Land Rover Range Rover Velar-Advanced technology is pivotal to the contemporary design


The Land Rover Range Rover Velar brings a new dimension of glamour, modernity and elegance to the Range Rover family. Designed to fill the white space between Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Sport, Velar offers levels of luxury, refinement and all-terrain capability never before seen in the mid-size SUV segment. This is a new type of Range Rover for a new type of customer.

Land Rover Range Rover Velar is defined by a visually reductive approach and meticulous attention to precision in every detail, which evolves the Range Rover DNA.
Velar’s design is beautifully balanced, from its powerful proportions to its continuous waist line through to the taut tapered lines of the rear. The generous wheelbase contributes significantly to its elegance while helping to provide a spacious interior.
The large alloy wheels – in particular the range of 22-inch designs – optimise the vehicle’s stunning silhouette, while further enhancing Velar’s dramatic presence.

Advanced technology is pivotal to the contemporary design: the full-LED headlights are the most slender ever to appear on a production Land Rover vehicle. The flush deployable door handles emphasise Velar’s reductive, sculptured form, and contribute to the low drag coefficient from only 0.32 – this is the most aerodynamically-efficient Land Rover ever produced.
Look inside Velar’s interior and you will see elegant simplicity, sophistication and refinement. An unwavering belief in reductionism has been fully employed, with switches being kept to an absolute minimum to help create a calm sanctuary.
Design-enabling technology has been engaged fully to create the new Touch Pro Duo infotainment system which is the centrepiece of Velar’s interior. Touch Pro Duo features two 10-inch high-definition touchscreens integrated seamlessly behind secret-until-lit surfaces. These slim, intuitive displays work in harmony with the cabin architecture while adding an overall sense of modernity congruent with the vehicle’s exterior design. All of this is equalled by Velar’s practicality: luggage compartment volume is an impressive 632 litres-litres including a reduced-section spare wheel as standard in the UK.

Velar features a sophisticated all-wheel drive system, four-corner air suspension, (available on 300PS Diesel and 380PS Petrol engines) class-leading ground clearance of up to 251mm (213mm with coil springs), class-leading wading depth of up to 650mm (600mm with coil springs) and Land Rover’s unmatched suite of traction technologies including Terrain Response 2 (optional) and All Terrain Progress Control (optional). Velar – like all Range Rovers – offers world-class all-terrain capability.

Exceptional performance and efficiency come from the range of six petrol and diesel powertrains, all matched to smooth-shifting ZF eight-speed automatic transmissions and all-wheel drive with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics.
Clean, refined four-cylinder Ingenium diesels are offered in 180PS and 240PS variants, noted for their low 142g/km CO2 emissions and high 500Nm torque output respectively. These engines are joined by the new, highly-advanced four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine which delivers 250PS and enables acceleration from 0-100km/h in just 6.7 seconds (0-60mph in 6.4 seconds). An even more powerful, 300PS version of this engine will join the Velar range later in 2017.
The V6 diesel combines an extraordinary 700Nm of torque for effortless acceleration and off-road capability with CO2 emissions of only 167g/km. The 380PS supercharged V6 petrol engine combines exhilarating performance with a unique soundtrack and enables Velar to reach 0-60mph in only 5.3 seconds (100km/h in 5.7 seconds) before reaching an electronically-limited top speed of 155mph (250km/h).

The Velar and Velar R-Dynamic core range comprises Standard, S, SE or HSE specifications. Customers can also specify Black and Luxury Exterior Packs for an even more distinguished appearance.
The Premium pack is reserved exclusively for standard Velar derivatives, and includes lower exterior trim elements finished in high-gloss Narvik Black to enhance Velar’s elegant detailing. The addition of fog lamps, a tow-eye cover in Narvik Black, tow-eye cover surround in Indus Silver and lower bumper blades in Atlas Silver complete the transformation.

A range of 13 exterior colours is available: Fuji White, Narvik Black, Yulong White, Indus Silver, Corris Grey, Santorini Black, Kaikoura Stone, Byron Blue, Firenze Red, Aruba, Silicon Silver and Carpathian Grey.
For the ultimate premium appearance, a new Flux Silver satin paint finish is available exclusively for the First Edition model for the first model year from Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations division, and applied at the Oxford Road Technical Centre. The advanced paint features a vacuum-metallised pigment to enhance the effect of both light and shade over Velar’s elegant, svelte form.

The interior: a calm sanctuary
Mirroring the taut, uncluttered, and perfectly-executed exterior design, Land Rover Range Rover Velar’s precision-crafted interior embraces the latest technology to enhance Range Rover’s trademark architecture with a renewed focus on luxury materials, exquisite detailing, and exceptional refinement.
Positioned in the Sports-Command driving position, Velar’s front seats balance performance-oriented design and support with opulent comfort, and offer up to 20-way adjustment and heating, cooling and massage functions. Meticulously weight-optimised and designed to liberate additional interior space, the seats have also been carefully sculpted for ease of entry and egress to and from the cabin.
The 40:20:40 rear seats offer exceptional comfort too, and are available with heating and electric recline options. The optional four-zone climate control and cabin air ionisation system make Velar’s interior an even more comfortable place to be for all occupants.
The instrument panel’s strong, horizontal beam is the defining element of Velar’s interior architecture. It rakes back dramatically towards the windscreen to create the fastest angle of any Land Rover and underline Velar’s dynamic driving characteristics. The slender air vents reinforce Velar’s reductive, technology-enabled design.
The steering wheel features capacitive switches which benefit from situation-based options and even allow the driver to programme specific functions.

STATE-OF-THE ART TECHNOLOGY
Technology and innovation define Velar, exemplified by the new, state-of-the-art Touch Pro Duo infotainment system.
World debut: Touch Pro Duo infotainment system
Land Rover Range Rover Velar debuts the new Touch Pro Duo infotainment system, which is the most advanced system developed by Jaguar Land Rover and is truly state-of-the-art. Touch Pro Duo features two high-definition 10-inch touchscreens that form the centrepiece of the beautifully minimalist cabin, and blends a futuristic, elegant feel with an intuitive, engaging interface and unrivalled performance and functionality.
Located in the instrument panel’s horizontal beam, the upper touchscreen’s menu is divided into three panels for navigation, media and phone. Interaction is as intuitive as using a tablet or a smartphone: swiping across the screen to change between menus, pinching to zoom in and out, and with pressing and scrolling across the screen to pan across maps.

Each function may be individually selected and displayed on the main part of the screen to provide more detailed information and user options. A side panel provides access for up to five frequently used functions: navigation, media, phone, news and weather. A permanent menu bar in the lower portion of the screen provides easy access to the home menu, vehicle settings and parking aids.
Gently curved to lie perfectly flush with the surrounding structure, the upper screen can tilt through 30 degrees, allowing the driver to set it at the perfect position. The screen returns to the flush position when the ignition is switched off and automatically adjusts to the previously selected angle when the ignition is switched on again.
The lower touchscreen is integrated within the centre console and manages features including the climate control and Terrain Response functions. To make operation as easy and intuitive as possible there are no moving images and no complex menus – the touchscreen provides direct inputs to seat temperature controls, for example.
The two touchscreens are complemented by two tactile rotary controllers. These are reconfigurable to enable them to perform several functions, such as adjusting cabin air temperature, optional massage seat settings or the Terrain Response mode. Between them is a dial for controlling the audio system.

Advanced driver-assistance systems
An array of advanced driver-assistance systems is fitted as standard or offered as optional equipment to make every journey in a Velar safer and more comfortable.
One of the most important technologies is Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB). A forward-facing stereo camera inside the windscreen monitors the road in front of the vehicle: if the AEB system determines that a collision with another vehicle or a pedestrian is imminent then full braking is triggered automatically, helping to avoid the collision altogether, or to mitigate the effects. The driver also receives visual and audible warnings before braking is initiated.
The stereo camera is also used for the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) functions. By monitoring road markings and the driver’s use of the indicators, these systems can help to prevent the driver from drifting out of lane: LDW can issue a haptic warning though the steering wheel, while LKA goes further and can apply a small amount of counter-steering to keep the vehicle in its lane. The steering torque is easily overcome if required.
Driver Condition Monitoring measures steering inputs, throttle and brake application and analyses lane departure and the driver’s use of direction indicators. If the system’s algorithms determine from the data that the driver is drowsy – for example from periods of no steering followed by sudden, sharp inputs – a coffee cup symbol is shown in the instrument cluster to encourage them to take a break.

Towing made simpler and safer
Every vehicle wearing the Land Rover badge must offer exemplary towing ability: Velar is no exception. With a towing capacity of up to 2,500kg, and technologies already proven on the new Discovery that make this inherent ability even more accessible, Velar is the most useable tow vehicle in its class.
The semi-autonomous Advanced Tow Assist function enables all drivers to perform potentially difficult reversing manoeuvres with ease. Instead of steering and counter steering as normal, the driver simply guides the trailer into position using the infotainment system’s rotary controller – Advanced Tow Assist calculates all necessary steering inputs.
First, the driver must configure the system through the touchscreen by entering key trailer details. Then, responsive trajectory lines appear on the touchscreen from the feed from cameras in the door mirrors, showing the anticipated direction of the trailer. By steering the trailer using the infotainment system’s rotary controller and by operating the pedals, the driver can reverse park trailers with ease because the system calculates all of the necessary steering inputs. It will also alert the driver if the requested steering input is excessive and could cause a jackknife.
Hitch Assist makes it easier to hook at trailer up to Velar. Using surround cameras, the touchscreen displays the towbar and recognises the trailer mounting point. The display then zooms in, showing a trajectory line, which responds to steering wheel inputs to help the driver to guide the vehicle into place.
The Trailer Light Test feature enables drivers to test trailer lights without help from others by pulsing them while they are standing outside the vehicle. The system can be activated with a button in the luggage compartment or by using the touchscreen.
