The Range Rover Velar is a vehicle that combines design and engineering. For those considering this model, understanding the official figures and specifications is crucial. This article delves into the details you need to know, focusing on WLTP figures, factors affecting performance, and other essential considerations.
The figures provided are derived from official manufacturer tests conducted in accordance with EU legislation, utilizing a fully charged battery where applicable. These figures are intended solely for comparison purposes. It’s important to recognize that real-world figures may vary due to several influencing factors.
WLTP and Its Significance for Velar Owners
WLTP, or Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure, is the standardized EU test for calculating fuel consumption and CO2 emissions for passenger cars. The CO2 figures presented are based on the standard specification of the Range Rover Velar. Since April 1st, 2022, WLTP CO2 figures have been used to determine Vehicle Excise Duty. Modifications from the standard vehicle condition will result in a unique CO2 value for VED calculation. For precise details related to your specific configuration, it’s recommended to consult with your Retailer.
Factors Influencing Real-World Performance
Several elements can cause variations between official WLTP figures and real-world performance in your Range Rover Velar. These include:
- Driving Style: Aggressive acceleration and braking can increase fuel consumption and emissions.
- Environmental Conditions: Temperature, weather, and road conditions affect vehicle efficiency.
- Vehicle Load: The weight of passengers and cargo impacts fuel economy.
- Wheel Fitment and Accessories: Optional wheels and accessories can alter aerodynamic properties and vehicle weight.
- Actual Route: Hilly terrains and stop-and-go traffic differ from standardized test routes.
- Battery Condition: For plug-in hybrid models, battery age and charge level affect electric range and overall fuel consumption.
Range figures are established using a production vehicle over a standardized route. Keep these factors in mind to manage expectations regarding fuel economy, energy consumption, and range.
Charging Times and Battery Considerations
Charging times for Range Rover Velar plug-in hybrid models are variable. They are influenced by factors such as the battery’s age, condition, temperature, existing charge, the charging facility used, and the duration of charge.
Features, Options, and Important Notes
It’s important to note that standard features can change when alternative trim levels are selected. Engine variant and transmission choices may also affect standard features. Optional features and their availability can depend on the specific vehicle model, powertrain, and may require the inclusion of other features. Always confirm details with your local Retailer or through the online configurator.
In-car features are designed to be used safely. Drivers must maintain full control of the vehicle at all times. Pivi and InControl features, options, third-party services, and their availability are market-dependent. Subscription renewals may be required for certain features after an initial period. Mobile network connectivity can’t be guaranteed everywhere. Information and images related to InControl technology are subject to updates and changes.
Financial Products: PCP, PCH, and BCH
Range Rover Velar is available with various financial products, including Personal Contract Purchase (PCP), Personal Contract Hire (PCH), and Business Contract Hire (BCH). These options cater to different needs, whether for personal or business use. Terms and conditions apply, and these offers are typically available for specific periods and models. Representative examples, like the Range Rover Velar PCP example for a D200 Dynamic SE model, illustrate potential monthly payments and terms. Always review the specifics with Land Rover Financial Services or Lex Autolease Limited for complete details and eligibility.
Conclusion
Understanding the WLTP figures and the factors that can influence the real-world performance of your Range Rover Velar is essential. By considering these details, along with the available features and financial options, potential owners can make informed decisions. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, always consult official Land Rover resources and your local Retailer.
