The Range Rover Velar: a pure expression of modern luxury

The latest Range Rover Velar is a pure expression of modern luxury, featuring the new technology, trademark Range Rover refinement and a dramatic, clean and reductive new design.

As such, Jaguar Land Rover Windhoek has taken delivery of the latest Range Rover Velar and currently has two option options on the showroom floor. This means local enthusiasts may experience either the D200 Dynamic HSE in Ostuni White Pearl with Dark Garnet Interior or the D300 Dynamic HSE in Hakuba Sliver with Caraway Interior. And, what’s more, is that arriving in this month is the D200 Dynamic HSE in Charente Grey with Caraway interior. 

The new Range Rover Velar retails locally from about N$1 997 000, dependent on the option model of course. 

The new Range Rover Velar incorporates a new grille that combines with the characteristic floating roof, unbroken waistline and flush deployable door handles that define the world’s most desirable luxury SUV family. New super-slim Pixel LED headlights9 provide a technical, jewel-like appearance and optimised visibility while the exterior is enhanced by a new lower rear bumper and dark accents.

The Velar pioneered Range Rover’s reductive design philosophy and takes this approach to a new level inside. The new single floating 11.4-inch curved glass touchscreen is integrated into the centre console, providing immediate and intuitive control of all key vehicle functions1.

A full suite of technologies promotes passenger comfort and wellbeing, making the mid-size luxury SUV even more desirable. The Range Rover Velar also offers the quietest vehicle in its class for road noise, thanks to refinement technologies including the pioneering Active Road Noise Cancellation8 system.

The Range Rover Velar pioneered Range Rover’s reductive design philosophy and its new grille – alongside the introduction of new Pixel LED Headlights9 with jewel-like effect Signature Daytime Running Lights – ensure a unified look across the entire family.

At the rear, the powerful overhang provides balance and highlights the Range Rover Velar’s imposing length. Its pronounced kick adds to its muscular stance while the new lower rear bumper enhances its proportions, featuring hidden tailpipes for a clean and elegant appearance.

New LED taillights echo this sophistication with an eye-catching 3D appearance and super-red illumination. They are complemented by a full-length high-level stop-lamp.

Inside, the bold, elegant interior of the Range Rover Velar is even more reductive, with outstanding craftmanship and new materials. The latest evolution of Range Rover’s Pivi Pro7 infotainment forms the centrepiece; a single 11.4-inch floating curved glass interface is ergonomically positioned higher and within easier reach, to help minimise distraction and reflections1.

Four new leather colourways are introduced: Cloud, Caraway, Raven Blue and Deep Garnet. These are complemented by a curated choice of details, including new Moonlight Chrome on the steering wheel, centre console surrounds and air vents. Technical Light Anodised or Dark Anodised Aluminium, or tactile Shadow Grey Ash wood veneer trim finishers underline its elegance.

The new Range Rover Velar debuts the next generation of our award-winning Pivi Pro infotainment, with an elegant single curved glass interface and redesigned home screen that control all driving, comfort, and convenience features digitally. Ergonomically designed to reduce reflections and minimise distractions, the new system is intuitive and intelligent, with digital buttons and sliders designed to work in harmony with voice AI to make it quicker and easier to use.

For added convenience, additional controls in the permanently visible side bars include shortcuts for media and navigation, cameras and window demisters.

New Range Rover Velar is also Wi-Fi Enabled with a Data Plan6, ensuring occupants remain entertained and connected. Pivi Pro7 features twin embedded eSIM technology and cloud-based architecture, meaning it provides full access to a range of online apps6 – including Spotify and Deezer – integrated within the infotainment system.

Amazon Alexa3 brings a new level of convenience, providing the ability to control various settings and features using natural voice commands while reducing the potential for distraction1. Alexa is embedded in Pivi Pro7 and can simply be activated by saying “Alexa” or tapping the Alexa button on the touchscreen.
