Still, the devils are beautiful turned out to be a car. Especially in this version of R-Dynamic: red, with black roof and black decor elements. Aggressive, bold, Elegant, Impostegin ... Not in vain English Design consider style standard. In general, if you need originality and extravagance - Welcome to Sunny Italy, thoroughness - to Germany, but if you dream about elegance, combined with practicality, some conservatism - with uniqueness, and simplicity - with attractiveness, then without an English style, just in no way. And it's not by chance that for the premiere of Velar, the halls of the London Museum of Design were chosen.
Everywhere wedge
With generally speaking, what the impression was made on me Range Rover. Velar, I wrote after the first (and very short) meeting with this car, which took place in November from the years ago. So I do not want to repeat and write again about the size, and by price the car ranked position between Range Rover Sport and Evoque. The outlines and proportions relate to it: they are also talking about the wedge-shaped glass of glazing, and reduced to narrow horizontal grooves "Zhabra" on the front wings, and the circumferential effect of the "harnessing roof". At the same time, Velar is close enough to the Range Rover Sport in dimensions, and although it is undoubtedly a little less than an elder brother, it is realistic at first glance only a significant body height is noticeable.
All three models are combined, for example, common style solutions in the design of lighting equipment: and the front, and the rear light blocks are elongated in the horizontal direction and are equipped with peculiar "nose", suitable on the side surfaces of the wings. By the way, all configurations and velary versions are equipped with headlights with LED sources, but as an option, matrix-laser headlights are provided. They are not just poured by light space in front of the car 550 meters (at least this is exactly what official documents claim), but also know how to create a "shadow bag" around the counter cars - that is, you can go with far Light And do not be afraid to blind other participants in the movement.

Attention in details
Speaking about the appearance of VELAR, it is impossible not to note that the attention with which British designers and designers engaged in the study of individual details. Here to take at least an aerodynamic visor over the fifth door. It not only visually lengthens the roof and makes the silhouette rapid and completed, but also provided with peculiar diffusers, allowing to reduce the feed rate and the contamination of the rear window.

Curb weight
But the most noticeable feature of VELAR, of course, are door handles that are cleaned flush with the surface. On the one hand - and effectively, and, oddly enough, convenient. The grip is quite natural, it is not necessary to turn the brush ... But the question of how all this magnificence will work in our conditions, still remains. The company claims that the mechanism of extending the handles is able to break the ice with a thickness of several millimeters. Excellent, but it concerns the nondes covering the car outside. But what happens if, say, you will wash the car (the handles during the sink remain nominated, because to draw them into the body, you need to put the car to protect them, and the washers, you yourself understand, you need to wipe the festers, and the end parts of the doors) , water under pressure will penetrate inside the mechanisms, and frost is born at night twenty? Glasses to seals After such procedures, I have quite regularly, and with the need to replace the fuses that protect the motor windows from the brave, I came across repeatedly.
Be that as it may, in the year, we learn, all these fears were in vain, or really nominating handles are not very suitable for Russian conditions. In the meantime, it remains to pull the handle for this very helpful, and engage in accessing the interior ...
And the influx does not interfere

As a matter of fact, from a car that is named Range Rover, you expect comfort and noble restrained luxury, and since this is Velar, which has repeatedly called the highest-tech model from the entire family, it will be a luxury in the style of High-tech. Well, what can I say: so it's all and there is ... from those samples on which I rode in the fall on the landfill, Velar R-Dynamic was distinguished by a sports type steering wheel with influx. I don't really like these very glances, especially if they supply the steering wheel of a serious SUV, but you have to admit that in this case they are quite appropriate. And in general, all my concerns turned out to be in vain: the metal strip on the steering wheel, which gives the "Baranca" a special elegance, does not interfere with no grip, neither by high-speed driving. The spectacular blocks of keys with capacitive control never worked with random touch without mine.

Well, and then it's time to "customize the costume according to the figure," and here I ran into unexpected problems. Quite unexpectedly, for me, a car price about 6.2 million rubles turned out to be deprived by some options. For example, the position of the steering column (which, naturally, is adjustable and on the corner, and by departure) is adjusted manually, without servo drives. The way of blocking changes was unexpectedly: you're looking for a folding lever at the bottom of the habit, and the column will stop the rotating handle on the right side, where many stamps have a ignition lock. I can not say that it is uncomfortable, just somehow unusual ...
Hat take off!
Going on. I'm used to that in cars Land Rover. You are waiting for either a classic "commander", or slightly understated, "Semi-Comandar" landing. But VELAR seems to be designed for the fact that the driver will sit low as in light car. However, if we lower the seat down as it is provided, then problems with visibility begins, (at least, I have exactly started, despite the growth of 182 cm), and in general I used to sit higher and with a fairly vertical position of the back.
Okay, raising the seat until the stop is up. The visibility forward became better (although the hood still overlaps a large space in front of the machine, 5-6 meters, and if you lower the chair down - then meters 10-15). But the visibility ago was not ahti: when the driver's position "head supports the ceiling", the falling line of the roof turns the rear window into a narrow embrasure, into which only pieces of windshields of the windy windows are visible. Side mirrors Also less than those who are used to "big" Range Rover and Discovery. Yes, there is a "all-seeing eye" in the form of a circular video reclusive system, and in good dry weather it helps a lot when playing on parking. But it is worth drivening around the Moscow streets after the snowfall and processing with antifungal reagents, like the "all-seeing eye" strikes Cataract, and you have to act across the old man, looking into the mirror and listening to parking sensor signals.
And then there were still other problems: sitting in the car, I began to stably cling to the head for the top of the doorway, and the cap from me was knocked in 8 cases out of 10. Again, in a long way the question arises about where to put the left elbow. And here there are two options: "Window Sill" and a special armrest. Even with my landing ("Seat to Stop Up") the windowsill is located too high, and the elbow is up. And the armrest on the door it turns out too low ...
What about the loin?
Or here to take the chairs. On the one hand, everything is fine: a good profile, beautiful soft skin (while the inner part of the side support rollers are made of non-slip suede, and this is really a very successful solution), and developed side support is present. But after a couple of hours behind the wheel, I felt that I would like to enhance the lumbar backup. I climbed to look for a key of his adjustment - and there is no, and there is no adjustment. That is, it is theoretically eating, but only in a higher HSE configuration, which would have happened almost not at 6,200,000, and 6,900,000. And it turns out strange: on my modest Freelander 2 SE, and with diesel and not in the most expensive configuration, the adjustment of the lumbar back is, and in the expensive VELAR with the most powerful engine And the claims for sportiness - no. Luxurious a roof with a panoramic view With a huge hatch - there is an excellent Meridian media system with rich, deep and high-quality sound - there is, but there is no adjustment of the lumbar back - no!
And I also expected that in the car, more than 6 million will be more comfortable for the rear passengers. In the test car there was a two-zone climate control, and the rear passengers are only a 12-volt socket for the adapter. At the same time, there are four-zone climate control on the list of options, and an extended set of charging slots, and an entertainment system for the rear passengers ... But it's all - options, and not cheap. Four-band climatic installation It would add to the price of 61,200 rubles, the multimedia system for passengers of a second row with 8-inch screens - 198,700 rubles, and the charging station with a 12-volt nest and two USB slots - 14,300 rubles.

Volume of trunk
And calm - better
But for what I would definitely have done it - it is on the dividing grid (11,200 rubles) and the set of guide-separators (16,500 rubles). Because when you press the appropriate button, and the chaser servo will open the door to the trunk in front of you, then in front of you there will be a sort of laz in the cave. Yes, Velar's trunk has a huge and very deep (and this is a plus), but to learn from its subsoil the packages from the supermarket with a sharp braking of the supermarket. And they will definitely disappear, because under the hood of our Velar, there is the most powerful one of the very wide range of engines 380-strong three-liter V6, and until hundreds of the machine "shoots" in just 5.7 seconds.
And yet, on the move VELAR left some controversial feeling. Yes, it is quite dynamic. But even for such a charged version, it is more natural not an aggressive-sports manner driving, but much more calm. After all, this is Range Rover, and although these cars have always been famous for the ability to "and fly, and crawl", the main landmark for their development has long been the comfort of the driver and passengers. It may, that is why it seemed to me that despite all the external aggressiveness and name R-Dynamic modes Auto, Comfort or even ECOs turned out to do this car more organic than sports. In sports mode, everything happens too sharp: the engine is gasoline, and acceleration is accompanied by resetting gear down. The suspension is also more designed for comfort, because you feel great, as when you press the gas, the car leaves on the rear wheels, with sharp braking, solid clips are felt, and solid rolls are observed in the turns. This is understandable for the moves of the suspension and the smoothness of its work. In any case, when we came to the skiing, golf and polo club "Kaleevo" on the photo, Vlar, without any problems and went down, and rose to a fairly steep ski slope.
In general, choosing VELAR, personally, I would still prefer the diesel, because when moving in the stream, all these temporary and relatively small accelerations and deceleration would have happened more smoothly, although quite vigorously. After all, if you are Range Rover name, then fussing on the road somehow even indecent ...
The main thing is to control
In any case, it is very good that test car It was equipped with a projection display that allows you to control the speed, without opening the view from the road, speed limiter and active cruise control, perfectly working even in the city. Because if not all this - I don't even know how many "letters of happiness" would have to pay for me. VELAR refers to the number of cars in which the speed is practically not felt ... Well, for those who believe that fast driving - It is not just a way for as soon as possible to get from the point "A" to the point "b", and what fills life with the meaning, on the lower touch display there is a pictogram with an image of a racing helmet. You click on it (while the Terrain Response system must be in a dynamic mode), and you see acceleration. Fortunately, staring at this cartoon at a time when you need to strive to grab the steering wheel and carefully follow the track, it is not necessary: \u200b\u200bthe data for some time is written, and they can be analyzed after arrival. But how much it needs a "civilian" driver - a big question ...

Preface.
"Friendly get ready, after the test drive will be depression. It will be hard to fall from him" - with these words I passed this car for a test drive my friend. Two days with the new Range Rover Velar.
New or slightly new?
Land Rover presented its new model claiming that this particular car will become the legislator of fashion in the world of the automotive industry. A model that is not similar to other models, a model that is distinguished from the crowd. All this, the new Range Rover Velar.
The form.
"White, very white, hot such." Getting on the test drive white color car, I have already immediately configured that I will not be delighted with him. I do not like white cars, so this one expected with mild bias, but seeing his "live", I realized that I was very mistaken. White velock with black items looks very stylish, rough and solid. The front grill, the hood and bumper emphasize his style, and the front headlights "cut" eyes with their eyes. Driving on it, I constantly felt the sights of others, and the owners of expensive cars.
Inside.
Opening a heavy door (I love heavy doors, especially with my Range Rover Sport 2-generation), comfortably cropped, 3 things rush right away. First. No, these are not two monitors that everyone says. This steering wheel. The most beautiful steering wheel that I have ever seen. He is just so beautiful and elegant that they are afraid to touch him with "unwashed hands." Second this is two touch monitor. We have already seen hundreds of video on YouTube, I will say one thing - they really fit well into the concept of the interior design. Convenient, elegant, modern. Of course, it will be necessary to get used to some chips, but new technologies are forced to change their stereotypes and habits. Third. Denim salon. In the model on the test drive, the salon "Leather", but in the salon I was sitting in the "denim" salon and would definitely take him to myself. He is very suitable there.
About technologies.
Here you can still characterize in one word - ultra-modern. Pneumatic suspension as always on top, it is true only in the configuration with 3.0 lithing motor", on the road help to drive a large number of chips, for which I usually do not even pay attention. I am from those people who do not surprise automatic control, the definition of the traffic strip, I only respect the signal showing the overtaking. If you have Apple Watch, and I gave them my daughter, then with their help you can start the car, turn off or just open / close. Convenient? Conveniently. But you can't go anyway, after all, who will go on such a car without additional satellite alarm, which means that it means that Tablet must be worn with you in your pocket.
About engines.
By ordering the car there is an opportunity to choose from 2 and 3 liter gasoline or diesel engine. I would not even look at the 2-liter, but only on a 3-liter diesel, I personally, it is ideal for me in the ratio of price-convenience. 300 horses run quickly and easily managed.
What's wrong?
In any car you can find what I like, and what is not. In this car it is difficult to complain about. Personally, I have a little bit of place behind, but it is me, since my height is 1.95m. Do not forget that not everyone will easily get used to new technologies. I am an iPhone, so I have already got used to some inconveniences and restrictions in counterweight to the design of the iPhone, and here will have to. When you start the car, you need to wait about 20 seconds until two monitors work fully and only then you can enable the functions of the air conditioner or heating you need. To this you need to get used to it.
The price of the question!
Prices begin with 3.9 million rubles and end in the limit of your wishes in the region of 7.2 million. At the time of test drive, dealers were issued to the first buyer a special first edition version for 7 million. Really steep cars. But is it necessary? If you are a football player's wife, then most likely yes. :)
Yourself?
Someone likes a square house, someone is classic, and someone is futuristic. Land Rover Velar A car about which I really thought. Here is just one problem, when choosing your Range Rover Sport of the 2nd generation and new Velar, I choose the sport. :)

The city crossover Jeep Compass appeared on the global transport market in 2016.
Despite the fact that the sales of the crossover occur worldwide, manufacturers notice a serious decline in sales. That is why in order to draw attention to automotive company And the crossover, it was decided to submit it to the updated version, the main feature which will be the presence of two additional places for passengers.
According to preliminary data, the new three-row crossover is planned to be launched in production already in 2020. Despite the fact that the base for creating the machine will be Jeep Compass, the updated crossover will receive the name of Grand Compass. Moreover, it is possible that the new crossover will differ from the previous one not only an enlarged wheel base, but also a new, more sporty design.
The production of the new crossover is planning to establish in India. It is worth noting that the Jeep COMPASS five-seater crossover uses good demand in this country. So, at the end of last year, there were more than 18,287 new owners.
In 2019, the sales of the car sharply decreased at once by 36%, which, of course, was disturbed by manufacturers for which the Indian market was one of the most promising.
Everything is not stopped talking about the electric car future. In particular, this topic concerns automakers, which in recent years are concerned about the task to fit all their transport under environmental standards. Many are already called the dates when all of humanity refuses to use gasoline and diesel engines.
Full failure. Currently, it is absolutely not clear when the day comes when cars with diesel and gasoline engines are awesome in the fly. Each country calls his year. For example, Ireland joined the most categorical countries, according to the government of the country, 2030 will become the last when motorists will be able to use cars with engines internal combustion On the territory of the country.
"Green Course". In Los Angeles, the problem of pollution ambient It is solved radically. The most first extermination will be public transportIt will be completely electrically m. Already by 2025, 25 percent of the total number of all cars will be electric. And already in 2050, electric cars will be exclusively on the roads.
In Great Britain Also already in 2040, the sale of cars with gasoline and diesel engines will be prohibited. Accordingly, after 10 years already, that is, by 2050, all electric cars will also be in the country.
In Scotland An active extermination of cars with gasoline and diesel engines will be engaged in 2032. Motorists will be allowed to ride exclusively on electric vehicles, as well as on hybrids (PHEV).
Government Amsterdama Nearby, as well as begins to dictate its strict rules. Already since 2030, motorcycles and motor collers can not be seen on the roads, as well as cars, in the subcontrol space of which are gasoline, or diesel units. From 2025 all

The trends of the world market make manufacturers search for ideal models for a successful sale, now the Range Rover brand line has replenished with a new luxury SUV named VELAR name, which ranked his niche between Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery. Sport. The presentation took place at the Geneva Motor Show 2017.
APPEARANCE
The design of the novelty is made in some minimalistic style. However, the branded grille of the radiator, the Matrix-Laser LED head optics, the gills on the hood and 18-21 inch wheels give a spectacular view from the share of sports aggression. Behind we see lush molds, lights with 3D graphics and a powerful bumper, which includes large trapezings of exhaust pipes. VELAR resistance ratio of only 0.32 Cx This is a record among all Range Rover models, this is achieved in several ways: the maximum smooth bottom, which is retaining at the speed of 8 km / h Door handles, smooth lines of the body, as well as disted front racks. It is worth noting the "tricky" spoiler, thanks to which dust and dirt do not fall on the rear window, but simply blown away with air flow.
INTERIOR
An interesting paradox takes place in the interior of Velar: a visual salon looks simple, however, he stuffed with a number of technological novelties. It was achieved due to the fact that physically controlled buttons were replaced with sensors, screens and virtual washers. Even in the steering wheel there are sensory touchpads, and dashboard It has Interactive Driver with a 12.3-inch full-color screen, some parameters are projected on windshield. The center is located the Touch Pro Duo system, which includes a 10-inch touch screen, changing the angle of inclination and responsible for the multimedia system. Below is its static "fellow", managing 4-zone climate control and the settings of the TERRAIN RESPONSE off-road program. In the interior decoration, we see: Windsor's skin, Expensive Premium Textile fabric from Kvadrat and decorative stainless steel inserts. The front seats have pronounced anatomical dressing and lateral support, you can install ventilation and massage function. Rear passengers will receive comfortable places with heating, ventilation and USB connectors.
Motors
In the fact that our SUV is not to doubt, because Range Rover Velar is able to easily move on difficult places, thanks to its clearance and full drive. According to the manufacturer, the car is able to even tow the trailer with a full weight of up to 2500 kg. The novelty will come to the market with three diesel and two gasoline engines. A 8-speed automaton from ZF will work as a pair.
Start sales of Vella.
The start of sales of the new Range Rover Velar in America, China and Europe will have to go for the summer of this year at a price of 49900 to 89300 dollars in North America and from 56400 to 108700 euros (version of Velar First Edition) in the European market, and Russia will get to Russia and will get closer to the fall of 2017.

Icebreaker. Test Drive Range Rover Velar.
Range Rover Velar looks more like a bold concept, and not on the serial car: a low body without traditional door handles, touch displays instead of a push-button control and giant wheels
Velar - derived from Latin "hide". This name must confuse journalists and all those who could see the prototype of the very first Range Rover during testing: the innovative car was trying to classify. After half a century, Velar confuses again. The crossover carrying this name is more like a brave concept that has just left the podium of one of the major motor shows: a low body without traditional door handles, sensory displays instead of a push-button control and giant wheels. Nevertheless, he serial and will soon reach Russia.
The new Velar is similar to all "Ranj Rovers" immediately. The massive radiator grille and the rolled rear bumper resemble the flagship SUV, the "bird" on the sidewall and quadrangular exhaust pipes - about small evoque. The lanterns are connected by a jumper as on Range Rover Sport.
The length of VELAR close to "sport": it is shorter than just 47 mm, but at the same time height is slightly higher Evoque (1665 millimeters). Wheel base in 2874 mm - Tip, because exactly the same distance between the Jaguar F-Pace axes. VELAR is built on the same aluminum platform and is equipped with the same all-wheel drive transmission with a plug-in front axle. Velar is larger than F-PACE primarily at the expense of the rear sink and at the expense of it is more specific. The volume of the trunk is one of the largest in class - 637 liters against 508 liters of Jaguar. Places in the back row are not so much so as not to threaten the existence of Range Rover Sport.
With the advent of Jaguar F-Pace, the second brand of the united company turned out to be unleashed. If you can make the most off-road and practical "jaguar", then why not instill "Ranju" sports genes? Range Rover already has a Sport model, and in the extreme version of SVR, it easily leaves five seconds. However, the aluminum giant weighs more than two tons and for rapid movement it requires voracious compressor "eights".
If the elder brother is completely aluminum, then the share of light alloys in the body of Vlar is 81%, in particular, he has steel doors. At the same time, the difference in weight in machines with the same gasoline engines V6 and reaches 260 kilograms. The six-cylinder Velar is also more powerful - 380 hp, and all together it gives a two-year-round advantage in acceleration to 100 km per hour. In order for Range Rover Sport to go faster, it needs a five-liter compressor V8, with which the mass and consumption are significantly increased.
For the first time when creating a car Range Rover brand so much attention was given aerodynamics. The characteristic body with a long rear breath and a descending line of the roof as sharpened as much as possible and made more squat. For the sake of streamliness, even from door handles - they are made by retractable. The coefficient turned out aerodynamic resistance 0.32-0.36 - For comparison, RR Sport, depending on the model is 0.34-0.37. In theory it was possible to achieve better results, not sacrificing handles, but stylists made against them.
Velar Design Specialist James Watkins believes that smooth Boca gave a crossover similarity to the expensive yacht. In addition, the retractable handles are forced to remember the supercars and high-tech "tesche". And that is funny, do not contradict the DNA of the brand: the very first Land Rover, resembling the tractor rather, and not the car, was also deprived of the outer door handles.
Victorious "blades", as in Jaguar F-Type, engineers preferred a more complex P-shaped design. According to Watkins, the passenger must feel the impressiveness of the handle - it's still a crossover. The knobs are extended when unlocking doors from the key or buttons on the door, and hide automatically when the car picks up. They are not afraid of sand and dirt, and with ease of Russian atomic submarines, a thick layer of ice is prolamed.
In any case, it was on the official video. The declared thickness of the nondes is 4 mm, but the electric motors are quite powerful, and no matter how you give it to the handle outside, it will still be pulled out. When the car is closed, the handle does not bite his fingers. In this I was convinced of my own experience: having met an obstacle, she just won't hide inside the door.
Retractable door handles trams safe. They are not afraid of dirt, sand and capable of breaking the resulting froth.
The interior is deprived of the details and because it enhances the impression of the concept: the front panel with the architecture characteristic of the Range Rover models glitches the black gloss of the displaced displays. Physical buttons and handles on it are the minimum - the control is mostly sensory. It is worth finding an inconspicuous engine start button - it is real - and the panel comes to the multi-colored violence of characters. She has a strong slope, because of which it takes to the air ducts, and the multimedia display is advanced.
Range Rover is not surprised by the Range Rover digital tidy - on the British brand cars drawn dials have appeared long ago. Over the past years, it was possible to pull the multimedia system to a modern level. Giant touchscreen display in the entire central console - a gift from the future.
And the future of humane: one of the preserved physical handles adjusts the audio volume of the audio system. Maybe not as high tech, but to the highest degree conveniently in comparison with the touch key on the steering wheel, which is constantly taking up. The purpose of two more twist depends on one of the selected screens. They adjust the temperature, the intensity of heating seats. In the off-road menu, the left switches the running modes, and the right is again responsible for climate and heating.
For a car of this level in the salon a bit of hard plastic, but in general the interior looks expensive, highly technologically, and besides well isolated from noise. And with the upholstery fabric of the Danish company KVADRAT becomes very cozy.
The front panel has a strong slope, so the air ducts are arranged and need to reach them.
Touch, shooting laser Farams Velar should if not fly, then at least moving around on a silent electric car. But under the hood sings a gasoline three-liter engine with a drive supercharger. And it causes nostalgia as Frank Sinatra on Radio "Golden Hits 60s". Compressor motors at the time to enter the Red Book is similar to the Amur tigers, and it will be so sorry if they die.
Three-liter V6 with a capacity of 380 hp Gradually increases the thrust and goes to the peak 450 nm after the tachometer arrow turns out to be exactly in the middle between the numbers 3 and 4. Velar squats on the rear axle, like a motor boat or large SUVs Range Rover, and with increasing speed pressed against the ground. From the spot it exchanges "hundred" in 5.7 seconds. This is still a maximum possible, but hardly JLR will stop at this: there are even more prompt competitors on the market. In any case, this is a very fast crossover, especially in Norwegian roads, where the maximum allowed is 80 km / h, and more often there are signs "50" and "60". It is necessary to let go of the tight gas pedal, as VELAR grinds rushes to break.
In the next turn of the serpentine "Trolli Staircase", we donate from the motorcyclist asphalt rolling on the wet asphalt, then we go in the old universal Volvo. - He boiled, overcoming the middle of the rise. After stuck in the tourist minibus. Not exactly what she had dreamed earlier. At the same time, in Norway with its rare traffic, there is where to try out handling.
The sporty character of the new crossover is felt immediately: when landing lacks the pillow adjustment and want to sit down even lower. The steering wheel of "Velara" is a bit artificial, but at the same time. Drive on a large car on winding tracks, where two cars will run out with difficulty, one pleasure. It is a pity that the tires begin to slide early and in general are noisy - there would be a more road version.
With the most powerful current compressor gasoline engine (380 hp) VELAR accelerates to 100 km / h in 5.7 seconds.
The AUTO mode is successfully fighting with rolls and vibrations from huge 22-inch wheels. It is enough to go to the sports mode, like VELAR immediately becomes tough and begins to mark imperceptible defects. And in a comfortable suspension, it blooms and pins with a jitter of unsophisticated masses. The diesel machine with wheels on an inch should be more comfortable, but in fact it is not so unequivocal, as a gasoline: the steering wheel is not enough informativeness, and the suspension pouches the star. Such Velar takes a powerful burden - diesel 700 nm available at 1500 revolutions. With such an argument, you do not notice slow down responses to GAZ and some motor intrainance and 8-speed transmission. Diesel three-liter velar teleports passengers to a speed of 100 km / h in just 6.5 seconds.
Even the most road and sports range rover should be able to climb - this skill is still the subject of pride of the British company. It would seem pressed to the Earth and deprived of the reduced transfer VELAR - not a fighter on off-road. Pneumatic resistant allow you to increase ground clearance From 205 to 251 mm, and sly off-road programs - confidently ride in the sand, dirt, stones and not afraid of diagonal hanging.
Circular review cameras and large mirrors are healthy in maneuvering. But not everything managed to "velara" in difficult areas perfect. In the off-road position, the suspension practically chooses moves and becomes completely tough - there would be a smaller diameter wheels and a tire with a higher profile. "AUTOMA" is a lover of switching transmission on a tense gravel lift, which is why it is necessary to translate it into the gym.
Test Drive Range Rover Velar ➤ We are sitting behind the wheel of a new "seductive" Renge Rover Vellar, and it turns out to be very capable of both on the roads of common use and off-road
Everything, why concerns Jaguar Land Rover - "turns into gold." But with such award-winning success and growth of sales, it is very difficult to constantly expect success and growth from each new launch of a new model. So can the new Range Rover Velar prove that the company still has a magic wand?
Model range VELAR place between the Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Sport model. Thin LED head optics and rear lights that wrap further on the sides of the car, more inclined grille and retractable handles of doors that are hiding the flush - update appearance Family Range Rover.
This is a clean and unlocked style with fine detail, such as a folding line, which comes from the front light to the rear through the elongated side ventilation holes. The car has a minimalist design and minimalist architecture.
Land Rover calls it "reductionism", and it is even clearer in what is one of the most amazing interiors that we have ever seen. The traditional clean horizontal feature intersects the central section coming from the central console, up to a completely new information and entertainment system TOUCH PRO DUO.
These double 10-inch touch screens are both art and genius. When they are turned off, they hide the black panels, adding a minimalist interior. But when the car is turned on, the panels come to life with bright high-definition displays, and the upper block turns forward to 30 degrees to welcome you.
At the bottom of the lower screen, two large disks are built-in with their LED displays and the central volume knob. The lower monitor controls heating and ventilation, as well as an improved area of \u200b\u200bthe terrain, and two dials work with any setting. Navigation, telephone and audio systems will be operated on the top screen, while both screens are easy to use, rolling from one control to another.
Touch screens are not only beautiful and stylish, but the work of Land Rover in ensuring that they are suitable for use, also paid off. This is really an intuitive system that is easily connected to your smartphone. There is a car access point Wi-Fi, and the car learns about your routes and offers options to avoid traffic jams or help find parking space. There are three Meridian stereos to choose from.
But not all the news is good, because Land Rover (and Jaguar) can still help if you want to use Apple CarPlay or Android AUTO. In this regard, the company is clearly lagging behind its competitors.
It also concerns autonomous technologies. Undoubtedly, Renge Rover Vellar has adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, Assistance System for Movement, Autma Parking and Recognition road sign. But, for example, the Volvo XC60 has fewer features for automatic drivingBut at the same time it is still one of the safest. This car also offers a beautifully built body, a stylish interior and easy-to-use touch screen - but it is all much cheaper costs and is a budget, if we are talking about the cost when buying and maintenance.
On the question of the fact that the price range begins with 44,830 pounds for the basic model VELAR with diesel engine With four cylinders with a capacity of 178 hp It is quite reasonable staffed, but if your dealer does not drive you to approach the model S for 50.420 pounds with large wheels, leather seats, the sound system Meridian and navigation, they do not work.
SE is even more expensive than 3,390 pound sterling, while HSE adds another 6,500 pounds of sterling for luxury luxury - if you do not buy a FIRST EDITION model. If you want to look more sporty, R-Dynamic will cost you another 2,420 pounds more expensive.
Other engines include two more diesel engines: 2.0-liter with 234 hp, as well as 296 hp - 3.0 V6. There are three versions gasoline engines: 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 3.0-liter V6 volume of 247 hp (Again and from 296 hp) or 3.0-liter flagship V6 with a supervision of 375 hp
We suspect that diesel 234 hp in the SE version may well be optimal option Assortment, but now we test 3.0-liter diesel in the R-Dynamic HSE specification, the cost of which is 70,530 pound sterling. It is beautiful and well equipped, but not cheap.
Our test route in Norway was deprived of highways, so we will have to wait and see how Vlar behaves on high-speed roads In the cruise mode, but it seems that it is an excellent sophisticated car. Find out that this is a Diesel V6 under the hood, you can only when you are very accelerated. On large wheels and tires, you will notice some road noise, although it mainly depends on the silence of the engine and low level Wind noise that provides excellent noise insulation.
For a car weighing two tons, the performance is excellent. Almighty push at 700 nm of torque makes, which generates a diesel more fascinating than the one that produces a gasoline model with a superpatch. Reaction throttle valve Also good.
Range Rover Velar is built on the same chassis as Jaguar F-Pace, but our car is equipped with an additional pneumatic suspension. Vellar still feels pretty confident, but with contempt throws off blows and holes. The steering is quite informative, but with a slightly sluggish approach.
As expected, with the Terrain Response settings, this car is much better cope with off-road than the overwhelming majority of the owners will cope with a multitude of advanced diverting systems, which are installed on modern crossovers.
VELAR measures the length of 4.803 mm and is a bit longer the F-PACE, and the wheelbase is 2.874 mm identical. 632-liter Range Rover Rover Rover is slightly inferior to 650 liters of jaguar, but the inner quality of the novice is a big step forward.
Given the huge prices, we were disappointed with space for passengers in the rear of Velara. If the driver is high enough to push the seat far, then the rosal passenger for the driver will not sit very comfortable - the knees will rest in the back of the seat. In fact, it is not much better than in some new compact crossovers. We expected more.
2017 Range Rover Velar - Conclusion
It is not surprising that you will wait for more than three months if you order Range Rover Velar now is one of the most desirable SUVs that you can buy. It is modern, super-stylish and pares you with an impressive level of comfort and refinement - and also there are all the same capabilities of the SUVs that you will find on Land Rover Discovery. However, it is not so cheap, and many rivals offer more advanced technologies and more space for passengers. Despite this, we have no doubt that Velar will become another mass hit for Jaguar Land Rover.
