The major differences between the Defender and Velar include seating capacity, performance, and interior space. Read on to learn more and begin the process of selecting your next new Defender or Velar.

  
  

Seating and Passenger Capacity

A five-passenger, luxury SUV, the Range Rover Velar model has two rows of seating and four doors. Both rows offer comfortable seats that are well-padded to retain their coziness, and both have plenty of legroom to keep your friends and family happy.

But if you need a different seating configuration than just two rows, the Defender seats up to 8 passengers. It has more options available, including a jump seat that that can be ordered for the front seat, which increases capacity to six people, or a third row that can requested to increase seating to seven. The Defender offers flexibility and personalization for seating and capacity

Power and Performance

As impressively designed and built Land Rover models, you can expect both the Velar and the Defender SUVs to come with the power and performance you crave. Both have different engine options to choose from to help you personalize your level of performance as well, and both have standard all-wheel drive.

However, when it comes to customizing your SUV and its level of power, each one offers something a little different. For example, the Defender presents Long Island driers with an exciting and efficient hybrid alternative. But the Range Rover Velar, on the other hand, has a diesel option available. Both have alternatives that drivers are looking for, and which one appeals to you comes down to your personality and your performance needs.

Interior Space

The Range Rover Velar SUV features a dramatic and sporty exterior, with a swooping and coupe-like roof that sweeps back and presents a dramatic profile that other drivers notice. The new Defender for sale, on the other hand, is a rugged and aggressively style SUV that's ready for adventure. Both are stunning and capable on road and off, but each has its own unique design and style.

For you and your passengers, this difference in exterior size translates to a difference in interior space. The swooping roofline of the Velar SUV means it has lower headroom amounts inside the passenger cabin, but it comes out ahead in terms of space for cargo, even without the third row added to the Defender. Add in the optional third-row seating and the Defender cargo space shrinks even more.
