If a mid-size SUV with excellent performance and forward-thinking amenities is your number one desire, you've likely come across the 2025 Range Rover Velar and Cadillac XT5.

Performance Showdown 

The 2025 Range Rover Velar performs better than the Cadillac XT5 thanks to an incredible engine setup and a wide range of standard equipment. The base-level turbo inline-four engine in the Cadillac XT5 creates 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque which can't match up to the 247 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque the Range Rover Velar produces.  

There's also a 3.6-liter V6 engine available for the Cadillac, but it once again loses to the incredible 3.0-liter turbo V6 inside the new Land Rover vehicle. Depending on which trim level you select, this powertrain pumps out a whopping 395 horsepower alongside 406 lb-ft of torque. You'll also receive standard four-wheel drive, while all-wheel drive is only an option for the Cadillac XT5 - it comes standard with front-wheel drive. 

Technology Comparison 

While the 2025 Cadillac XT5 offers an upscale interior with plenty of technologies, it doesn't compare to the innovative cabin of the Range Rover Velar. All trim levels of the Cadillac XT5 come equipped with an eight-inch touchscreen display. On the other hand, the Range Rover Velar offers an 11.4-inch curved display with the award-winning Pivi Pro™ infotainment system. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard, but they cost extra on the Cadillac XT5. 

The Cadillac XT5 opts for a physical drive gauge with a small digital display, but the Range Rover Velar has a completely digital gauge display with a customizable interface. You'll also have the option of a 14-speaker sound system, but the Range Rover Velar beats this with an available 17-speaker Meridian™ sound system.
