Paris, 27 April 2017 – Last night Land Rover unveiled the latest member of the Range Rover family, the Range Rover Velar, in the heart of Paris. The Velar was dramatically craned onto the seventh floor rooftop terrace of the famous Haussmann building BVH Marias Rue de Rivioli.

This follows the global unveiling at the Design Museum London in March and the subsequent premieres in Milan, New York and Shanghai.

Gerry McGovern, Chief Design Officer, Land Rover, said "The iconic Parisian skyline served as the perfect backdrop for the new Range Rover Velar's stunning silhouette. Modern, elegant and with a touch of glamour the Velar couldn't have been more at home in one of the world's most beautiful cities".
