2023 Range Rover Velar Exterior
For an SUV, the Land Rover Range Rover Velar's exterior is surprisingly sleek, more so than any other Range Rover, thanks in part to flush door handles that pop out electronically when you need to gain access. An expansive front grille, aggressive bumper air intakes, a pair of subtle fender vent-like accents, and a standard panoramic glass sunroof with floating all-black pillars, further add to the look. R-Dynamic models add burnished copper accents and slightly different front and rear fascias. As standard, base variants of the Velar ride on 19-inch alloy wheels, but 20- and 21-inch options are available for extra cash. The HST gets gloss-black 21-inch alloys and a black roof.

Dimensions
The spacious Velar needs a long wheelbase in order to be so accommodating, and it gets one that measures 113.1 inches. Overall length is measured at 188.9 inches, while width is 80.35 inches with mirrors folded (and 84.53 inches with them extended). It's bigger in size than an X3 or Q5. Dimensions for height vary slightly depending on suspension, with the standard coil suspension the Velar is lifted to 66.26 inches and the available air suspension lowering it slightly to 66.06 inches - roof rails and antenna affect these measurements, too. The suspension also affects ground clearance, with the standard setup allowing for 8.43 inches and the air suspension in its off-road setting allowing up to 9.9 inches. Wading depth measures between 20.87 and 22.83 inches with the coil and air suspension setups respectively; similarly, maximum approach, departure, and break-over angles for the Velar with the air suspension are 27.5, 29.5, and 23.5 degrees, with the steel suspension's figures being 25, 27, and 22 degrees, respectively. Curb weight ranges from 4,130 lbs in the base model to a starting figure of 4,430 lbs for the P400 HST.

Exterior Colors
The palette of exterior colors for the Land Rover Range Rover Velar is slashed dramatically this year, with the base model having access to a total of nine colors, down from 24. No-cost options are only limited to only one basic color, and it's available on all trims: Fuji White. Metallic paint options cost $650 and are Santorini Black, Byron Blue, Portofino Blue, Hakuba Silver, Eiger Grey, Ostuni Pearl White, and Lantau Bronze on the S, while the R-Dynamic S trims add to these Firenze Red. Premium metallic paint options cost $1,550, and the S has access to Carpathian Grey, while R-Dynamic S trims add Charente Grey as well. The HST has the same color palette as the R-Dynamic S trims but gets one trim-exclusive no-cost color called Arroios Grey. In addition, all the metallics are no-cost options on this trim, while the two premium metallics cost only $900.
