It's the same silky unit we tried recently in the Discovery 5 2021MY, only here it's installed in a significantly lighter, lower and more aerodynamic body. Turn your eyes, then, to this D300 MHEV as maybe being the sweet spot of the modern-day Velar line-up. although we did note the P400 has a raging thirst on it, so it's unlikely either of these juicy inline-sixes will find much favour here in the UK. There are two petrols, the P340 and then the sublime P400, which we've already exulted in driving in the magnificent Defender 110. All three of these newcomers are 48-volt MHEVs that drive all four wheels through an eight-speed ZF gearbox, and they all sit on twin-axle air suspension as standard to befit their upper-echelon status in the Velar hierarchy. The difference here, then, is that this is one of the newly introduced straight-six engines that parent company Land Rover has parachuted into the mid-sized Rangie. Inside, it looks the same as the P400e S and also benefits from all the tech/design updates Land Rover has made to the Range Rover Velar line-up for 2021, so if you want a full rundown on those then click on through to our review of the PHEV model above. ![]() This means it gains those slatted outer intakes in its front bumper, visible exhaust exits at the back of the vehicle and a set of whopping 22-inch nine-split-spoke alloys in Gloss Sparkle Silver to enhance its unquestionable aesthetic appeal. The lovely Range Rover Velar 2021MY, now in D300 MHEV R-Dynamic SE specification after our first go in the P400e plug-in hybrid as an S. ![]()
