In the automotive world, we notice an ever changing market. With EVs being released and updated on a weekly basis, and manufacturers entering the dog-eat-dog environment, consumers sit home and are itching to buy something. Licking their chops all the way to the bank, British luxury manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) enters Grasso’s Garage with a beautifully designed updated release. I give you the 2024 Range Rover Velar. This all-wheel drive, 5-passenger SUV received a recent refresh and one that will pay off nicely.
Wrapped in Zadar Grey with a Cloud/Ebony interior, the Velar boasted a 3.0 Liter Turbocharged 6-cylinder paired with a mild-hybrid engine producing 395 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. Matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and satin chrome paddle shifters. Riding on upgraded 21-inch dark grey wheels, the Velar showed out exceptionally nicely with that British design, other manufactures are drooling to keep up with.
With a base price just over $70K, the Velar is spacious and functional. On the interior, we notice an updated 11.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system, power tailgate, heads up display, Cold Climate Package which was a $1,175 upgrade in addition to the other standard features. Meridien Sound, Apple CarPlay, SiriusXM, Keyless entry, Ambient Lighting, Sliding Panoramic Roof, LED Headlights, Heated seats and much more. The Warranty for the Land Rover brand is a 4-year / 50,000 mile new vehicle limited warranty, 4-year / 50,000 mile roadside assistance and 6-year / Unlimited Mileage Corrosion Warranty.
In Grasso’s Garage, Jaguar Land Rover has always done an excellent job of producing appealing vehicles matched with power and sportiness. While comfort has not necessarily always been top of the chart, the Velar is different. It boasts power, comfort, appeal and usage.
