    Range Rover Velar: ?????????? ?*?????? - Cardesign.ru - ??????? ?????? ? ???????????? ???????. ?????? ????. ?????????. ???????????. ???????. ???????????? ?????.

    AutoConception.com Rover has officially unveiled the new Velar during a special event at the Design Museum in London.

    As the fourth member of the Range Rover family, the new mid-size luxury SUV has been created to fill the ‘white space’ between the Evoque and Range Rover Sport models.

    Dubbed “Blade” by development engineers due to its slender profile and clean surfaces, standout design features include full-LED headlights that are claimed to be the slimmest to ever appear on a production Land Rover vehicle, while details such as the flush deployable door handles have helped improve the car’s aerodynamics; with a drag coefficient of 0.32, the Velar is now officially the most aerodynamically-efficient Land Rover ever produced.

    On the inside, the centrepiece is an all-new “Touch Pro Duo” infotainment system which features two 10-inch HD touchscreens integrated seamlessly behind secret-until-lit surfaces. The SUV’s 2,874 mm wheelbase has also helped deliver a 632-litre luggage compartment.

    Sitting on 22-inch wheels, the aluminium-intensive body incorporates a double-wishbone front- and integral link rear suspension, as well as an all-wheel drive system, four-corner air suspension on certain models, ground clearance of up to 251 mm, a wading depth of up to 650 mm, and a suite of traction technologies with Land Rover’s Terrain Response 2 and All Terrain Progress Control also coming as options.

    In terms of power, there will be a range of six petrol and diesel engines, all matched to ZF eight-speed automatic transmissions.

    Of all Velar models, the most exclusive of all will be the First Edition, which will be available worldwide but strictly for one model year only. It will be powered solely by 3.0-litre V6 petrol and diesel engines, with the petrol version delivering 375 bhp and a 0-60 mph time of 5.3 seconds. Top speed is electronically-limited to 155 mph.

    Designed and engineered at Jaguar Land Rover’s development centres in the UK, the Velar will be produced at the company’s Solihull production facility. It goes on sale in mid-July in the UK and Europe and in over 170 markets worldwide.

    Slots between the Evoque and the Sport. They will sell every one they can make.

    Starts at around $50k as OP mentioned but the top spec R-Dynamic HSE (V6 375BHP with 30mpg lol...) is around $88k and there is an even more expensive fully loaded 'First Edition' at $104k which is just an obscene amount of money for a mid-range Rangie but it's interesting how this car seems to have much more optional tech than the big poppa RR...

    Love its looks and I'm looking for a new SUV to replace my cayenne turbo. Really like the RRs but service has been an issue and they drive OK but not very sporty (compared to a poorsch).

    it just looks so generic, both within the existing RR lineup and with other SUVs on the market.

    This is proof positive that the only people still making beautiful cars are the Brits... and I guess the Italians. ;)

    The Japanese and Germans should take note.

    Just noticed these a few weeks ago. So simple and clean: I really like the shape and the modern interior that's not overdone. Jony Ive would approve.

    Just bought my wife the QX80 she'd been pining for since 2011 (we were looking exclusively at full-size 8-seat SUVs for her, which comes down to the Nissan/Infiniti, the GM "Subyutahodenalade" line or Ford Expedition/Navigator). I'm up to replace my DD next. Two SUVs might be obnoxious - I was looking at either sedans or maybe even a 4-seat coupe.

    So today i was asking a fellow attorney what he was thinking to replace his cayenne, joking about getting the Urus. Without skipping a beat he said, "Well not a range rover Velar, i just bought my wife one and it's junk." I expressed my surprise and he explained that it's been in the shop multiple times within a few months for warranty repairs. Said he'd never buy another.

    I had one as a loaner during scheduled service on my Jaguar. It was pretty cool but I’m not sure I was ready to go that futuristic.
