The Land Rover Velar is the new addition to the luxury SUV lineup. Just like its exterior, we'll be getting a desirable cabin wrapped in premium leather upholstery with metal-look and piano black accents. With premium color options, the Velar has a massive cabin with great road visibility dedicated to the driver's focus and comfort. If you keep aside the lavish design, the Velar gets the most advanced cabin ever in a Land Rover. The Velar is equipped with the latest dual-screen infotainment setup that takes most of the space at the center while the remaining is occupied by the controls. The massive leather steering wheel gets a touch controller for the all-digital gauge display. The metal-look accents highlight all the functions of the dash including the steering.
The seats are wrapped with Luxtec and suede leather as standard, while the Perforated Grained leather is available from the S trim. The R-Dynamic HSE trim is designed with high-end Windsor leather trim. The front bucket seats have 10-way adjustable front seats as standard, while the top-end trim gets heated/cooled 20-way adjustable seats with a massage function. The rear seat is a 40-20-40 split power reclining bench seat with a fold forward seatback.
