Range Rover Velar 2021.

The Range Rover Velar 2021 is a luxurious 4WD SUV.

In the segment of luxury SUVs, there is quite serious competition today, since in addition to the BMW X5, Volkswagen Touareg and a number of other popular cars, the Range Rover Velar of 2021 is also represented there.

The British model is equipped by default with a plug-in all-wheel drive, which is complemented by several systems that provide a fairly high level of comfort when driving off-road.

In addition, Range Rover Velar offers an extensive list of on-board equipment, but at a price of 4.068 million rubles. However, the launch version of the British SUV uses a standard set of systems responsible for comfort and safety.

A more extensive list is available with a top-end modification, which includes 2 touch monitors, separate screens for second-row passengers, 4-zone climate, air suspension and parking assistant.

Today Velar is available in Russia with three diesel and four petrol turbo engines. One of the latter is capable of producing 550 hp. power.

Options and prices

The 2021 Range Rover Velar looks almost identical to the model that received a new body several years ago. More large-scale modifications are expected for the SUV within 1-2 years, which, judging by the published render photos, will lead to rather serious changes in the exterior.

The 2021 car differs from its predecessor in revised trim levels, prices and specifications. The British model lost some of its engines and acquired several new ones, one of which makes this SUV a full-fledged sports car.

In addition to the most powerful unit, the Autobiography Edition comes with 21-inch wheels, air suspension, panoramic roof, massage front seats and adaptive cruise control.

Specifications

The 2021 Range Rover Velar is compact compared to its closest competitors. Its length reaches 4803 mm, and the distance between the axes is 2874 mm.

The width of the SUV is 2032 mm, the height is 1665 mm. The British model is based on a double-link front and multi-link rear suspension. As an option, the SUV is offered pneumatic bellows, which increase the ground clearance to 251 mm. By default, all Range Rover Velar models feature an 8-speed automatic transmission and plug-in four-wheel drive.

The starting version of the British model is equipped with a 2-liter turbocharged engine with maximum output limited to 250 hp and a torque of 365 N * m. An SUV equipped with a turbodiesel engine of the same volume is offered for the same amount.

Its maximum power reaches 180 hp, thrust — 430 N * m. Slightly higher in the engine range is another turbodiesel engine of the same volume. It was boosted to 240 hp by installing a second turbine. and 500 N * m. Next on the list is the last 3-liter twin-turbo diesel unit that develops 300 hp. power and 700 N * m of thrust.

Almost at the top of the range of engines available to Velar is the 3-liter turbocharged engine. With a maximum output of 340 hp its torque reaches 450 N * m. The engine range is completed by a 5-liter turbocharged engine with 550 hp. and a thrust of 680 N * m.

Handling and off-road capabilities

The British model is equipped with a variety of driver assistants, which automatically provide the highest possible handling. Built-in systems, if necessary, reconfigure the steering mechanism, electronic engine control unit and transmission in such a way as to exclude the possibility of body rollover, skidding and other unforeseen circumstances when moving at different speeds, including when cornering.

In terms of off-road capabilities, the British model surpasses many of its competitors. This is partly provided by short front and rear overhangs, allowing the SUV to drive on fairly strong slopes. Integrated all-wheel drive combined with high-torque motors and a limited slip differential ensure good cross-country ability in different conditions.

The latter is facilitated by several operating modes of the transmission and engines, which are readjusted taking into account the characteristics of the road surface.

In addition, by equipping the car with air suspension, the driver can increase the size of the ground clearance. This allows the Velar to overcome fords up to 650 mm deep.

Service costs

When you buy a Range Rover Velar, you should count on a lot of money to maintain your car. And this is due not only to the fact that built-in engines do not tolerate Russian fuel poorly, which is why the resource of their turbines often reaches only 150-200 thousand kilometers.

The British model does not have a particularly high quality paintwork. And repainting even individual body parts is relatively expensive.

Dynamic performance and fuel consumption

The Velar, together with the base turbo engine, accelerates to 100 km / h in 6.7 seconds, consuming an average of 7.6 liters. The starting turbodiesel provides acceleration in 8.9 seconds.

But fuel consumption is reduced to 5.4 liters. The 2-liter biturbo diesel unit allows you to accelerate to «hundreds» in 7.3 seconds with an average fuel consumption of 5.8 liters.

The appearance of the second bi-turbo engine leads to the fact that the SUV needs 6.5 seconds to reach the specified indicator.

Fuel consumption rises to 6.4 liters. An SUV with a 3-liter turbocharged engine gains 100 km / h in 6.4 seconds, with a 5-liter in 4.5 seconds. Fuel consumption in the first case is 9.4 liters, in the second — 11.8 liters.

Design

Range Rover Velar is made in the same style as other models of the British brand. Moreover, the similarity between them is so great that it is not always possible to distinguish SUVs from photos. Velar is equipped with a proprietary radiator grille, installed at a slight angle.

On the sides of it are LED headlights with original architecture. Below is a bumper with a wide central air intake, closed with a fine mesh, and rather large side ones, which are crossed by 2 horizontal slats.

The stern of the British model is elongated. It has narrow and long lights that go far into the side of the body.

The rear bumper goes quite abruptly into the tailgate. This solution, as noted, provides better cross-country ability.

The Velar salon is simple and expensive. Faux leather trims the seats, door cards, transmission tunnel and dashboard. And the plastic parts have a varnished surface.

Velar’s front panel is angled in relation to the bottom. On the center console there is a touchscreen monitor, below which is a similar display with two large washers.

Another one, designed to select the driving modes, is located on the transmission tunnel.

The boot volume of the Velar is 558 liters. With the second row of seats folded down, this figure rises to 1,731 liters.
