The test variant (SE) did not have air suspension as that is only standard in the 6cyl diesel models. The gearbox is ZF sourced, its good most of the times but the downshifts are not as quick when compared to a ZF paired to a BMW engine. Noteworthy point is that the Ingenium petrol sounds better v/s the older Ford sourced 2L Ecoboost. ![]() P300 & i personally think Range Rover India missed the opportunity by not offering that tune in the VELAR. This same engine is available in 300hp tune producing 400 nm i.e. Surely under load (3+ passengers & luggage) it may feel strained and that's only when one would miss the larger engines. Its adequate to have safe fun too, nothing crazy. BUT i was wrong as theres plenty of punch available throughout the revv range to keep you maintained healthy speeds, particularly the mid range. I was ready to criticise the 2L Ingenium petrol (P250 - 250 hp & 365 nm) of the Velar, thinking that how could they give a small 4 cyl petrol motor in a car this big. Whats great about the design of the Velar that this isnt a bigger version of the EVOQUE nor it is the smaller edition of the RR Sport (the way Germans are operating now), but the Velar is a complete all new design philosophy adopted by Range Rover. ![]() Exterior design is truly the major USP for the Velar, be it the flush door handles or the simplistic Reductionism based design philosophy which truly hits the sweet spot & personally feel this might be the most beautiful looking SUV out there. Then we have a discussion on the new Ingenium Petrol, Driving performance, Handling, Interiors etc The video starts off with a intro/tribute to ALVIS & ROVER, how the VELAR name was coined ![]()
