Comparison Review

Comfort
The Cadillac XT5 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Land Rover Range Rover Velar, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Cadillac XT5 and the Land Rover Range Rover Velar.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Cadillac XT5 as you will with the Land Rover Range Rover Velar, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Cadillac XT5 is a better financial choice over the Land Rover Range Rover Velar, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac XT5 is much slimmer than the Land Rover Range Rover Velar, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Cadillac XT5 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Land Rover Range Rover Velar.

Handling
The Cadillac XT5 has the same turning radius as the Land Rover Range Rover Velar, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Land Rover Range Rover Velar is clearly the choice over the Cadillac XT5 for pulling heavy loads. The Cadillac XT5 has a little less horsepower than the Land Rover Range Rover Velar.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Cadillac XT5 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Land Rover Range Rover Velar.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Cadillac XT5 and the Land Rover Range Rover Velar. The Cadillac XT5 has less cargo space than the Land Rover Range Rover Velar, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
