They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you ask Land Rover Cary, the judges of the 2018 World Car Awards have pretty good eyes—they just gave the Range Rover Velar their award for 2018 World Car Design of the Year.

More About the Annual World Car Awards

The annual World Car Awards represents a collaboration from automotive journalists from all over the world. This year’s jury comprised of 82 influential journalists from 24 different countries. The jury awarded the prize to the Range Rover Velar over fierce competition from other luxury carmakers, including Lexus and Volvo.

As can be imagined, Land Rover Cary wasn't the only one excited about this recent honor. As Gerry McGovern, Chief Design Officer, Land Rover, said: 

The continued evolution of our design philosophy is driven by a relentless focus on creating highly desirable vehicles our customers will love for life. The Range Rover Velar brings a new dimension of modernity to the Range Rover family with an abundance of innovative technologies, all making this vehicle a joy to drive and be driven in. We’re honored that the jury recognized the tireless endeavors of our designers and engineers in delivering a vehicle with compelling design, tailored technology and relevant innovation which come together to create a vehicle of instant desirability.

The Velar showcases the Above and Beyond design philosophy of Land Rover, with a sleek silhouette and incredible technology. It also comes available with a 380-hp 3.0-liter supercharged V6 gasoline engine, which reflects the pure performance you expect from the legendary British automotive engineers. You can learn more about it by reading our 2018 Range Rover Velar review.
