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.
