British luxury SUV-maker Land Rover will add the fourth SUV in its Range Rover range in India towards the end of this year. The Range Rover Velar has already been listed on the India website of the company and some dealerships of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) have commenced bookings for the upcoming SUV.

The latest interesting tidbit from CarandBike suggests that the launch of the Velar in India has been scheduled for November. To be slotted between the Evoque and Range Rover Sport, the new Velar will face competition from Audi Q7, Volvo XC90, Jaguar F-Pace, Porsche Macan and BMW X5.

Range Rover Velar is expected to be offered in four variants -- Velar, Velar S, Velar SE and Velar HSE. Rumour has it that the SUV could be priced in the range of Rs. 1.05 crore to Rs. 1.35 crore (ex-showroom). The price could drop further in the wake of Goods and Service Tax (GST) from July 1.
