The Perfect Ride for…
Those in the market for a luxury crossover SUV that has eye-catching style, smooth handling, and generous cargo room. This unique vehicle has a sporty feel while also being reliably functional. It's perfect for families bringing their children to after-school activities or luggage-toting road warriors doing some light traveling. With convenient features—such as a unique InControl® infotainment system and an interactive driver display—it’s easy to recommend the Velar for anyone who wants to stay connected, entertained, and comfortable on the go.
Drive & Handling
The base engine option is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, which makes 247 horsepower. Opt for the range-topping 3.0-liter V6 engine, and you'll be sitting pretty in a vehicle that achieves an impressive 340 horsepower in a promised 0-60 mph time of 6.1 seconds. A third option, for the most power-hungry drivers, is a 3.0-liter capable of up to 400 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque.
The Velar's off-roading capability is one of its biggest draws. With a 23.6-inch wading depth, the Velar excels at going where other vehicles cannot. The Velar also offers 34.4 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the second-row seats. This is optimal for carrying any luggage you and your passengers may have for an exciting weekend trip, or it can simply function as a place to put all of your bags after a day of shopping. And if a weekend adventure is calling your name, the Velar has a maximum towing capacity of 5,500 pounds—perfect for towing a boat or trailer.
Key Features
InControl®Remote
This available feature is a multi-function app that allows you to monitor and interact with your Range Rover Velar from your smartphone or smartwatch. Through the app, you can start the engine remotely, lock and unlock the vehicle, locate your Velar on a map or by using the beep and flash function, and track the journeys you take. The InControl® Remote is a modern feature that will certainly come in handy!
Rear-seat entertainment
Sit back, relax, and let the professionals at Land Rover take care of you. The optional rear-seat entertainment system features two 8-inch screens mounted within the headrests, allowing backseat passengers to watch movies or listen to music.

The system has two USB 3.0 ports, one HDMI port, and a Mobile High-Definition Link that supports most smartphones, tablets, or other devices. Two sets of WhiteFire® connected headphones and a wireless remote are included.
Alternative Options
