Land Rover deletes dials in interior refurbished Range Rover Velar
Cosmetic modifications Range Rover Velar
The updated Range Rover Velar gets a new grille, very slim Pixel LED headlights, a new rear lower bumper and darker accents. The exhausts are optically omitted at the rear. There are two new body colors: Metallic Varesine Blue and Premium Metallic Zadar Grey.
11.4-inch glass touchscreen
In the interior of the refreshed Range Rover Velar, we detect an 11.4-inch glass touchscreen with the latest version of the Pivi Pro infotainment system. Thanks to Active Road Noise Cancellation, it is even quieter on board the car.
Over-the-air updates
Up to 80 percent of the total ECUs in the Velar – such as Pivi Pro infotainment, in-car navigation and diagnostic systems, chassis and driveline systems – are capable of wireless updates. This allows the Range Rover Velar to receive the latest software “over-the-air” for many more systems, without a visit to the dealer. The Range Rover Velar also has an Online Pack with data plan and WiFi.
No more dials!
Controls for climate control, seat heating and audio volume are continuously visible in the new display sidebar. With this, the rotary knobs with push and pull functions are a thing of the past. These turned out to be not always practical in practice. Now the functions are housed on the sides of the touchscreen, much better!
Leather-free interior? No problem!
Range Rover is introducing four new leather colors for the Velar: Cloud, Caraway, Raven Blue and Deep Garnet. Not a fan of leather with animal welfare in mind? The Range Rover Velar is again available with a leather-free interior. The leather-free option combines wool blend from Danish Kvadrat with inserts of Ultrafabrics textiles. The upholstery features a new Diamond Herringbone perforation pattern. Kvadrat’s wool blends are 58 percent lighter than leather.

Larger battery for plug-in hybrid P400e
The Velar P400e PHEV received a 20 percent larger battery with a total capacity of 19.2 kWh. That’s good for an all-electric range of up to 64 kilometers and is expected to be up to 51 km in real-world use. As such, the Range Rover Velar P400e offers over 20 percent greater EV range compared to the previous version (53 km). This PHEV sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds and the top speed comes out to 209 km/h possible. Top speed in EV mode is capped at 140 km/h. Via a 50 kW DC fast charger, the battery can be charged to 80% in 30 minutes. At a normal AC charging point (alternating current), battery charging takes about 2.5 hours with 7 kW of charging power.
Land Rover’s Velar is available in S, Dynamic SE, Dynamic HSE and Autobiography trims. Prices start at 85,510 euros.
