The Range Rover Velar Ingenium is really two cars in one – a sharp hot hatchback and a luxurious people carrier. Steve Teale climbs behind the wheel and delivers his verdict.

By all accounts, the Queen loved her Range Rover. She was said to be a familiar sight in her 2004 model, traipsing through the grounds of Windsor where she took the wheel, rather than chauffeurs or police protectors. This royal Range Rover was for sale at auction with an estimate of £50,000 to £60,000. Steep compared to a non-royal version but I’d suggest it’s still good value: it has 110,000 miles on the clock so it’s got plenty of life left in it and it has a 4.

You’d be foolish to take this around a quarry or through a river, but if you had to you could. I guarantee you would give up before the Velar. The door handles, which electronically retract to become flush with the car's bodywork, are an extremely neat touch, and it all works together to create a car that looks more like a concept than a vehicle you can actually buy. To succeed in the SUV segment, any car needs to be practical. The Velar is somewhat of a mixed bag in this respect.
