I want to first recap the Range Rover hierarchy and where the new Velar fits into the grand scheme of things. Kicking off the model range is the successful Range Rover Evoque, which has done wonders for the brand and has made the prestigious Range Rover nomenclature more accessible to a wider audience. Next in line is the Velar, which is said to plug the gap between the Evoque and the Range Rover Sport. At the top of the totem pole is the Range Rover big body. According to JLR SA, the rationale to introduce the Velar is to entice Evoque owners who are looking at something slightly bigger, but perhaps do not have the wherewithal to acquire the Range Rover Sport. With a starting price of a R947700, it manages to undercut the recently launched Land Rover Discovery, if only just. At some 4803mm in length and with a 2874mm wheelbase and a 1665mm height, the Velar is quite a sizeable car lengthwise and has a roomier cabin than its model pecking order suggests. It also shares much with its sibling, the Jaguar F-Pace, including the platform and engines. The differences are in the small nuances. While the F-Pace is more road biased and has significantly stiffer roll bars than the Velar, the latter shares its off-road capabilities with the rest of its Range Rover siblings, which means the Terrain Response 2 system, although it is a R16 700 option. While the range will be available with both two-litre turbo petrol and two-litre turbo diesel variants from its Ingenium engine family, we got to drive in the flagship three-litre V6 supercharged (280kW and 460Nm) in R-Dynamic HSE guise around the iconic racetrack. Granted, while this may have been a bit of a misnomer to test a premium SUV of this disposition, it nonetheless gave us a taste of what the model offers. While the performance is great, it is perhaps not its jewel in the crown. Accolade has to go to the way the thing looks – insert “drop-dead gorgeous” or any other superlative adjective here. The cabin takes what we have become accustomed to and moves it upwards. There are fewer buttons adorning the drop-down section of the fascia where a touchscreen now resides. It controls everything from the climate control to seat warmers. The infotainment screen as seen on the Discovery and F-Pace still resides, but has been taken a step further in the Velar as it comes with a tilt function. Order books for the Velar have been open since May with the first customers scheduled to receive their vehicles middle of next month. w w w. b u s i n e ss l i v e . c o . z a DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS: The Range Rover Velar Picture: LAND ROVER SA

It was, however, not complete without a protest occurring during the semi-finals. One semi-final will be replayed tomorrow, with the winner facing Blue Buffs from Dordrecht.

The former Hangklip and Queen’s College flanker/eighthman is still enjoying his rugby with Italian side Zebre. Standing at 1.93m and a bulky 104kg, the 24-year-old is in his prime and destined to be doing what he does best for many years. Meyer was always destined for stardom, having played from 2006 to 2011 for the Border Bulldogs youth side before being spotted by the Sharks. He played for the Border U13 side in the 2006 Craven Week competition and twice represented the Baby Bulldogs side at the Under 18 Craven Week competitions in 2010 and 2011. After initially signing for the Sharks Academy, he played in the U21 competitions and Vodacom Cup before playing in 25 Currie Cup matches before being snapped up by the Italian side in 2015. Meyer is still contracted to Zebre and is currently competing in the Po 14. He has also played in the European Rugby Challenge Cup. JOHAN MEYER
