2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2022 Range Rover Velar is a light equipment update, led by heated front seats and All Terrain Progress Control becoming standard across the lineup. It is not a redesign.
About the 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar
1st generation (2018-2023), late-cycle year after the 2021 tech/powertrain update and before the later HST addition and 2024 refresh.
Land Rover positions the Range Rover Velar as the style-led midsize Range Rover: a sleek luxury SUV that blends sophisticated design, intelligent technology, and genuine all-wheel-drive capability. It sits between the smaller Evoque and the larger Range Rover Sport, appealing to buyers who want a cleaner, more fashion-forward cabin and exterior than many rivals, without giving up the everyday comfort, road-trip ease, and light off-pavement ability expected from the brand.
The lineup starts with the cleanly styled S P250 and its turbo four-cylinder engine, while the S P340 and R-Dynamic S P340 pair a smoother mild-hybrid turbo inline-six with different exterior treatments. The R-Dynamic HSE tops the range with air suspension, adaptive cruise control with steering assist, and a dual 10-inch touchscreen system with navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
