Regenerative brakes improve the Range Rover Velar’s fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The GV80 Coupe doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.
Tires and Wheels
The Range Rover Velar has a standard space-saver spare tire so you can replace a flat tire and drive to have the flat repaired or replaced. A spare tire isn’t available on the GV80 Coupe; it requires you to depend on roadside assistance and your vehicle will have to be towed.
Suspension and Handling
The Range Rover Velar has a standard automatic front and rear load leveling suspension to keep ride height level with a heavy load or when towing. The Range Rover Velar’s height leveling suspension allows the driver to raise ride height for better off-road clearance and then lower it again for easier entering and exiting and better on-road handling. The GV80 Coupe doesn’t offer a load leveling suspension.

The Range Rover Velar Dynamic SE executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver 1 seconds quicker than the GV80 3.5 e-Supercharger (26.2 seconds @ .7 average G’s vs. 27.2 seconds @ .66 average G’s).
For greater off-road capability the Range Rover Velar has a greater minimum ground clearance than the GV80 Coupe (8.4 vs. 8.1 inches), allowing the Range Rover Velar to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged. The Range Rover Velar w/Air Suspension’s minimum ground clearance is 1.8 inches higher than on the GV80 Coupe (9.9 vs. 8.1 inches).

Cargo Capacity
The Range Rover Velar has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat up than the GV80 Coupe with its rear seat up (30.9 vs. 29.3 cubic feet). The Range Rover Velar has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the GV80 Coupe with its rear seat folded (62.7 vs. 61.1 cubic feet).
A low lift-over cargo hatch design makes loading and unloading the Range Rover Velar easier. The Range Rover Velar’s cargo hatch lift-over height is 29.7 inches, while the GV80 Coupe’s liftover is 31.6 inches.
Towing
Standard Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) on the Range Rover Velar uses the Dynamic Stability Control sensors to detect trailer sway, then uses individual brakes to counteract any swaying and help keep the tow vehicle and trailer steady. The GV80 Coupe doesn’t offer electronic trailer sway control.
Ergonomics
On a hot day the Range Rover Velar’s driver can lower all the windows from a distance using the keyless remote. The driver of the GV80 Coupe can’t use the remote to operate the windows.
Heated windshield washer nozzles are optional on the Range Rover Velar to prevent washer fluid and nozzles from freezing and help continue to keep the windshield clear in sub-freezing temperatures. The GV80 Coupe doesn’t offer heated windshield washer nozzles.
To improve rear visibility by keeping the rear window clear, the Range Rover Velar has a standard rear wiper. The GV80 Coupe doesn’t offer a rear wiper.
In poor weather, headlights can lose their effectiveness as grime builds up on their lenses. This can reduce visibility without the driver realizing. The Range Rover Velar offers available headlight washers to keep headlight output high. The GV80 Coupe doesn’t offer headlight washers.
