2025 Land Rover Range Rover Velar: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2025 Range Rover Velar is a light update, not a redesign. Its main change is standard proximity locking and unlocking across the lineup, along with small revisions to driver-assist feature behavior.
About the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Velar
1st generation Velar (2018-present); 2025 is the second model year after the 2024 styling and infotainment update, not a redesign year.
Land Rover positions the Range Rover Velar as the sleek, design-led member of the Range Rover SUV family: a midsize luxury SUV built around minimalist styling, a calm upscale cabin, and genuine all-weather capability. Its core appeal is less about sharp sports-SUV responses and more about style, quiet comfort, touchscreen-driven tech, and the confidence of standard AWD with Terrain Response. Against German rivals, the Velar leans harder on visual drama, cabin ambience, and light off-pavement ability.
The P250 S delivers the core Velar experience with a 247-hp turbo four-cylinder engine, AWD, a panoramic roof, premium audio, and an 11.4-inch touchscreen. The P250 Dynamic SE adds a sharper-looking exterior treatment and leather upholstery, while the P400 Dynamic SE pairs the stronger 395-hp mild-hybrid six-cylinder engine with an upgraded suspension. At the top, the P400 Dynamic HSE emphasizes comfort with air suspension, extended leather, and heated, ventilated, massaging front seats.
