2021 Land Rover Range Rover Velar review

1. Better, faster infotainment system 

The Pivi Pro system replaces the previous Duo system with a dual 10-inch screen experience, but it is faster and more responsive than its predecessor. The Pivi Pro is the same infotainment system found on other Land Rover models. It offers a new, more intuitive experience for adjusting the temperature controls, sound system, and other features.  

2. Captivating aerodynamic exterior body shape 

The 2021 Range Rover Velar R-Dynamic and Auric Edition models feature several new sleek body styling accents. Advanced aerodynamic features include adjustments to the rear spoiler and flush door handles. While the flowing exterior sculpting is sleek enough to turn heads on any city street or whatever off-road trails you decide to tackle.   

3. Driver-assist features galore 

There are several standard driver assist features in the base model 2021 Range Rover Velar including blind spot intervention and forward collision mitigation. Emergency braking, cruise control, and a speed limiter will help keep you on the straight and narrow. If you appear drowsy, the Velar will give you a warning for when it’s time to stop at a rest stop to recharge your batteries. There are now three optional driver assistance option packages available for parking, blind spot monitoring, and driving.  

4. Better LED illumination for night driving 

The 2021 Range Rover Velar’s exterior lighting is all LED as standard. Optional Matrix LED headlights adapt to your surroundings allowing you to light up the night without dazzling oncoming vehicles by refracting the light into vertical strips. Another option is for laser high-beam headlights, which deliver clear sight for 500 meters at speeds over 50 mph when no other lights are detected. Night driving will never be the same in your Velar.  

5. Surefooted traction and stability, on and off the road 

There are many standard features to keep you in total control of the 2021 Range Rover Velar, whether you are on the highway, tackling a twisty mountain road, or hitting off-road trails. Dynamic stability control intervenes by reducing torque and strategically applying brakes to correct the vehicle’s direction of travel as needed. Electronic traction control manages wheel spin, reduces torque, and applies the brakes as needed. You seem like a great driver by the way you are navigating with your mouse, but electronic driver assistance can be very useful in unfamiliar terrain.
