2023 Range Rover Velar Preview

May 31, 2022 — Land Rover introduces a new HST model to the Range Rover Velar family. The HST was first introduced on the high-performance Range Rover Sport and Evoque models and its dynamic character is now available on the Velar for the first time.

A distinctive combination of design enhancements and chassis features bring a new dimension of sporting luxury to the line-up, all based around the R-Dynamic S model. Its stealthy character is supported by a Black contrast roof and full exterior Black Pack. Available in the full color palette and exclusively in new Arroios Grey, privacy glass and unique Gloss Black 21-inch 5 split-spoke alloy wheels complete the exterior.

The dynamic theme continues inside, with Black Suedecloth headlining and steering wheel. A sliding panoramic roof ensures a light and airy cabin while a combination of chassis technologies help ensure the perfect balance of ride comfort and handling.

The new HST features Electronic Air Suspension with Adaptive Dynamics for optimum comfort and control, with Adaptive Dynamics constantly monitoring the road conditions and adjusting the suspension responses accordingly. Configurable Dynamics also ensures drivers are able to tailor the driving experience to suit their preferences. 

In keeping with its dynamic personality, the HST comes standard with a powerful 395hp six-cylinder Ingenium gas engine, featuring Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) technology for performance and refinement.

The Velar features the latest Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) technologies, including Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist. This intelligent technology makes automatic steering adjustments in order to help keep the vehicle in the center of the lane it is traveling in.

Customers can also experience enhanced air quality thanks to Cabin Air Purification Plus. The advanced technology enhances Cabin Air Ionization with PM2.5 filtration, providing refined interior air quality by monitoring CO2 levels and automatically introducing fresh external air when levels drop.

Greater convenience comes courtesy of the Park Assist Pack. While all Velar models feature a rear camera as standard, this comprehensive pack includes 3D Surround Camera and Park Assist for automatically controlled parking maneuvers.
