Apart from its stylish and modern interior, the 2020 Velar comes with Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, two USB ports, voice control, eight speakers, and an audio input jack. Opt for the supercharged Ditto 3.0L V6 engine that is powerful, but not as fuel-efficient. Get substantial torque with the diesel 4-cylinder engine that produces 180hp, but with relaxed power delivery. Find a 2.0L 40cylinfer turbocharged base engine that delivers 247 horsepower. Each model in the Velar lineup uses an all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission. We used the front-facing camera once to circumnavigate street flooding, but with the optional 22-inch wheels and rubber band-thin Pirelli Scorpion Zero all-season tires (sized 265/45R-21), we dared not take the Velar off-road.With a restructured trim lineup, the new Range Rover Velar has fewer variants and now introduces the Velar S model with extra features. The SUV’s standard air suspension increases the Velar’s ride height by 1.7 inches in any of the three dedicated off-road modes (Rock, Crawl, and Sand), and there’s even a nifty front-facing camera for especially tricky trails.

Plus the brakes are much chunkier, growing from 13.8 inches to 15.5 inches in the front, and 12.8 inches to 15.6 inches in the rear – so this Velar stops as well as it goes.Īnd if you want to off-road the Velar SVAutobiography, you can.
It's still isn’t as sharp as something like a BMW X5 M or Audi SQ8, but the SVAutobiography has noticeably less body roll than its base sibling, a quicker turn-in, and better-weighted steering. And the 17-speaker Meridian sound system is pretty bangin.Īdd to that firmer air springs and tweaked adaptive dampers and the Velar shows improvement in the handling department.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, an intuitive head-up display is available as an option ($970), and there's a large 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster that's very versatile, able to display everything from navigation and audio to driver assistance features. The graphics on both screens, at least, are crisp and the cabin is feature-rich. The lower 10.0-inch screen is better, since it mostly handles simple functions like climate control, drive modes, and seating positions, but it's still imperfect and slow.īut that's really our only complaint. While the dual touchscreens look pretty, the user interface on the upper 10.0-inch touchscreen is especially poor the screen is laggy, unresponsive to touch inputs, and prone to freezing. It's 2020, and Land Rover still uses an outdated, Microsoft-powered infotainment system.

The only big differentiator is the SVAutobiography's sportier steering wheel and a metal paddle shifters. The same dual-touchscreen center stack and handsomely quilted leather seats – in this case, ebony and tan-colored – carry over. Like the exterior, the Velar's cabin doesn't stray much from the base model visually.
Our vehicle looks especially restrained wearing Fuji White paint over gloss silver wheels – though we'd probably go for something brighter if we bought one, like Firenze Red or Madagascar Orange. The new active exhaust's quad tips, optional 22-inch wheels ($1,300), and beautifully knurled "SVAutobiography" badges on the nose and tailgate are really the only signs of the Velar's more sporty nature. And adding the SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition's somewhat subtle visual cues makes the already attractive SUV even prettier.
