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.

Search ‘Range Rover Velar Capability‘ for full details.

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
