The Range Rover Velar, which recently declared its transition to an electric model, has been spotted in new spy shots and is drawing significant attention. Introduced six years ago as Range Rover’s trendsetter, the Velar is now undergoing its final testing phase, preparing to set new trends again.
Despite heavy camouflage, the Range Rover Velar’s silhouette is discernible, revealing a bold redesign. The vehicle sports a significantly lowered front and rear profile, creating an aggressive stance unusual for an SUV. While the front and rear details are obscured, the elongated headlights and taillights hint at a design that emphasizes the vehicle’s width and low-slung appearance. The Velar’s premium SUV heritage is evident in its enlarged wheel arches and sculpted fenders, which add a sense of power and luxury to its overall aesthetic.
The Range Rover Velar debuted six years ago. Now entering its second generation, the model is transitioning to a fully electric vehicle. It will adopt the new EMA platform, equipped with an 800V architecture and a 100kWh-class battery, targeting a maximum WLTP range of 750 km (466 miles). With the ability to charge up to 80% in just 10 minutes, it aims to balance trendiness and practicality.
The interior is expected to feature a digital instrument cluster and a horizontally positioned touchscreen angled at 45 degrees on the center console, similar to the latest Range Rover models.
The Range Rover Velar EV is expected to launch in the second half of 2026. Its initial release will begin in the United Kingdom, followed by other European markets, and eventually, global availability.
