Range Rover Velar kæmper om prestigefyldte priser
Range Rover Velar er netop udvalgt som en ud af tre biler, der kæmper om hele to prestigefyldte priser. Nemlig World Car of the Year og World Car Design of the Year.
Først blev Gerry McGovern – Land Rovers designchef - kåret som Årets Bildesigner – og nu er der måske mere hæder på vej til Land Rover. Range Rover Velar er nemlig med i finalen om World Car of the Year og World Car Design of the Year.
Om Velar løber med en eller begge priser afsløres på New York International Auto Show den 28. marts. Bag den prestigefyldte kåring står en 75 mand stor jury, der har medlemmer fra 24 forskellige lande.
I kampen om at blive World Car of The Year kæmper Velar mod Mazda CX 5 og Volvo XC60. Når det gælder World Car Design of the Year er det igen Volvo XC60, der har fundet vej til podiet, mens også Lexus LC500 er i finalen
Det er ikke første gang at Jaguar Land Rover har succes ved prisuddelingen. Sidste år vandt Jaguar F-PACE både titlen som World Car of the Year og World Car Design of the Year.
