RANGE ROVER VELAR
The Range Rover lineup has evolved through time to become more fashionable, but the Velar’s introduction in 2018 served as the impetus to take the brand’s style to new heights. Many of the Velar’s new-wave aesthetic characteristics have been incorporated into its stablemates’ vehicles in the years after its launch, including the full-size Range Rover and the smaller Range Rover Evoque. The 2023 model, which is already in its sixth year of production, still resembles the original in many ways, which is fine. Both a 2.0-liter four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter inline-six engine with supercharging are turbocharged, and all-wheel drive is standard. Just don’t anticipate the Velar to be as engaging or refined on the road as the BMW X3, Genesis GV70, or Porsche Macan. This high-end SUV has an unmistakable presence on the road and a reputable premium nameplate. It’s more enjoyable to be inside than it is to drive.
What has changed for 2023?
For 2023, the Range Rover Velar will get a sportier-looking HST edition with unique 21-inch black wheels and an exclusive Arroios Grey paint colour option. The 395-hp version of the turbocharged and supercharged inline-six engine will be the only one available for the HST, which will sit at the top of the Velar’s grade ladder. Both a variable air suspension and an adaptive damper system are included as well.
