#RangeRoverVelar

It’s a real shame you can’t buy a new diesel-powered Volkswagen in the U.S. anymore.

Under the hood of the Velar Velar SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition is Jaguar Land Rover’s 5.0-liter supercharged V8, which is good for 542 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, this forced induction eight-cylinder will help the Velar hustle from 0-60 mph in a sports car-baiting 4.5s and reach a top speed of 170 mph. Land Rover also claims it will accelerate from 50-75 mph in just 2.6s.

Velar is the fourth member of the Range Rover family. Size-wise, it slots in between the smaller Evoke and larger Sport model.

When the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar gets into the hands of customers, 99 percent of them likely won’t be tackling trails through the desert badlands, but that doesn’t mean they can’t.

Land Rover is set to introduce the newest member of the Range Rover family.
