In a bid to elevate the driving experience to new heights, the Range Rover Velar is set to receive a host of cutting-edge technologies and features in its 2024 model year. These enhancements are designed to create a serene and comfortable atmosphere during every journey, making the Velar a standout in the luxury SUV segment. In this article, we delve into the story behind the updates and what South African drivers can expect from the upcoming model.

Active Road Noise Cancellation: A Quieter Cabin

One of the standout features of the 2024 Range Rover Velar is the introduction of Active Road Noise Cancellation technology. This system takes road noise reduction to the next level, ensuring that the cabin remains whisper-quiet even on less-than-ideal road surfaces.

The technology works by monitoring road vibrations and then generating sound waves to counteract road noise. By doing so, it effectively reduces cabin noise levels by at least four decibels. The result? A more tranquil and enjoyable driving experience for occupants.

To achieve this feat, the Velar employs accelerometers located in each wheel arch. These sensors detect vibrations caused by uneven road surfaces, potholes, and other imperfections. Once identified, the system responds by generating sound waves that are precisely tuned to cancel out the offending noise, leaving passengers in serene silence.

Enhanced Cabin Air System: Breathe Easier

For South African drivers who value clean and healthy cabin air, the 2024 Range Rover Velar offers an Enhanced Cabin Air system. This system, available with the optional Comfort Pack, goes the extra mile to ensure a healthier environment inside the cabin.

The system employs PM2.5 Enhanced Filtration to filter out harmful particulates, making the air cleaner and safer to breathe. But it doesn’t stop there. Cabin Air Ionisation and CO2 Management take air quality to the next level by effectively removing allergens, viruses, bacteria, and unpleasant odors. This means that whether you’re cruising through the city or tackling rugged terrain, you can breathe easy knowing that the cabin air is of the highest quality.

Customizable Comfort: Luxury Inside and Out

Step inside the 2024 Range Rover Velar, and you’ll find a world of customizable comfort options.

From supportive front seats with memory functionality to luxurious massage seats, the Velar places a strong emphasis on ensuring that you and your passengers are comfortable throughout your journey.

At the highest trim level, the Autobiography, you’ll be treated to heated and cooled massage seats upholstered in Windsor leather. This is the epitome of luxury, where comfort meets style.

But comfort isn’t limited to just the seats. The Velar also boasts Configurable Cabin Lighting, allowing you to set the ambiance with 30 different interior color options. What’s more, these lighting settings are retained when you open the doors or start the vehicle, ensuring a consistent and welcoming atmosphere every time.

Practical Features for Everyday Convenience

Another noteworthy feature is the Electronic Air Suspension, which not only enhances ride comfort but also improves efficiency. It includes features like Elegant Arrival, ensuring that you arrive in style, and self-leveling functionality for towing, making it easier to tow trailers or boats with confidence.

Adaptive Dynamics and Configurable Dynamics: Tailored Performance

For those who relish the thrill of driving, the 2024 Range Rover Velar offers advanced chassis systems to enhance the driving experience.

The Adaptive Dynamics chassis system plays a crucial role in maintaining smoothness on rough roads. By continuously adjusting damping forces, it ensures that you enjoy a comfortable and composed ride, no matter the road conditions.

But the customization doesn’t stop there. The Velar introduces Configurable Dynamics, a feature that allows drivers to tailor the vehicle’s settings to match their preferences. Whether you prefer a more spirited and dynamic drive or a relaxed and comfortable one, you can fine-tune the Velar to suit your style.
