Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0D 240 hp, test - Road Test
We tried the Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0D 240bhp: the sexiest SUV does a great job both on asphalt and off-road, but it's not very spacious. 4-cylinder engine? Better spend a little more and get a V6

There are balanced cars, and then there is the Range Rover Velar: a "white or black" SUV with no shades of gray, exceptional in some respects (road behavior and fuel consumption in the first place) and less convincing in others (livability). , above all). Scenic crossover (retractable handles and sexy design) and emotional, suitable for any type of surface. Advice? Spend another € 3.400 and buy the V6.
La Land Rover Range Rover Velar it's not only SUV more "road rider" of the British manufacturer, but also one of the great Crossovers more efficient on asphalt in circulation (credit floor in aluminum, the same as Jaguar F-Pace).
And in off-road? Don't worry: she, like her "cousins", has everything you need to resistoff-road more stubborn (especially if equipped air suspension, optional up to 1.685 euros): 65 cm depth of ship, Ground clearance 25,1 cm, attack angle 27,15 °, in the corner 23,5 ° East exit angle 29,07 °. Without forgetting about the system Terrain response which optimizes engine, gearbox, center differential and chassis performance to suit the terrain with six settings (Comfort, Grass / Gravel / Snow, Mud & Rut, Sand, ECO and Dynamic).
In our road test we have to check Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0D 240hp in the most expensive setting HSE R-Dynamic: let's find out together I strengths и defects of SUV the more expensive 4-cylinder on the market (not counting plug-in hybrids, of course).

city
Don't be fooled by the sleek lines that make it seem longer than it really is: Land Rover Range Rover Velar it is shorter than the big ones SUV the most famous ("only" 4,80 meters in length) and when maneuvering you can count on Parking sensors 360 °, On Rear View Camera and on many untreated plastic covers on the underside of the body (useful in case of “touches”, but also during off-road trips).
In city he gets along well: thanks to the system Adaptive dynamics which constantly changes the damping setting depending on the surface (which helps a lot in the holes) and engine capable of providing adequate traction at 2.000 rpm.
Outside the city
Il the weight content is merit floor in aluminum - does Land Rover Range Rover Velar our main character road test one of SUV it is more pleasant to ride in corners. Everything combined with Automatic transmission 8-speed (hydrotransformer) provides smooth one-to-one gear shifting steering reasonable correct.
Not so convincing engine: biturbo diesel 2.0 has a boring sound and will require more horsepower (241), more torque (500 Nm) and, above all, more cylinders and more displacement (which, in our opinion, is necessary for cars of this type sold at a higher price). price over 80.000 3.0 euros). We advise buying it with a 6 V275 diesel engine with 3.400 hp: it costs only 926,95 euros more and has a higher mark (also due to the super tax: 555,99 euros instead of XNUMX euros), but it gives much more pleasure on the item "elasticity of movement".
шосе
In motorway la Land Rover Range Rover Velar turns out to be a good travel companion: Crossovers The Brit gives an excellent sense of safety (it brakes well when changing direction at high speed and is stable, almost immune to roll), but at 130 km / h you have to deal with too much aerodynamic rustle and the sound of an ungrateful propeller.
head autonomy: The house declares only 938 km with a full tank and it is really impossible to drive more than 800 km. Guilt tank small (60 liters), not gods consumption (Great).
Life on board
La Land Rover Range Rover Velar you do not buy for reasons of practicality: if it is true that trunk has an interesting volume (673 liters, which becomes 1.731 with the rear seats folded), it is equally true that design sexy takes the seat for the rear passengers.
British Sport Utility looks good inside (apart from the hard plastic cover on the dashboard, which is inadequate for a car with this emblem) and creates an elegant and futuristic atmosphere. System Touch Pro Duo - consisting of two touch screen 10 ”is interesting, but there is a risk of distraction when, for example, you want to call up the air conditioner on the display below. Last but not least (really), the absence Android Auto e Apple CarPlay: will only arrive next year.

La Warranty three years or 100.000 km convinces, as well as I consumption: The British manufacturer claims the mileage is 15,6 km / L, and if you don't exaggerate with the accelerator pedal you can stay above 10. Used, but absurd diesel ban laws on road congestion risk having a strong impact on future prices.
