5/2/2023 0 Comments Range rover velar r dynamic![]() The six-pot is paired with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive – the latter features LR’s Intelligent Driveline Dynamics and Terrain Response systems. Under the bonnet is a 3.0 litre supercharged V6 petrol engine that serves up 380 PS and 450 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm. This is the range-topping Velar P380 R-Dynamic, introduced here late last year. The P250 is good for 0-100 km/h in 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 217 km/h. The Velar was first offered here with the P250 powertrain, which consists of an Ingenium 2.0 litre turbo-four with 250 PS and 365 Nm of torque from 1,200 to 4,500 rpm, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Large alloys – those you see here are 21-inchers – enhance the Velar’s presence. The latter emphasises the Velar’s reductive, sculptured form and contributes to the low drag coefficient of Cd 0.32. Headlining details include Matrix-Laser LED headlights, and cool flush deployable door handles, a Range Rover-first that has since gone on the second-generation Evoque. The designers highlight the SUV’s visual balance, powerful proportions, generous 2,874 mm wheelbase (Evoque 2,660 mm, RR Sport 2,923 mm) and taut tapered lines of the rear. It’s unmistakably a modern Land Rover product, but the Velar is defined by what JLR calls a “visually reductive approach” and attention to detail. Before you snigger, who actually goes off tarmac in their luxury SUVs anyway? It seems like the only bukits these big and blingy 4x4s climb are Bukit Damansara and Bukit Bandaraya, so the Velar should prove to be popular. That customer is one who cares about style more than the Range Rover’s undoubted go-anywhere off-road ability. Where does the latest RR, the Velar, sit in this family? According to Jaguar Land Rover, the Velar was designed to fill “the white space” between the Evoque and the Range Rover Sport, and that it’s a “new type of Range Rover for a new type of customer.” Now, there’s one whole range of Range Rovers, from the Range Rover to the chic little Evoque.
