The Art of Reduction, Mastered
New Range Rover Velar D200 MHEV Autobiography
Sculpted, subtle, and supremely self-assured—the Range Rover Velar has always occupied the space between tradition and tomorrow. And in Autobiography trim, the new D200 Mild Hybrid is now the most refined expression of Velar yet: quiet power, clean lines, and an interior that feels more boutique hotel than SUV.
At its heart is the 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel engine, producing 201bhp, supported by a 48-volt Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) system that recovers energy during deceleration to boost efficiency and responsiveness. It's smooth, torquey, and whisper-quiet, with a calm confidence that makes long journeys disappear in effortless stride. Combined with the slick-shifting 8-speed automatic gearbox and intelligent all-wheel drive, the Velar D200 Autobiography makes progress feel seamless—on the motorway or the moor.
But what really elevates this Velar is its exquisite sense of occasion. The Autobiography spec brings a suite of indulgences: perforated Windsor leather seats, heated, cooled and massaging front chairs, 22-inch gloss alloy wheels, and the brilliant Meridian™ 3D Surround Sound System. The minimalist cabin is dominated by a floating 11.4-inch curved glass touchscreen running the latest Pivi Pro infotainment software, framed by calming ambient lighting and tactile metal finishes. Everything you touch feels considered.
Externally, the Velar remains the design-led Land Rover—sleek, reductive, and unashamedly modern. Flush door handles, clean surfaces, and a confident stance all speak to a car that understands presence doesn’t require volume.
And despite its luxury credentials, this is still a Land Rover at heart. With All Terrain Progress Control, Hill Descent Control, and the brains of Terrain Response 2, the Velar is just as at home on a gravel trail as it is gliding through city streets.
