Land Rover has its traditions regarding winter conditions and land dynamics. Bearing the qualities of this infrastruc­ture, Velar also features the brand’s smart four-wheel drive system. Responsibl­e for transferri­ng the torque generated by the engine to a specific tire when needed, this system ensures a comfortabl­e ride on snowy and challengin­g roads. Thanks to Range Rover Velar, the puddles you encounter during your winter adventure turn into a game rather than a cause for concern. Velar’s terrain qualities push the limit enabling it to easily drive through puddles as deep as 650 millimeter­s, turning these moments into a source of fun. Additional­ly, the

Hill Descent Control takes charge of all functions and provides you with a chance to experience the benefits of technology to the maximum. Meanwhile, you can observe and meet your other needs with the electronic assistance on three different screens inside the cockpit. Offering a nearly 80 kg extra baggage space in the ceiling compartmen­t, Velar is ideal for big families going on a winter vacation thanks to its baggage capacity for 673 liters when the rear seats are in the upright position.

You can increase the comfort of driving with traffic assist, heated front glass, standardiz­ed air particulat­e filter, and ionization options that increase the quality of air inside the car. Thanks to the combinatio­n of these elements, all that the driver has to do is to enjoy the freedom of maneuverin­g with precision even in the steepest driving conditions.
