By THOMAS HUONG | 19 April 2018


PETALING JAYA: The Range Rover Velar luxury SUV (sport utility vehicle) has arrived in three petrol-powered variants, namely the 2.0-litre Velar P250 as well as a more generously kitted R-Dynamic variant, and the more powerful 3.0-litre Velar P380 (also in R-Dynamic kit).

The Velar is priced at RM529,800 (Velar P250) and RM588,800 (Velar R-Dynamic P250).

Prices are inclusive of 6% GST and excludes road tax, registration and insurance.

Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia is still firming up pricing for the Velar R-Dynamic P380 which has a all-aluminium 380ps/450Nm 3.0-litre supercharged V6 engine.

Both the Velar P250 variants are powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine with twin-scroll turbocharger, that develops 250ps at 5,550rpm and maximum torque of 365Nm from 1,200rpm to 4,500rpm.

The Velar P250 can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 6.7 seconds and return an impressive 7.6-litres per 100km.

All vehicles distributed by Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia are compatible with the Malaysian climate, environment, fuel quality and meet the Malaysian emission standard.

Land Rover vehicles distributed by authorised dealers also come with Land Rover Care programme which includes a five-year warranty, five years’ free service and three years’ roadside assistance.

The mid-size Velar is positioned between the Range Rover Evoque and Sport.

The Velar is available in eight exterior colours - Fuji White, Yulong White, Corris Grey, Santorini Black, Kaikoura Stone, Firenze Red, Silicon Silver and Carpathian Grey.

There are five interior colour options of Ebony/Ebony, Acorn, Vintage Tan/Ebony, Eclipse/Ebony and Light Oyster/Ebony.

The Velar also has unique flush deployable door handles, which deploy when the vehicle is unlocked and retract once the vehicle is locked.

These door handles contribute to the low drag coefficient of only 0.32, making it the most aerodynamically-efficient Land Rover ever produced.

Standard across all three Velar variants are a smooth-shifting ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, four-wheel drive, a Terrain Response system, Dynamic Stability Control, Hill Descent Control, Matrix LED headlights with Signature daytime running lights, automatic headlights, powered Gesture tailgate, 10-way powered seats, dual-zone climate control, six airbags, a tyre pressure monitoring system, push-start ignition, and a 825W Meridian Surround Sound system with 17 speakers and subwoofer.

Also standard is the Touch Pro Duo infotainment system which features two 10-inch high-definition touchscreens integrated seamlessly behind secret-until-lit surfaces.

The Velar P250 has 20-inch rims while both the R-Dynamic variants have 21-inch rims.

Meanwhile, a unique optional item is Kvadrat highly durable wool-blend premium textile contrasted with Suede cloth, for those who prefer this option over the perforated grained leather for the P250 variant or perforated leather with suede cloth (depending on interior colour choice) in both R-Dynamic variants.

Kvadart is Europe’s leading manufacturer of high-quality design textiles.

The use of Kvadart premium textile in the Velar is unique to luxury SUVs of this segment.
