Land Rover is updating the Range Rover Velar with a
wide range of enhancements, including a 3.0-liter V6 D275 engine option, more
driver assistance features, more tech and particulate filters to further reduce
emissions.
The D275 V6 diesel speaks for the horsepower figure
(275 PS), while adding 625 Nm of torque. The price for a RR Velar
D275 is £ 49,740 (US$ 67,618), roughly £ 2,000 more than the D240 model.
The 19MY Velar is priced from £ 44,735 (US$ 60,814), which lands you the base D180
model. Furthermore, the flagship D300 diesel starts from
£ 50,990 (US$ 69,317), whereas the two 2.0-liter P250 and P300 petrol models are
priced from £ 45,830 (US$ 62,302) and £ 48,330 (US$ 65,700), respectively. Purchasing a
2019MY car also means a broader choice of specs, which include the Kvadrat
premium textile seats, available more widely across the range.
Meanwhile, Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering
Assist joins the Velar’s suite of driver assistance systems, while the
High-Speed Emergency Braking system makes it easier to mitigate forward
collisions. Systems such as a Rear Camera, Front and Rear Parking Aids, Driver
Condition Monitor, Emergency Braking and Lane Keep Assist are now fitted as
standard.
The Range Rover Velar now features
Adaptive Dynamics, available on multiple versions throughout the range. The
system works by monitoring wheel movement 500 times per second and body
movements 100 times per second, continuously varying damping forces at all four
corners. Also optional is the air suspension, available on all models with V6
engines, as well as the four-cylinder 240 PS diesel and 300 PS petrol.
A number of petrol models also gain a larger
82-liter fuel tank (up from 63 liters),
specifically, the P250 and P300, both powered by JLR’s 2.0-liter Ingenium
engine.
