There comes a time, in every lucky woman’s life, where she gets to drive the brand new Range Rover. For a whole week. This was my first foray into Rangey territory, and I got to test the new model, the Velar which is bigger than the Evoque, but smaller than the Sport.
With so much going on at home – Christmas coming, the school term finishing, plus playdates, ballet concerts and swimming lessons coming out of my ears, I decided this week I needed to focus on me – to get healthy and re-energise for the busy weeks to come. And I had the Range Rover Velar for the challenge.
It was, quite simply, a pleasure to drive. Smooth and so so quiet, with an incredible 17 speakers so you can literally have a party in the car. I was stuck in traffic directly under the flight path where the planes are so low it feels like they’re flying through the trees, but all I had to do was shut the windows, turn the music up a bit and it honestly felt like I was in my living room. Stealth. Think of it like the car version of The Rock. Strong and solid, but gosh it looks good in a suit and can get around surprisingly quickly.
It’s got excellent interior space without compromising on agility while driving and parking, and has a luxurious feeling that lasts long after you exit the car. The advanced technology and attention to detail is fabulous.
Watch the video to see how it went over my week of being good to myself.
