But changing of drive modes was just a few taps away and going from a dirt road to pavement took only a few seconds of adjustment by the car. I also had zero chance of getting the Velar into any sort of snow and ice.
2018 RANGE ROVER VELAR FULL
Although it wasn't nearly long enough to gauge the full capabilities of the SUV.
I drove the Velar offroad for a small amount of time. Yes I can see one flying down the 101 piloted by a CTO downing a latte, but I was happy to just cruise in the SUV and enjoy the experience of the Velar. Land Rover sent us the SE trim level (starting at $67,400) with the top of the line engine and yes it was powerful and quick, but there's something weird about a quick Range Rover. Comfort mode smoothes out the bumps, but if the road jostling was reduced an additional 15-percent, it would be outstanding.įor those wanting power along with a sportier ride, the Velar comes with either a 2.0 liter 247 horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder, a 2.0 liter 180 horsepower turbocharged diesel or the 380 horsepower 3.0 supercharged V6. The downside is that that stiffer suspension translates to a rougher ride. You're not going to push it through switchbacks like a BMW X3 M40i, but it handles sharp turns on the freeway without too much body roll. The Velar feels sportier than the usual Range Rover. It's also very dense especially in the dash cluster and I found it helpful to just sit in the driveway and acclimate myself with everything that's possible before adjusting features on the road.Īnd it's on the road where the Velar reveals that it's not just the cabin built for a younger demographic.

I just wish it supported CarPlay and Android Auto since the navigation system doesn't accept voice controls. It's an impressive feat and feels more like the future than many cars on the market including anything from Tesla. The whole set-up feels like the automaker created it for a concept car, then decided to go ahead and put it in a production car. The setup also mirrored the issue with the dash with physical controls creating a situation where you believe you're doing one thing (adjusting a feature) and end up doing something else (changing the music). Nothing overly annoying, but enough to note. It's in this area where I encountered the most latency while moving up and down feature lists. They go from controlling your music, to delving into a huge amount of features for the digital display and how the car behaves. The dash cluster continues the futuristic look with a digital display that's controlled by physical buttons on the steering wheel that change their operation based on what's on the screen.
While it's great in theory to have physical controls for various settings that are contingent on what's on the display, on a few occasions, I went to adjust the temperature of the passenger cab only to realize too late that I was changing the drive mode from Comfort to Snow and Ice. In addition to on-screen menus, there are two knobs on the bottom screen that, depending on the selection, control either the climate, drive mode or seat heater/cooler.
The navigation of both screens is quick to master, with tabs for the main sections always available (at the bottom for the top screen and at the top for the bottom screen). With it you can adjust the climate control, change drive modes, and choose media from the bottom screen while navigating to your destination and keep an eye on the news and weather with the top display.

To highlight its new focus on technology, the Velar features Land Rover's new Touch Pro Duo dual-screen infotainment system in the center dash.

Starting at $50,000, the new high-tech Range Rover - with a plethora of displays and features - keeps the driver and passengers connected while pampering them in plush seats with enough room to drag your gear to the beach, mountains or even a certain festival in the desert.
