ALL WHEEL DRIVE WITH
INTELLIGENT DRIVELINE DYNAMICS
All Wheel Drive (AWD) with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD), fitted
as standard, delivers both outstanding on road performance and the
full off-road capability expected of a Range Rover. Working together,
AWD with IDD continually optimizes the engine torque distribution
to the front and rear wheels and to provide improved traction and
in variety of road and weather conditions*. Uniquely developed for
the Range Rover Velar, the durable transfer box uses an electro-
mechanically activated multi-plate wet clutch to deliver smooth and
precise distribution to the front and rear wheels. This ensures the
constant optimization is imperceptible from the cabin and available
engine torque is maximized to give efficient vehicle traction.
IDD determines the required distribution by continually monitoring
the vehicle and its interaction with the road. Typically starting with
a 50:50 distribution to ensure maximum controlled stability from
the first vehicle movement, the system has the full capability of
100 percent rear bias to 100 percent front bias should road conditions
require it. Predictive, as well as reactive, the system helps prevent
losing traction as well as working to regain it*.
REFINED PERFORMANCE
The drive of the Range Rover Velar is supremely confident, connected and effortlessly
delivered thanks to a carefully engineered suite of technologies.
*These systems are not a substitute for driving safely with due care and attention and
will not function under all circumstances, speeds, weather and road conditions, etc.
Driver should not assume that these systems will correct errors of judgment in driving.
Please consult the owner’s manual or your local authorized Land Rover Retailer for more details.

LOW TRACTION CONDITIONS
On slippery surfaces, such as wet grass and
snow, torque can be balanced between the front
and rear wheels to improve traction. In extreme
conditions where only the front wheels have
traction, up to 100 percent of engine torque
can be distributed to the front wheels for
enhanced grip*.
HIGH TRACTION CONDITIONS
On smooth, dry surfaces, Range Rover Velar
provides intelligent torque distribution to the
rear wheels for the most efficient drive as well as
delivering precise agility and handling*.
TORQUE VECTORING BY BRAKING
Torque Vectoring by Braking is designed to deliver
controlled, responsive cornering by reducing near-
limit understeer through controlled braking of the
inside wheels*.

PERFORMANCE AND CAPABILITY
ADAPTIVE DYNAMICS
The standard Adaptive Dynamics system delivers both precise
dynamics and a supple, luxurious ride by monitoring wheel position
and body movements. To do this, the system is designed to
constantly analyze acceleration, steering, throttle and brake pedal
activity. The electronically controlled dampers adjust to optimize the
suspension settings and provide optimum balance between comfort,
refinement and agility*.
CONFIGURABLE DYNAMICS
To enhance either refinement and comfort or the vehicle‘s
performance, the optional Configurable Dynamics function
allows you to configure the throttle mapping, gearbox shift points,
steering settings and suspension to suit your driving needs.

CAPABILITY
The first vehicle to combine luxury and refinement with Land Rover-renowned capability, Range Rover
continues to be leading-edge. Range Rover Velar offers new levels of style, while its unique Land Rover
technologies and optimized geometry secure its position at the forefront of off-road capability.
The Land Rover patented Hill Descent Control (HDC
®
) is a standard feature. It is designed to assist the driver
with controlled descents of difficult slopes. It does so by maintaining a constant speed and applying braking
separately to each wheel. Hill Launch Assist, which also comes as standard, is designed to help prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards as it pulls away on an incline. The vehicle also utilizes Gradient Release
Control, which is also standard, and is designed to prevent the vehicle accelerating too quickly on a steep
incline when the driver releases the brake

ELECTRONIC AIR SUSPENSION
A sure-footed, composed drive is completed by the latest Electronic Air Suspension, which provides
exceptional wheel articulation and poise. It changes the vehicle‘s height quickly, allowing cross-linking
of the diagonal wheels to keep all four wheels on the ground on very uneven surfaces. Added to which,
it makes loading heavy objects into the trunk easier as you can alter the vehicle‘s height by +/- 2 inches
to suit your needs. These functions can be operated via the 10" Touchscreen or button* in the cargo space
area. The Speed Lowering System also uses the Electronic Air Suspension to reduce aerodynamic drag
and fuel consumption at cruising speeds by lowering the vehicle from normal ride-height when the speed
reaches 65 mph

ALL TERRAIN PROGRESS CONTROL
All Terrain Progress Control (ATPC) is a state-of-the-art optional system that enables you to set and maintain
a steady speed in challenging conditions such as slippery surfaces, including: mud, wet grass, snow and dirt
roads. Operating like a cruise control system, it functions between 2.2 mph and 19 mph, enabling you to
maintain full concentration on steering and finding a path through obstacles
