2023 Range Rover Velar
Overview
The Range Rover marque is synonymous with capable luxury and the 2023 Velar is no exception. Slotted between the smaller Evoque and the larger Range Rover Sport, the Velar simply exudes a luxurious aura befitting of its nameplate, all while providing a lively yet comfortable experience for the driver and passengers alike.
The Perfect Ride For…
Those who enjoy the finer things in life will love everything the 2023 Velar has to offer. Take its bold exterior design, for starters. With its sharp body lines and crisp character profiles, it’s hard to mistake the exterior for any other vehicle outside of the Range Rover fold. The overall silhouette is anything but boxy, yet you’ll find plenty of space for your carry-on luggage, especially with the rear seats up. The minimalist interior, dominated by a pair of well-integrated 10-inch touch screens, is nothing short of posh with a healthy dash of elegant simplicity. Premium materials reign supreme, from brushed aluminum trim to premium leather upholstery. The central armrest is even split into two and both halves move independently for added comfort and support.
Drive and Handling
Those interested in the 2023 Range Rover Velar have a trio of engine and power options to choose from, starting with the standard 2.0-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder in the S and R-Dynamic S trims. Rated at 247 horsepower with 269 pound-feet of torque at the ready, this choice provides ample motivation on the open road while returning impressive fuel economy. There’s also a turbocharged and electrically supercharged inline 6-cylinder engine available in the R-Dynamic S. Displacing 3.0 liters, that powerplant belts out a beefy 335 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. Choosing the HST bumps that 6-cylinder mill’s output to a stout 395 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque.
The Velar’s well-tuned suspension gives this midsize luxury SUV a certain poise and athleticism seldom found with others in its class. Of course, the Velar is no wallflower when it comes to running off-road trails. For starters, the Velar boasts up to 9.9 inches of available ground clearance. All Wheel Drive comes standard along with an Active Rear Locking Differential, so you’re never without surefooted power or traction. An optional air suspension and adaptive damper system ensure sharp, firm handling even in the twisties.
