3 March 2017

The British are expanding the range premium brand Range Rover mid-size crossover Velar

The base of the car is 2874 mm (for comparison, the Evoque 2660 mm, while the Sport – 2923 mm) are likely Velar for the space in the cabin to the "big" brother. Due to its dimensions, the Luggage compartment reaches a considerable 632 liters, and when folded second-row seat and is 1732 L.

The Range Rover Velar has a short front overhang, wide throat of the radiator grille and ultra-thin led headlamps, which made it possible to reduce the visual massiveness of the front end. If you look at the rear portion of the Velar, it is possible to think that it's a coupe or ultimately the newest – so fast looks car.

If you pay attention to the details, one of the most remarkable for a production car – the retractable handles of opening doors, adding charm to the style. They move smoothly when unlocking the vehicle with the key FOB and gently hiding back when the vehicle is locked or when you set them to speed above 8 km/h. Pneumatics allows you to vary the height of the car depending on the driving mode – below the standard for 10 mm at cruising speed (105 km/h) and above, standard 213 mm by 46 mm, while overcoming heavy offroad, but subject movement is not more than 50 km/h. There is also a feature of Auto Access, thanks to which the car "sags" 40 mm after the ignition is turned off to simplify the process of landing.

For Velar Range Rover has developed a system electric power-assisted steering EPAS, which changes the gear ratio depending on vehicle speed. EPAS also configured so as to maintain contact of the driver with the road without compromising comfort control. 

Brand management system all-wheel drive from the Range Rover became a byword. Terrain Response allows the driver to select the mode of operation of the engine and transmission depending on road surface. Remarkably, the versions of the First Edition more advanced Terrain Response system 2 is installed as standard. However, this system will be available on other versions only as an option.

At Velar you will set the six different variations of petrol and diesel engines. The power plant – for every taste. They all meet the emissions standards Euro 6. Turbo diesel three to choose from: two two-liter inline "four" – D180 (180 HP and 430 N∙m) and D240 (240 HP and 500 N∙m), and V-shaped "six" in volume of 3.0 liters capacity of 300 HP and prodigious torque 700 N∙m, which allows you to overclock pretty heavy SUV to 100 km/h in 6,5 s.

The petrol engines is the 2.0-liter Ingenium four series with different settings and, as a result, different output characteristics. Р250 power of 250 HP and a torque of 365 nm and P300 with 300 HP and 400 N∙m of torque. Chief among the petrol units, of course the 3.0 V6 Mitrovi named Р380 (380 HP and 450 N∙m).
