The new Range Rover Velar is now available to order at Land Rover dealers across South Africa. Pricing for the fourth model in the Range Rover family starts at R947 700.

Initially there will be three available variants: the  Velar,  Velar R-Dynamic and Velar First Edition, the last of which will be the flagship, limited-edition model that will only be available during the vehicle’s first year on sale and exclusively on order. This top-of-the-range model will boast every available feature in high-specification trim, leaving customers with only the need to specify the exterior colour, wheel design and choice of engine (six-cylinder petrol or diesel).

The Velar and Velar R-Dynamic meanwhile come in a selection of four specification levels: base, S, SE and HSE. All derivatives and trim levels are available with a choice of Ingenium four cylinder and Land Rover’s six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines.

The Velar features slimline matrix-laser LED headlamps outside, and Land Rover’s all-new InControl Touch Pro Duo infotainment system inside. The infotainment system comes with two, 10-inch high-definition touchscreens integrated into the central console. The British brand describes the technology as allowing for ‘elegant simplicity by keeping switchgear to an absolute minimum’.

With class-leading ground clearance and wading depth, matched to Land Rover’s suite of traction technologies, Velar remains a true Land Rover – offering world-class all-terrain capability. All models feature four-corner air suspension, smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmissions and all-wheel drive with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics.

With a wide range of options available – such as 17 wheels, 13 exterior paints and of 15 material finishes for the interior – customers can make use of the Land Rover Configurator to customise their own Velar.

The New Range Rover Velar will go on sale in the fourth quarter of 2017.
