2023 Range Rover Velar: What’s new?
Exterior & Design
The 2023 Velar emerges with a subtle yet stylish evolution, like a confident stride that turns heads. At the front, its grille boasts a refined touch, a nod to timeless sophistication. But it’s the pixel LED headlamps that steal the show, illuminating the road ahead with a hypnotic allure. Moving along the sides and back, Velar maintains its allure, a testament to the brand’s legacy. Only the wheels have changed embracing a new personality with a dash of flair.
And that’s not all—Land Rover presents two new shades, Premium Metallic Zadar Grey and Metallic Varesine Grey, inviting you to paint your adventures with the colours of elegance.
Interior & Features
Inside the cabin of the 2023 Range Rover Velar, the changes are immediately noticeable and thoroughly appreciated. The dashboard of this luxury SUV now boasts a massive 11.4-inch Pivi Pro Infotainment System, complete with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ensuring seamless connectivity with your devices. Accompanying this technological marvel is a fully digital driver’s display, bringing essential information to the driver’s fingertips.
A remarkable decision by the carmaker adds to the charm: the removal of all physical buttons from the centre console. This thoughtful touch creates a clutter-free environment, elevating the interior to a whole new level of sophistication and elegance. As you settle into the driver’s seat, you’ll relish the premium feel that surrounds you, enhancing every moment of your journey.
Engine & Transmission
The all-new Velar offers two impressive engine choices, catering to different preferences and driving styles. First up is the petrol range, which gets a robust 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged unit renowned for its impressive 250 horsepower and peak torque of 365Nm. On the other hand, for those who prefer the efficiency and power of diesel, the new Velar offers a reliable 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel motor with an overall output of 204 horsepower and a peak torque of 430Nm.
To ensure an effortless driving experience, both these power units come paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, with the convenience of paddle shifters. Basically, whether you opt for the petrol or diesel variant, the experience is going to be smooth.
Additionally, the luxury SUV gets an all-wheel drive system that comes as a standard feature across the range.
Range Rover Velar, apart from being a luxury SUV, is also celebrated for its off-road capability. With a water-wading capacity of 580mm and air suspensions, the updated model also looks promising.
