The Range Rover Velar arrives in South Africa

The luxury SUV was created in 1970 when Land Rover launched the original Range Rover. Almost half a century later that spirit of innovation continues with the fourth member of the Range Rover family.

Positioned between Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Sport, the Velar brings modernity and elegance to the Range Rover family. This feels like is a new type of Range Rover for a new type of client.

“The new Range Rover Velar enhances a model line-up that originally defined the luxury SUV segment and continues to do so. Velar brings increased choice to new and existing customers in a growing SUV market. It leads the way in terms of design, usable technology, new materials and of course Land Rover’s legendary go anywhere, do anything capability.”
– Jaguar Land Rover UK Managing Director, Jeremy Hicks

The design of the Velar is beautifully balanced, from its powerful proportions to its continuous waistline, through to the taut, tapered lines of the rear. The generous wheelbase contributes to its elegance while helping to provide a spacious interior, which is elegantly simple. With switches being kept to an absolute minimum, it’s a calm space inside.

The new Touch Pro Duo infotainment system is the centrepiece of Velar’s interior, and features two 10-inch, high-definition touchscreens integrated seamlessly behind secret-until-lit surfaces.

The light, aluminium-intensive body, together with double-wishbone front- and Integral Link rear suspension provides the perfect basis for agile handling and superior driving comfort. Developed to meet the most demanding crash test regulations worldwide, it has exceptional levels of crash protection.

The most exclusive models will be the First Edition, which are available worldwide but for one model year only. This  model is powered solely by the 3.0-litre V6 petrol and diesel engines and features a wealth of extra features as standard, including full extended leather interior trim to complement the perforated Windsor leather seats in Nimbus or Ebony, 1,600W Meridian Signature Sound System, Matrix-Laser LED headlights and 22-inch Split-Spoke wheels with diamond-turned finish. Exterior paint colours for the First Edition are Corris Grey, Silicon Silver, and Flux Silver – a unique satin finish exclusive to the First Edition for the first model year.
