PERFORMANCE AND CAPABILITY

REFINED PERFORMANCE

The drive of the Range Rover Velar is supremely confident, connected and

effortlessly delivered thanks to a carefully engineered suite of technologies.

ALL WHEEL DRIVE WITH
INTELLIGENTDRIVELINE DYNAMICS

All Wheel Drive (AWD) with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD), fitted
as standard, delivers both outstanding on-road performance and the
full off-road capability expected of a Range Rover. Working together,
AWD with IDD continually optimize the engine torque distribution to the
front and rear wheels, and provides improved traction in a variety of road
andweather conditions*. Uniquely developed for the Range RoverVelar,
the durable transfer box uses an electro-mechanically ac tivated
multi-plate wet clutch to deliver smooth and precise distribution to
the front and rear wheels. This ensures the constant optimization is
imperceptible from the cabin and available engine torque is maximized
togive efficient vehicle traction.

IDD determines the required distribution by continually monitoring
the vehicle and its interaction with the road. Typically starting with
a50:50distribution to ensure enhanced controlled stability from the
firstvehicle movement, the system has the full capability of 100 percent
rear bias to 100 percent front bias should road conditions require it.
Predictive, as well as reactive, the system helps prevent losing traction
aswell as working to regain it*.

LOW TRACTION CONDITIONS

On slippery surfaces, such as wet grass and snow,
torque can be balanced between the front and rear
wheels to improve traction. In extreme conditions
where only the front wheels have traction, up to
100percent of engine torque can be distributed
tothe front wheels for enhanced grip*.

HIGH TRACTION CONDITIONS

On smooth, dry surfaces, Range Rover Velar
provides intelligent torque distribution to the
rear wheels for the most ef ficient drive as well as
delivering precise agility and handling*.

TORQUE VECTORING BY BRAKING

Torque Vectoring by Braking is designed to deliver
controlled, responsive cornering by reducing
near-limit understeer through controlled braking
ofthe inside wheels*.

ADAPTIVE DYNAMICS

The optional Adaptive Dynamics system1 delivers both precise
dynamics and a supple, luxurious ride by monitoring wheel position
and body movements. To do this, the system is designed to constantly
analyze acceleration, steering, throttle and brake pedal activity. The
electronically controlled dampers adjust to optimize the suspension
settings and provide optimum balance between comfort, refinement
and agility*.

CONFIGURABLE DYNAMICS

To enhance either refinement and comfort or the vehicle‘s performance,
the optional Configurable Dynamics function allows you to configure the
throttle mapping, gearbox shift points, steering settings and suspension
to suit your driving needs.

CAPABILITY

The first vehicle to combine luxury and refinement with
Land Rover-renowned capability, Range Rover continues
to beleading-edge. Range Rover Velar of fers new levels of
style, while its unique Land Rover technologies and optimized
geometry establish its off-road capability.

The Land Rover patented Hill Descent Control (HDC®) is
a standard feature. It is designed to assist the driver with
controlled descents of difficult slopes. It does so by helping
maintain a constant speed and applying braking separately to
each wheel. Hill Launch Assist, which also comes as standard,
is designed to help prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards
as it pulls away on an incline. The vehicle also utilizes Gradient
Release Control (GRC), which is also standard, and is designed
to prevent the vehicle accelerating too quickly on a steep
incline when the driver releases the brake*.

ELECTRONIC AIR SUSPENSION

A sure-footed, composed drive is completed by the latest
Electronic Air Suspension, which provides exceptional wheel
articulation and poise. It changes the vehicle‘s height quickly,
allowing cross-linking of the diagonal wheels to help keep
all fourwheels on the ground on most uneven surfaces.
Added to which, it makes loading heavy objects into the trunk
easier as you can alter the vehicle‘s height by +/- 2 inches
to suit your needs. These functions can be operated via the
10"Touchscreen or button2 in the cargo space area. The Speed
Lowering System also uses the Electronic Air Suspension at
cruising speeds by lowering the vehicle from normal ride-height
when the speed reaches65mph**.

ALL TERRAIN PROGRESS CONTROL

All Terrain Progress Control (ATPC) is a state-of-the-art optional
system that assists you in setting and maintaining a steady
speed in challenging conditions such as slippery surfaces,
including mud,wet grass, snow and dirt roads. Operating
likea cruise control system, it functions between 2.2 mph
and19mph, enabling you to maintain full concentration
onsteering and finding a path through obstacles*.

DYNAMIC HANDLING PACK

Land Rover has always been synonymous with off-road
capability. Whether tackling mud, wet grass, gravel, sand or
snow, our vehicles have a suite of technologies to help you
deal with the trickiest terrains with confidence. Theoptional
Dynamic Handling Pack features a truly comprehensive
selection. All Terrain Progress Control, TerrainResponse® 2,
