ALL WHEEL DRIVE WITH

INTELLIGENT DRIVELINE DYNAMICS

Range Rover Velar’s All Wheel Drive (AWD) with Intelligent

Driveline Dynamics (IDD) fitted as standard delivers both

outstanding on-road performance and the full off-road capability

expected of a Range Rover. Working together, AWD with IDD

continually optimises the engine torque distribution to the front

and rear wheels to ensure maximum traction and fuel efficiency

in all road and weather conditions. Uniquely developed to meet

Range Rover Velar’s requirements, the highly durable transfer box

uses an electro-mechanically activated multi-plate wet clutch to

deliver smooth and precise distribution to the front and rear wheels.

This ensures the constant optimisation is imperceptible from the

cabin and available engine torque is maximised to give efficient

vehicle traction.

IDD determines the required distribution by continually monitoring

the vehicle and its interaction with the road. Typically starting with

a 50:50 distribution to ensure maximum controlled stability from

the first vehicle movement, the system has the full capability of

100 percent rear bias to 100 percent front bias should road

conditions require it. Predictive, as well as reactive, the system

helps prevent losing traction as well as working to regain it.

REFINED PERFORMANCE

Range Rover Velar‘s drive is supremely confident, connected and effortlessly delivered thanks

to a carefully engineered suite of technologies.

Vehicle shown is R-Dynamic HSE in Silicon Silver with optional panoramic roof,

Black contrast roof and 22" 9 split-spoke ‘Style 9007‘ wheels with Diamond Turned finish.

LOW TRACTION CONDITIONS

On slippery surfaces, such as wet grass and snow,

torque can be balanced between the front and

rear wheels to maximise traction. In extreme

conditions where only the front wheels have

traction, up to 100 percent of engine torque

can be distributed to the front wheels for

optimum grip.

HIGH TRACTION CONDITIONS

On smooth, dry surfaces, Range Rover Velar

provides intelligent torque distribution to the

rear wheels for the most efficient drive as well

as delivering precise agility and handling.

TORQUE VECTORING BY BRAKING

Torque Vectoring by Braking delivers controlled,

responsive cornering by reducing near-limit

understeer through controlled braking of the

inside wheels.
