The lighter colours show off the shape more.
LT - The D5 rear never caused me much issues, I’m generally a s t magnet but yes the Velar is a bit more pleasing on the eye. Very brave decision to put a number plate in the centre
In fact the whole car is very easy on the eye

Just my opinion, of course, but it seems like someone compressed the rear of the vehicle when you look at it from the side. I do like the shape of the front from the same angle.

Not that sure of the Velux Velar, for me it depends on colour, weather and whether I’m on the way to the gym (grumpy) or back (happy).

I still think the front is worse than the back.

If the Velar had low range available and a 3 tonne tow capacity, it'd be top of my list. The ground clearance etc. is good enough for most with the air suspension. Oh, and they could knock 10 grand off the price, that would be good too!
It is a good looking vehicle although I prefer it in mid/dark grey. I'm not a great fan of white vehicles anyway. At least, not in the UK. Somewhere hot and sunny, white makes sense.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
