The Range Rover Velar is a standout in the luxury SUV segment, known for its sleek styling, premium features, and impressive performance. As we look ahead to the 2026 model year, the Velar is poised to offer even more refinement and capability. We are here to help you explore the key differences between the 2025 Range Rover Velar and the 2026 model, focusing on what's new and improved.
Trim Levels and Powertrains
For 2026, the Range Rover Velar will be available in three well-equipped trim levels: S, Dynamic SE, and Autobiography. The base S trim comes powered by a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 247 horsepower. It's paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel drive for confident handling in any weather. Stepping up to the Dynamic SE trim unlocks an optional 3.0L turbocharged inline-six mild hybrid powertrain, generating an impressive 395 horsepower. At the top of the range, the Autobiography trim comes standard with the potent mild hybrid setup.
Whether you're cruising through Lakeland or embarking on a road trip from Central Florida, the Range Rover Velar's advanced powertrains deliver a perfect balance of efficiency and performance. With fuel economy ratings of up to 26 MPG highway for the base engine and 25 MPG highway for the mild hybrid, the Velar lets you go further between fill-ups.
Exterior and Interior Design
The 2026 Range Rover Velar retains its signature minimalist design language, with clean lines, a bold front grille, and sleek LED headlights. New for 2026 are updated wheel designs, ranging from 19 to 22 inches in diameter, allowing for greater personalization. Kissimmee drivers will appreciate the available Black Contrast Roof option, which adds a unique two-tone look to the Velar's already eye-catching profile.
Inside, the Velar's cabin is a sanctuary of luxury and technology. The 2026 model features upgraded materials, including extended Windsor leather upholstery on the Autobiography trim. All models now come standard with 14-way power-adjustable front seats with memory settings, ensuring optimal comfort on even the longest drives through Winter Haven. The centerpiece of the dashboard is the 11.4-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen infotainment system, which includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a Wi-Fi hotspot for staying connected on the go.
Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance Technologies
Land Rover has always prioritized safety, and the 2026 Range Rover Velar is no exception. All models come standard with a comprehensive suite of driver assistance features, including adaptive cruise control with steering assist, lane keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, and a 360-degree camera system. For added peace of mind during those trips to Valrico, the Velar also offers an optional Park Assist feature, which can automatically steer the vehicle into parallel or perpendicular parking spaces.
