The Velar unveiled

The Range Rover Velar, which will soon be released locally, brings a new dimension of presence, modernity and minimalist design to the Range Rover family.Designed to fit between the Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Sport, the Velar offers levels of luxury, refinement and all-terrain capability never before seen in the mid-size SUV segment. This is a new type of Range Rover for a new type of customer.Created from a clean sheet using Jaguar Land Rover’s Lightweight Aluminium Architecture, the Velar represents the next chapter of the Range Rover success story as Britain’s biggest luxury export. Velar is defined by a visually reductive approach and meticulous attention to precision in every detail.This evolves Range Rover DNA and previews the next generation of Range Rover vehicles.Velar’s design is beautifully balanced, from its powerful proportions to its continuous waist line through to the taut tapered lines of the rear. The generous wheelbase contributes significantly to its elegance while helping to provide a spacious interior. “Velar is now the compelling, stand-out design in the class, showcasing perfectly optimised volume, powerful, taut surfaces and a stunning silhouette,” said Gerry McGovern, chief design officer, Land Rover.The large alloy wheels – in particular the range of 22-inch designs – optimise the vehicle’s stunning silhouette, while further enhancing Velar’s dramatic presence, and the flush, deployable door handles emphasise Velar’s reductive, sculptured form.A sophisticated approachDesign enabling technology has been engaged fully to create the new Touch Pro Duo infotainment system which is the centerpiece of Velar’s interior. Touch Pro Duo features two 10-inch high-definition touchscreens integrated seamlessly behind hidden-until-lit surfaces.These slim, intuitive displays work in harmony with the cabin architecture while adding an overall sense of modernity congruent with the vehicle’s exterior design. The Velar features a sophisticated all-wheel drive system, four-corner air suspension, class-leading ground clearance of 251 mm (213 mm when equipped with coil springs), class-leading wading depth of 650 mm (600 mm when equipped with coil springs) and Land Rover’s unmatched suite of traction technologies, including Terrain Response 2 and All Terrain Progress Control, ensuring that, like all Range Rovers, the Velar offers world-class all-terrain capability.Exceptional performance and efficiency comes from the range of six petrol and diesel powertrains, all matched to smooth-shifting ZF eight-speed automatic transmissions and all-wheel drive with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics.Clean, refined four-cylinder Ingenium diesels are offered in 132 kW and 177 kW variants. These engines are joined by the new, highly-advanced four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engines delivering 184 kW and 365 Nm, for 0-100 km/h acceleration in 6.7 seconds, and a more powerful variant with outputs of 221 kW and 400 Nm, to achieve the 0-100 km/h sprint in just 6.0 seconds.The V6 diesel combines an extraordinary 700 Nm of torque for effortless acceleration and off-road capability. The 280 kW supercharged V6 petrol engine combines exhilarating performance with a unique soundtrack and enables the Velar to reach 100 km/h in only 5.7 seconds, before reaching an electronically-limited top speed of 250 km/h.The Velar and Velar R-Dynamic range comprise Standard, S, SE and HSE specifications. Customers can also specify Black and Premium exterior packs for an even more distinguished appearance. Customers can build their own Velar using the Land Rover Configurator. - MotorPress and Own Reporting
