The door handles were hidden flush to the bodywork and they popped out only when the car was unlocked. Like it was born as a Range Rover Sport and then its roof was chopped. It had a very raked A-pillar and a short greenhouse. The Velar was squeezed between the Evoque and the Range Rover Sport. Unlike its bigger siblings, the Velar didn't feature a low range transfer box. Range Rover already had a complete lineup starting with the compact sized Evoque and continuing with the Range Rover Sport and up to the majestic Land Rover Range Rover. In 2017 there was an increasing demand for luxury SUVs around the world. It’s derived from the Italian verb ‘velare’ meaning ‘to veil or cover’.The Range Rover Velar was launched in the summer of 2017 and it came on the market with a name that was used before only for a pre-production model in 1969. In case you’re wondering about the Velar name, it goes all the way back to the 1960s when it was used as an alias to disguise original Range Rover prototypes. Velar Edition and HST versions round off the range. The P400e plug-in hybrid is still available - utilising a 2.0-litre petrol engine and electric motor for a 398bhp total output.īasic Velar models score that attractive entry-level price tag, with S and SE trims followed by R-Dynamic S, SE and HSE models. If you're looking for a 296bhp P300 model, or a 542bhp SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition (badged P550), then it'll have to be a used example, as both have been removed from the Velar price list. Petrols kick off with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, producing 247bhp (badged P250), followed by the P400 using a 3.0-litre unit generating 394bhp. Existing options still include the 201bhp D200, followed by a single 3.0-litre V6 oil-burner, producing 296bhp, badged D300. The 178bhp and 237bhp 2.0-litre diesel models are no longer available to order, while the 271bhp D275 3.0-litre oil-burner has also been discontinued. There’s a wide range of different engines and specifications, which some might find a little confusing at first, but buyers should be able to narrow down a choice from the available petrol, diesel and plug-in powerplants. Although lavishly equipped and comfortable the Velar takes a somewhat minimalist approach in the cabin, with swathes of leather adorning dashboard and doors, and an elegant central console with the twin stacked digital screens of JLR’s Pivi Pro system and a digital instrument pack creating a cool, high-tech ambience. The interior of the Velar is just as appealing to connoisseurs of elegant design.
