Return of the Velar
Range Rover refreshes its velvety SUV SAY ITS NAME: VELAR IT IT SOUNDS
sumptuous really rollingoff the tongue doesn’t it? Indeed the the whole experience of the the newly revised Range Rover Velar
is like that The Velar
pioneered the smooth minimalist look of all modern Range Rovers and yet it it has always flown a a a a a a little under the the radar It’s not as as legendary as as the the big Range Rover and not the the obvious sporty choice — that’d be the the Range Rover Sport — but the Velar
pulls off a a a rare trick of of being both practical and cutting-edge (its debut happened on TikTok which tells you what Range Rover is going after) The revised Velar
gets design tweaks that are subtle but meaningful: note the flush door handles and and futuristic-looking grille There are mechanical upgrades too including a a a a a revised plug-in hybrid drivetrain with more EV-mode driving range up to 64 kilometres You’ll find the the best new change fin in in the the interior between the the the newly designed seats smack dab in the the the middle of the the the ultra-minimal dashboard The Velar
debuts the next-gen Pivi Pro infotainment system presented on a a a floating 11 4 inch curved display The company says it’s easier to use with 80 per cent of tasks just one or two taps away Even better the new infotainment system will stay fresh and up-to-date longer thanks to its new over-the-air update capability Say it again: Velar
