2025 Range Rover Velar SUV tends toward luxury | HeraldNet.com

Lynnwood, WALocal News

The 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Velar is a luxury SUV that emphasizes elegance and performance, moving away from the ruggedness typically associated with the brand. With a refined exterior and minimalist interior, it provides a serene driving experience appealing to a sophisticated audience. Available in four trim levels, starting with the P250 S at $71,875 and reaching the P400 Dynamic HSE at a higher price, the Velar offers two engine options: a 247-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder and a 395-horsepower mild hybrid inline-six. The advanced Pivi Pro infotainment system ensures modern connectivity for occupants. While capable on slippery roads and challenging terrains, it does not match the off-road capabilities of larger Range Rover models, making it particularly suitable for city dwellers seeking a stylish everyday vehicle.

With an EPA rating of 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, it offers reasonable fuel efficiency for its class.
