Land Rover , along with Jaguar , has experienced a somewhat turbulent period. The Covid-19 crisis nearly bankrupted them, as their sales and profits plummeted. If it hadn't been for the financial backing of their parent company, Tata, they would be defunct today or in the hands of the Chinese, who are so eager to dominate the European market. Nevertheless, both British firms will be revamping their product ranges, and the new Range Rover Velar will be a key element in their future strategy.
As you know, Jaguar and Land Rover have gone their separate ways to focus on specific models. However, despite this new division, their models will maintain their premium essence, and the Velar will be no exception. In fact, although it's not one of the best-selling SUVs in its segment, it will have a second generation, which its developers are already working on. And little by little, we're getting more information about it. Take note of it all…
The new generation of the Land Rover Range Rover Velar will debut at the end of 2024 to be sold at the beginning of 2025...
Not long ago we told you that the new Range Rover Velar would debut in 2025 and would be fully electric. Well, the British automaker's plans remain unchanged, but now the first test units have been sent out for validation testing . Therefore, in a matter of days or weeks, we'll see renders showing what its design evolution might look like. But that's not all we know about it…
If everything goes according to plan, the debut of the new Velar could happen ahead of schedule . While it's expected to go on sale sometime in 2025, it could be officially unveiled as early as the end of 2024. This early launch would be due to the release of its design and technical specifications to generate hype and boost sales. If online rumors are correct, the launch would take place between November and December.
It will be based on the EMA platform and could have a more traditional design…
There are also details regarding the possible design of the new Velar. Several sources suggest it would lose some of the current model's coupé-like appearance, becoming more robust . Land Rover's aim would be to differentiate this model somewhat from the Range Rover Sport, with which it currently competes in sales. However, there will be no doubt about its off-road capabilities, as, true to form for the brand, they will be superior to those of its rivals.
To achieve this, Land Rover will rely on the new EMA modular platform developed by Jaguar. This expands its powertrain options because, although it will initially be fully electric, it could also offer plug-in hybrid versions. Questions remain about its power output and range, so we'll have to wait for the brand to release further details. In any case, it will come with batteries ranging from 70 to 100 kWh.
