If you're looking for serious off-road capability, the Sport should be your pick. It offers a high-/low-range transfer case for precise control in off-road situations. The Velar, on the other hand, is less tailored to Moab-style rock-crawling, but will be sufficiently capable of getting you to your snow chalet. Range Rover intended the Velar to be more off-road capable than most SUVs, but it still can't compete with the Sport as it doesn't have the Sport's low-range transfer case. The Range Rover Sport boasts an approach angle of 29.1 degrees and departure angle of 28.5 degrees. Compare that to the Velar's 21.2 degrees and 20.6 degrees. Both models are available with many off-road features.
