Auto123 gets in a first drive of the 2024 Land Rover Range Rover Velar, which delivers an attractive combination of power, poise and panache
Paris, France – Land Rover’s Range Rover Velar is a bit of an odd duck in the lineup, sitting somewhere between the Range Rover Sport and smaller Evoque. Size-wise it’s closer to the former, but it shares one of its powertrains – a 4-cylinder turbo – with the latter. So is it simply an upgrade from the Evoque, or a slightly more coupe-like version of the Sport? We travelled to France’s gorgeous Champagne region to try and sort it out.
Interior of 2024 Range Rover Velar Photo: D.Heyman Interior of the 2024 Range Rover Velar – 8.5/10While it should come as no surprise that you can have your Velar with a full real leather interior, this year we get the addition of a Turkish Kvadrat wool blend that’s more sustainable than leather and can be paired with ultra-fabric inserts. The former provides a nice, warm feel to the interior while the latter may seem a little wetsuit but it does add durability.
Tech in the 2024 Range Rover Velar – 8/102024 sees the addition of an updated version of Range Rover’s Pivi infotainment system on the floating 11.4-inch touchscreen display with curved glass. It’s attractive and responsive and you can feel the quality of the glass through your fingertips. It’s lovely and a real sign that attention has been paid to updated interior quality.
Add both a hill-descent control system and cruise control-based crawl, and you have a proper off-roader that really does feel tough to stop.
