2024 Range Rover Velar Borrows Style And Tech From Its Handsome Big Brother – SlashGear

The 2024 Range Rover Velar, which is available starting February 1, 2023, comes in four different trim levels. Starting at the bottom, the $61,500 Velar P250 S and $63,600 P250 Dynamic SE are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four producing 247 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. Moving up in the range, the $70,600 Velar P400 Dynamic SE and $78,400 Velar P400 Dynamic HSE are both powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six mild hybrid that produces a more significant 395 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. Both of the available powertrains feature AWD and deliver power to the wheels via eight-speed automatic transmissions. Land Rover claims that the P250 platform goes from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 7.1 seconds, while the P400 does it in just 5.2 seconds. 

Some high-tech chassis and suspension technology is also included as standard on the P400 models, bringing Adaptive Dynamics and Configurable Dynamics down from the premium Land Rover models with an option for Electronic Air Suspension available. The Adaptive Dynamics and optional Electronic Air Suspension constantly adjust to different conditions at each wheel to deliver an excellent on-road experience. The mild-hybrid powertrain in the P400 models helps to improve efficiency by collecting lost energy where it can and pumping it back through the wheels via a 48v Li-ion battery in the rear of the vehicle.
