For more information about the Velar's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. In our 75-mph highway fuel economy test, the four-cylinder Velar delivered just 26 mpg. The EPA has rated the Velar's inline-six engine as high as 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, but the turbocharged four-cylinder is slightly more efficient, with ratings of 21 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. Richard Prescott | Car and Driver Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG Models equipped with the available air suspension can raise and lower their ride height for either more dynamic moves on-road or greater dexterity off it. The suspension competently controls the SUV's body motions and keeps body roll in check while returning a firm, well-managed ride. Much like the Velar's acceleration, its handling is by no means sporty. The turbocharged-and-supercharged 3.0-liter inline-six will undoubtedly provide better acceleration performance, but we haven't yet tested this new powertrain, which is offered in both 335- or 395-hp flavors. We sampled a four-cylinder Velar for a 40,000-mile long-term test, and that model required 7.4 seconds to hit 60 mph. The base engine is a 247-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that is well behaved enough but struggles to move the Velar's substantial heft. We'd also suggest adding the Dynamic Handling package, which includes an adjustable suspension system, a drive-mode selector, and All Terrain Progress Control, which acts as a sort of adaptive cruise control for low speeds or in slippery conditions. The Velar is also available with Land Rover’s latest Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, including Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist, which is part of the Driver Assist Pack and can make automatic steering adjustments in order to keep the SUV in the very center of the lane it is currently occupying.We'd recommend going with the P250 R-Dynamic S, which adds 19-inch wheels, a dual exhaust with polished finishers, a blacked-out grille, and leather-and-suede interior upholstery. The Velar Edition is now available with the full Velar paint palette and features a black contrast roof, to go with Black Pack exterior detailing, 20-inch Gloss Black wheels, sliding panoramic roof and privacy glass. “The new Range Rover Velar HST offers a combination of carefully curated design enhancements and chassis features to add to its breadth of capability, without compromising its trademark refinement and comfort," said Land Rover brand director Finbar McFall.Īside from this new HST variant, Land Rover has also reintroduced the Velar Edition into the line-up, based on the R-Dynamic SE specification. Both these units feature mild hybrid technology and should offer sufficient performance for everyday use. In terms of performance, the Velar HST is available with a choice of six-cylinder Ingenium engines – either the P400 (400 horsepower gasoline) or the D300 (300 horsepower diesel).
By the way, Adaptive Dynamics works by constantly monitoring the road conditions and adjusting the suspension response accordingly. Other highlights include the Black Suedecloth headlining and steering wheel, a sliding panoramic roof, Electronic Air Suspension with Adaptive Dynamics, standard rear parking camera and lots more.
The Velar HST is based on the R-Dynamic spec, featuring a black contrast roof, full exterior Black Pack, bespoke 21-inch five split-spoke alloy wheels, privacy glass and a new Arroios Gray exterior color.
