Defying expectations and capturing attention
The 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar crossover is a unique entrant in the premium SUV class. It is larger than compact SUVs and smaller than midsize utility vehicles. With aerodynamic lines, an air-channeling spoiler, and distinctive lines, it defies assumptions about Land Rover body design. This year’s Velar lineup offered five engine options instead of the four SUV buyers had to choose from in 2018.
The cabin is opulently appointed with Land Rover's usual luxury, though rear-seat legroom (37 inches) may not be ideal for tall passengers. Bluetooth® integration pairing can take multiple attempts.

5 reasons to buy the 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar
1. Stylish, aerodynamic design
Land Rover engineered the 2019 Range Rover Velar to have uncharacteristically sleek curves, flush door handles, and clean lines to minimize drag and wind noise. Available with black contrast roof styling or an optional sliding panoramic sunroof and eight metallic paint colors, the 2019 Range Rover Velar design has an enduring exterior design motif. The Velar is surprisingly aerodynamic, yet its flush door handles, sleek Matrix LED and optional Matrix LED headlights elegantly accent the curved body lines.
2. Luxurious interior
The 2019 Range Rover Velar's cabin is available in four colorways. It features perforated leather seat and dashboard covers, quilted seat patterns, wood veneers, and carbon fiber finishers. The electronic suspension lowers the vehicle slightly for ease of entry and exit. The elevated cabin provides excellent views of the road and your surroundings, enhancing your confidence behind the wheel.
3. Dynamic driver-assist features
There are over 20 standard driver-assist features built into every 2019 Range Rover Velar. Save on fuel consumption with automated stop/start. Climb and descend hills with greater traction with hill descent control and launch assist. Terrain Response selects the kind of road or landscape you are driving on to align with speed, torque, and suspension stiffness.
4. Match the diesel and gasoline engine to your driving needs
Will a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder 180-hp diesel engine meet your daily driver transportation needs, or will you need a 3.0L V6 twin-turbocharged diesel engine? Or are you more comfortable with a high-performance gasoline Ingenium 300-hp 2.0 liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine to get you, your passengers, and cargo from A to B? Look out for a 2019 Range Rover Velar that aligns with your powertrain needs.
5. Packed with technology and innovation
If you prioritize technology in the cabin and under the hood, there are lots of infotainment, parking, and driver-assist option packs available in 2019 Range Rover Velars. Check out vehicle specs to see if the used 2019 Velar you are evaluating is equipped with options like a 360° surround camera, parking sensors, head-up display, and blind spot monitoring.
