What defines the 2022 Range Rover Velar within the Land Rover lineup in Canada?
The 2022 Range Rover Velar occupies the mid-range position in Land Rover's hierarchy, sitting between the compact Range Rover Evoque and the larger Range Rover Sport. It distinguishes itself through a minimalist exterior design featuring flush retractable electric door handles, a longer coupe-like profile at 4,803 mm, and an interior organized around the stacked dual 10-inch Touch Pro Duo touchscreens that replace nearly all physical controls. Two engines were offered in Canada: the P250 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder at 246 horsepower, and the P400 3.0-litre Ingenium inline-six mild-hybrid at 395 horsepower. Prices ran from approximately $65,000 (S P250) to over $100,000 (First Edition P400 fully optioned). Terrain Response all-wheel drive and optional adaptive air suspension were available. The Velar was Land Rover's most design- and technology-focused Range Rover, positioned against the Porsche Macan (more dynamic) and the Volvo XC60 (more reliable) in the Canadian premium mid-size SUV segment.
