New Land Rover Range Rover Velar for sale

Driver assist systems

There is a range of driver assist and safety systems which you can get with the Range Rover Velar. One system is blind spot monitor, this system detects if a vehicle is approaching your blind spot then alerting you to this.;

Another system is the autonomous emergency braking which will alert the driver to a potential collision and if no action is taken the brakes will be applied automatically to avoid or reduce the impact of the collision.

What is it?

Range Rover’s classily-styled Velar was introduced as a sort of halfway house between the Evoque and the full-fat Range Rover Sport. With premium features and touches dotted throughout it, the Range Rover Velar has proved popular, but that hasn’t stopped Land Rover from giving it a mid-life facelift. It hopes that a few tweaks will boost the Velar’s appeal even further - but is that the case? Let’s find out.

What's new?

Though on the face of it it’s hard to tell what has changed with the new Velar, the developments under the skin have been quite extensive. The Velar now gets a range of JLR’s latest engines, including 3.0-litre diesel and petrol units incorporating mild-hybrid technology, as well as a new four-cylinder petrol plug-in hybrid. Active road noise cancellation has also been fitted to ensure that the cabin remains as hushed as possible, while JLR’s latest Pivi Pro infotainment system has been incorporated into the cabin, replacing the older setup which was really starting to show its age.

What's it like inside?

There were few complaints about the Velar’s interior when it was initially introduced, so many areas of the cabin have been left the same. There’s still a great approach to materials, with high-end finishes used throughout the car’s interior. They combine to make it into a really plush place to sit. Space-wise the Velar ticks the boxes too, with a good level of knee and headroom available for those sitting in the back - though taller passengers might find it a touch tight. In terms of boot space, the Velar offers 632 litres as standard which can be boosted to 1,690 litres by folding the rear seats down.

Verdict

The Velar delivers a brilliantly rounded experience and feels like the sweet spot in Jaguar Land Rover’s range of more road-focused cars. It’s got a great interior, classy exterior styling and a host of high-tech functions, too. The range of engines on offer is good, too, with buyers of all types well catered for.
