“Go for it...YOLO! This is the best vehicle I have ever owned and I have owned many vehicles throughout my life. The finish, fit, overall profile of the vehicle inside and out is beyond compare, plus the intuitiveness is exceptional. The styling is very unique and you do not see them very often on the road, so it isn't just another me-to SUV like a lot of the other brands out there.”
2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2019 Range Rover Velar’s biggest change is standard Adaptive Dynamics suspension on every trim, which continually adjusts the ride for comfort and control. This is not a redesign, but the V6 choices and trim lineup also change.
About the 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar
1st generation, second model year (launched for 2018).
Land Rover positions the Velar as the design-led member of the Range Rover family: a sleeker, lower-roof luxury SUV that puts style and a minimalist cabin front and center without giving up the brand’s trademark all-weather and off-road ability. Its core appeal is the combination of striking exterior design, a twin-screen interior, upscale materials, and genuine AWD capability for buyers who want something more fashion-forward than a typical luxury SUV.
The base Velar has AWD, a panoramic glass roof, terrain modes and a minimalist cabin with two 10-inch touchscreens. S has leather and navigation, while R-Dynamic SE pairs sportier styling with a digital gauge display and added parking technology. R-Dynamic HSE uses a 380-hp supercharged V6 and has premium leather plus heated, ventilated and massaging front seats; the SVAutobiography later arrives as the top-performance version.
What changed, by category
Suspension
Adaptive Dynamics becomes standard across the lineup. Every V6 model also gains standard air suspension.
Powertrain
The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 is split into 340- and 380-hp versions. S gains the 340-hp V6, R-Dynamic SE switches to that engine, and R-Dynamic HSE uses the 380-hp version. Diesel power is dropped from R-Dynamic SE and R-Dynamic HSE, while V6 models receive a larger 21.6-gallon fuel tank.
Lineup
The First Edition and SE trims are dropped. Later in the model year, the one-year-only SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition joins as the top-performance Velar.
Safety
Park Assist changes from standard to optional on R-Dynamic HSE. Blind-spot sensors change from standard to optional on R-Dynamic SE.
Tech and convenience
A tilt steering wheel becomes standard on S and R-Dynamic SE, while the base trim gains a standard power-adjustable driver’s seat.
