What Is the Difference Between a Range Rover Velar and Sport?

Content: If you're looking to save fuel, the Sport offers a plug-in hybrid powertrain that delivers 42 MPGe ( see our explanation of MPGe here ). The Sport also boasts a fuel-efficient diesel engine that nets 24 mpg combined. That's comparable to the four-cylinder gas engine offered on the Velar, which tops out at 23 mpg. The Range Rover Sport delivers a bit more power than the Velar. The Sport gets anywhere from 254 hp to 575 hp, depending on the engine chosen, compared to the Velar's 247 to 550 hp. No matter which version of the Sport or Velar you get, it won't be a slouch. Even the four-cylinder Velar feels quick enough in the city and on the highway.
