Inside the Velar, a treat awaits you with a redesigned dashboard, perfectly aligning it with its prestigious siblings, the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. The showstopper is the brand-new 11.4-inch touchscreen infused with Land Rover’s cutting-edge Pivi Pro system, now equipped with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Interestingly, the terrain response system that previously occupied a space on the center console has now been seamlessly integrated into the touchscreen interface.
Besides these, the vehicle flaunts a cleaner center console design, sporting fewer buttons, and bidding farewell to the secondary screen and HVAC control dials. In their place, a new stowage space, thoughtfully equipped with a wireless charger, caters to modern needs. Furthermore, the rotary drive selector has made way for a more conventional unit, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
