PERFORMANCE AND CAPABILITY 13

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 activated 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*.

*These systems are not a substitute for driving safely with due care and attention and will not function under all circumstances, speeds, weather and road conditions, etc. Driver should not assume that these systems will correct errors of judgment in driving. Please consult the owner’s manual or your local authorized Land Rover Retailer for more details.

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 efficient 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 offers 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 SUSPENSION1

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, Adaptive Dynamics, Configurable Dynamics and Electronic Air Suspension1 are all included*. No matter where you drive, composure is customary.

ACTIVE REAR LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL

The Active Rear Locking Differential*2 3 is designed to enhance traction in various weather conditions.

A typical open differential transfers equal torque to the driven wheels, meaning that if one wheel slips then torque transfer to the other wheel is also limited, which reduces traction. Whereas the Range Rover Velar All Wheel Drive (AWD) with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD)3 and Electronic Traction Control (ETC)3, both fitted as standard, go two steps further by distributing torque to both the front and the rear wheels, and by braking the wheels independently to improve
