Unveiled: Range Rover Velar at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show
Range Rover Velar, the fourth member of the British SUV specialist’s flagship brand, has been officially revealed at 2017 Geneva Motor Show. Velar slots between the ample void that existed in Land Rover’s portfolio between Evoque and Range Rover Sport. At first glance, Velar is essentially a design amalgamation of the flagship Range Rover and the compact Evoque.
Range Rover Velar, the fourth member of the British SUV specialist’s flagship brand, has been officially revealed at 2017 Geneva Motor Show. Velar slots between the ample void that existed in Land Rover’s portfolio between Evoque and Range Rover Sport. At first glance, Velar is essentially a design amalgamation of the flagship Range Rover and the compact Evoque.
The sporty front fascia features brilliantly detailed matrix-laser headlights, an instantly recognizable Range Rover grille, and an aggressive bumper with brushed metal chin and burnished copper-finished gills.
The new luxury SUV is bestowed with a gently tapering roofline with contrast finish, oversized rear quarter glass panel, bulging wheel arches, and stance-enhancing 22-inch wheels. Wraparound LED taillights which are bridged by a logo-carrying black insert, a prominent black diffuser with twin exhaust pipes constitute the rear fascia.
Interior adopts an uncluttered design with light color themes. Noteworthy features include a fully digital instrument console and Touch Pro Duo infotainment system which employs two 10-inch displays.
Like all the latest JLR products, Range Rover Velar is underpinned by an aluminium intensive platform. Customers can choose from a range of 6 engine options starting from the 180 PS 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel unit all way to the 380 PS Supercharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol unit.
The SUV comes packed with a plethora of safety, dynamic and comfort features such as air suspension (standard on all 6-cylinder models), adaptive dynamics, optional active locking rear differential, Terrain Response 2, All Terrain Progress Control, Hill Descent Control, Low Traction Launch, and Gradient Release Control, Reverse Traffic Detection, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Driver Condition Monitoring, etc.
Range Rover Velar will make its sales debut in the UK in mid-July before going on sale in 170 international markets. Prices in the UK start at 44,830 pounds (around INR 36.76 lakhs). We expect the newest Range Rover to make it to our shores towards the end of 2017.
