2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E vs 2024 Land Rover Range Rover Velar

Everybody wants more driving range from an EV, and now the Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium trim level offers up to 500 kilometres of it. In addition, the California Route 1 comes only with all-wheel drive and 502 kilometres of estimated range this year, while the all grades but the base Ford Mustang Mach-e Select model gets a standard panoramic glass sunroof. New Carbonized Gray and Vapour Blue paint colours also debut. The 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E is a world-class electric vehicle providing style, performance, technology, and utility in equal measure.

However, the big news is that Ford has introduced an enhanced version of its BlueCruise hands-free highway driving technology.

A luxury SUV with seating for five people, the 2024 Velar is one of four SUVs to wear Range Rover lettering across the leading edge of its hood. It slots into the lineup between the smaller Evoque and more capable Sport. This model year, the Velar receives several updates. They include design and comfort enhancements and several improvements to the standard infotainment system.

Verdict: The changes to the 2024 Range Rover Velar result in an appealing, if flawed, alternative to the best-sellers in the segment, such as the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE. If the Velar had more natural and less frustrating technology, it could raise its profile in the midsize luxury SUV segment considerably.
