The new Range Rover Velar embodies modern luxury, showcasing the latest technologies and highlighting Range Rover’s brand identity through its distinctive, minimalist design.
Range Rover Velar reflects the pioneering minimalist design philosophy of Range Rover, elevating this approach to a new level with its interior. The new 11.4-inch curved glass touch screen integrated into the center console offers immediate, intuitive control over all key vehicle functions.
The comprehensive suite of technologies enhances passenger comfort and well-being, making this mid-size luxury SUV even more desirable. It is also the quietest in its class regarding road noise, thanks to advanced sound optimization—including the industry-leading active road noise cancellation system.
The electric-hybrid Range Rover Velar is more powerful and versatile than ever before, featuring an extended all-electric range of up to 64 kilometers (40 miles) due to a redesigned battery pack. Meanwhile, the choice of highly advanced gasoline and diesel engines, combined with mild hybrid technology, improves overall efficiency and fuel economy.
Velar is instantly recognizable as part of the Range Rover family through its refined elegance and dramatic presence. It embraces the brand’s signature minimalist design philosophy, enhanced by a new grille and innovative front LED pixel headlights that create a gem-like effect, ensuring visual harmony across the entire family lineup.
The strong roofline provides balance and emphasizes the car’s imposing length. Its clear stance adds to its powerful posture, while the new lower rear bumper enhances its dimensional character.
New three-dimensional LED taillights deliver a striking appearance with red illumination. These are complemented by a full-length, high-level brake light.
The interior design of the new Range Rover Velar features greater minimalism and refinement, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and the use of innovative materials. The latest evolution of Range Rover’s Pivi Pro infotainment system takes center stage, with a single floating 11.4-inch curved glass interface positioned for optimal accessibility, helping reduce distractions and glare.
Range Rover Velar continues to offer a leather-free cabin option, featuring new seat designs and materials. This choice combines premium wool from Danish textile experts Kvadrat with Ultrafabrics™ polyurethane fabric, featuring a new diamond perforation pattern. The additional Kvadrat wool, inspired by bespoke stitching, is 58% lighter than leather and delivers a modern look while maintaining traditional Range Rover luxury.
The new Range Rover Velar offers power suitable for every driver, including the plug-in hybrid P400e model. It is available alongside a range of clean Ingenium gasoline and diesel engines, all equipped with mild hybrid technology—a significant upgrade that enhances fuel efficiency.
Comfort and precision, hallmarks of Range Rover, are achieved through advanced architecture and suspension settings. The optional electronic air suspension delivers serene comfort and maintains stability on rough terrain while effectively absorbing shocks through adaptive dynamics—this advanced structure continuously adjusts damping forces at each wheel.
The advanced P400e hybrid electric engine ranks among the best in the market, combining a 105 kW electric motor with a gasoline-powered Ingenium engine for smooth, rapid performance.
The balance between pure electric driving and gasoline performance clearly demonstrates that the P400e Velar is ideal for short urban trips and long journeys alike. Its expected real-world range reaches 51 kilometers (32 miles), sufficient to ensure daily average distances can be covered without any tailpipe emissions. For longer trips, the plug-in hybrid powertrain delivers a combined total range of 684 kilometers (425 miles).
With pure electric power alone, the car can travel up to 64 kilometers (40 miles). Total CO₂ emissions stand at 38 grams per kilometer under the WLTP cycle, with fuel consumption at 1.6 liters per 100 kilometers (176 miles per gallon). The all-electric range has increased by over 20% compared to the previous 53 kilometers (33 miles), thanks to a larger 19.2 kWh battery.
With 404 horsepower and 640 Nm of torque from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder Ingenium gasoline engine producing 300 horsepower and a 105 kW electric motor, the P400e accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds (0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds), with a top speed of 209 km/h (130 mph). It can also operate on electric power alone at speeds up to 140 km/h (87 mph).
