PETALING JAYA: Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia has just rolled out the 3.0L R-Dynamic variant of the Range Rover Velar, which is being pitched as a vehicle for those looking for more power in a luxurious mid-sized SUV.
Priced at RM722,787, this variant is now available at all showrooms nationwide.
The P380 supercharged V6 petrol engine enables the all-wheel drive Velar to sprint from 0 to 100kph in 5.7s before reaching an electronically limited top speed of 250kph. The 3.0-litre engine, mated to an 9-speed automatic, produces 376hp and 450Nm of torque.
The exhaust note has been enhanced to produce a deep powerful note to match the refined cabin.
The Velar cabin uses premium and luxury materials to reflect extravagance. The instrument panel’s strong, horizontal beam is the defining element of the Velar’s interior architecture while the slender air vents reinforce the Velar’s reductive, technology-enabled design. The seats are covered with perforated leather combined with Kvadrat’s (only available with the Premium Textile Interior Pack) luxurious fabric for an opulent plush.
Pioneering consumer technologies such as the flush deployable door handles and the Touch Pro Duo infotainment system are among the advanced features of the Velar. The Touch Pro Duo features two 10-inch high-definition touchscreens integrated seamlessly behind secret-until-lit surfaces.
The flush deployable door handles are a futuristic feature and deploy when the vehicle is unlocked and retract once the vehicle is locked. The door handle design contributes to the low drag coefficient of 0.32.
The Matrix LED headlights, one of the most slender headlights to appear on a Land Rover vehicle. These boldly designed headlights produce a quality of light close to daylight, giving excellent illumination and reducing eye fatigue.
The Velar’s body is built with aluminium-intensive monocoque using Jaguar Land Rover’s Lightweight Aluminium Architecture. Aluminium alloys account for more than 81 percent of the body-in-white – a figure no competitor can match. Its light, stiff, aluminium-intensive body, together with double-wishbone front and Integral Link rear suspension provides the basis for agile handling, ride comfort and refinement.
Safety features includes six airbags and a suite of technology advanced driver assistance system such as Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Emergency Braking system.
The 3.0L Velar features a sophisticated all-wheel drive system, four-corner air suspension, class-leading ground clearance of 251mm, class-leading wading depth of 650mm. The air suspension’s ride height drops by 10mm when cruising at speeds above 105kph to reduce aerodynamic drag and improve fuel efficiency.
All Land Rover vehicles distributed by authorised dealers also come with the Land Rover Care programme which includes a five-year warranty, five-year free service and three-year roadside assistance.
