Following its global debut at the Geneva Motor Show last month the all-new 2018 Range Rover Velar sat on display for the first time in the United States at the New York International Auto Show. It goes on sale later this year, and will be priced from $49,900.
Positioned between the Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Sport, the Range Rover Velar signals the next generation of design direction for the Range Rover family; offering new levels of luxury, refinement and all-terrain capability for the mid-size SUV segment.
Three available diesel and gas powertrains will be offered — a responsive 180hp 2.0-liter turbocharged Ingenium diesel 4-cylinder, a 247hp 2.0-liter turbocharged gas Ingenium 4-cylinder and a 380hp supercharged 3.0-liter gas V6 engine – in Velar and Velar R-Dynamic trim levels, that are selectively available in four separate specifications including Standard, S, SE and HSE.
Available for the first model year only, the Range Rover Velar First Edition is the most-exclusive specification available for the new model and will be limited to approximately 500 units in the United States, The First Edition is powered by the 380 hp 3.0-liter supercharged V6 gas engine and features a wealth of extra features as standard, including unique interior and exterior finishes, as well as a 1,600W Meridian Signature Sound System. First Edition models are available exclusively in one of three colors; Corris Grey, Silicon Silver, or Flux Silver – a unique added cost satin finish exclusive to the First Edition, which will be meticulously hand-sprayed at Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations’ Oxford Road Technical Center in the UK.
