At P6.6 million, the mid-sized SUV is a pure expression of modern luxury.
Range Rover recently launched its refreshed Velar in the Philippines, a model that was first released in 2017. Featuring the latest technology and the brand’s trademark refinement and dramatic design, the Velar pioneered Range Rover’s reductive design philosophy and takes this approach to a new level inside.
Chris Ward, Vice President for IC Land Automotive Inc., said, “The refreshed Range Rover Velar is surely the most desirable mid-sized luxury SUV in the Philippine market. The competition in this segment is very aggressive, and with the Velar’s new design and features, it’s better than ever. We are confident that our clients here will be able to take on all road conditions in exceptional comfort with the Range Rover Velar.”
A new grille combines with the characteristic floating roof, unbroken waistline and flush deployable door handles; new super-slim Pixel LED headlights provide a technical, jewel-like appearance and optimized visibility while the exterior is enhanced by a new lower rear bumper and dark accents.
Reductive design
Prof. Gerry McGovern, OBE, Chief Creative Officer of Jaguar Land Rover, said, “The Velar is a flawless example of our modernist design philosophy—clean, reductive, and compellingly desirable. Defined by perfectly optimized proportions, Range Rover Velar embodies effortless sophistication with a bold elegance and dramatic presence that is truly unique.”
At the rear, the powerful overhang provides balance and highlights the Velar’s imposing length. Its pronounced kick adds to its muscular stance while the new lower rear bumper enhances its proportions, featuring hidden tailpipes for a clean and elegant appearance.
Inside, the bold, elegant interior of the Range Rover Velar is even more reductive, with outstanding craftmanship and new materials. The latest evolution of Range Rover’s Pivi Pro7 infotainment forms the centerpiece; a single 11.4-inch floating curved glass interface is ergonomically positioned higher and within easier reach, to help minimize distraction and reflections.
Range Rover Velar continues to offer a leather-free cabin option, with new seat designs and materials. The leather-free option combines wool from Danish textile experts Kvadrat with Ultrafabrics polyurethane textile inserts, featuring a new diamond herringbone perforation pattern.
Inspired by bespoke tailoring, Kvadrat wool blends are 58% lighter than leather and provide a modern appearance and enhanced tactility for a contemporary take on traditional Range Rover luxury.
Two new color options join the exterior palette: Metallic Varesine Blue and Premium Metallic Zadar Grey.
Connected technology
Range Rover Velar is the first to feature the next-generation Pivi Pro7 infotainment. It incorporates controls for all key vehicle functions within the new 11.4-inch curved glass touchscreen that appears as if it is floating.
Controls for the climate, seating and audio volume are always visible at each side of the screen via new sidebars, featuring multi-functional sliding controls.
Pivi Pro7 supports effortless smartphone connectivity with wireless Apple CarPlayTM2. Wireless Android Auto is also supported, while wireless device charging—from a new stowage area in the center console—provides immediate fast charging and reduces the need for wires.
Immersive sound
The cosseting cabin of the Range Rover Velar minimizes road noise with pioneering Active Road Noise Cancellation technology8, ensuring the quietest vehicle in its class for road noise.
This technology senses external frequencies and automatically processes an anti-noise through the vehicle’s audio system, reducing overall interior noise levels by a minimum of 4dB—the equivalent of turning the volume down by four steps.
A range of powerful Meridian audio systems for Range Rover Velar is led by the optional MeridianTM 3D Surround Sound System, which delivers high-fidelity music playback using up to 17 speakers and 750W of amplifier power for an immersive listening experience.
The Range Rover Velar is now available in the Philippines. Prices start at P6.690 million. Configure your Velar here.
