2026 Land Rover Range Rover Velar: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2026 Range Rover Velar is the new P400 Autobiography, which replaces the P400 Dynamic HSE as the top trim. Otherwise, this is a light update focused on trim strategy and equipment rather than a redesign.
About the 2026 Land Rover Range Rover Velar
1st generation Velar, late-cycle after the 2024 refresh.
Range Rover positions the Velar as the design-led middle SUV in its lineup: a clean, minimalist luxury SUV that emphasizes style, a quiet cabin, and relaxed road manners more than sharp handling. Its core appeal is the combination of elegant exterior design, a calm upscale interior, useful all-weather capability, and enough off-pavement hardware to go farther than many compact luxury SUV rivals. Buyers choose it for the look and atmosphere as much as for the badge.
The 2026 lineup starts with the cleanly equipped P250 S, while Dynamic SE trims add a sportier look and more driver-assistance features. The P400 Autobiography emphasizes comfort with a 395-hp six-cylinder engine, air suspension, extended leather, massaging front seats and 3D surround sound. Belgravia Edition models take a more design-focused approach with unique badges, cabin trim and lighting, while the limited Satin version adds a satin exterior finish and blacked-out details.
