SE gets 20in wheels, adaptive Matrix LED headlights, a 360deg camera system, rear cross-traffic alert, a gesture-controlled powered tailgate, a 12.3in digital instrument cluster and an even more powerful stereo. Tempting if you’re thinking of adding a few options to S.

An output of 248bhp might sound like a decent amount of shove, but in a car as big as the Velar, it never feels particularly fast. Sure, on paper it’s quicker than the D180, lolloping from 0-62mph nearly two seconds quicker, but the petrol needs to be worked hard before it actually feels as brisk as the numbers suggest. It doesn’t match the low-down pulling power of the D180, which feels more urgent when moving away from a standstill. At least the P250’s engine is smooth, with a power delivery with no peaks or troughs.
