Choose your terrain.




The new Range Rover Velar can be programmed to tackle all conditions from mud and ruts to snow and gravel via a 10-inch dashboard touch screen.


This Terrain Response system gives you a choice of Eco, Comfort, Grass-Gravel-Snow, Mud-Ruts, Sand, and (on R-Dynamic models) Dynamic mode.


Just touch the one you want, and away you go.


The more advanced Terrain Response 2 version even chooses the best setting automatically, and changes it as the terrain changes.


I could also set a ‘crawl’ speed of between 2.2mph and 18mph off-road. The clever tech also allowed me to - via a simple touch of the screen - to control the rate of ascent and descent.

The Velar’s intelligent 4X4 system allows to balance gingerly on two wheels and stay grounded when tackling some very tilting angles.

For those with an active life-style, it’ll pull up to 2,500kg including a boat, and it has a ‘tow assist’ for helping park trailers with ease.

It also has room on top for a canoe and will carry bikes on a rear rack.

An ‘activity key’ on a shockproof and waterproof wristband-transponder allows access to the vehicle without you having to carry key fob while swimming or sailing.

For crossing streams and climbing out onto rock at the other side there’s a wading depth of up to 650mm.



The vehicle is designed to cope with all sorts of conditions.

This is one of the original Range Rover prototypes dubbed the Velar which was used as a development and later press model.



When Land Rover began the process of creating their luxury off roader in the late 1960s, it was done in absolute secrecy.

The Range Rover brand did not exist, and four-wheel drive vehicles were for agricultural and industrial purposes.

In an effort to disguise its new plan, Land Rover tested its new vehicle in the deserts of north Africa to avoid industry spies.

Because all we do is go to work/office, club, church, market and back home.

Adventure is not part of us here, but is their way.

Like what the man said, we dont test and push these cars to their limit.'
