PERFORMANCE AND CAPABILITY
Vehicles shown are 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.
ACTIVE LOCKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL
The Active Locking Rear Differential** ensures the greatest level of traction in all
weather conditions both on and off-road.
A typical open differential transfers equal torque to the driven wheels meaning
that if one wheel slips then torque transfer to the other wheel is also limited,
which reduces traction. Whereas, Range Rover Velar’s All Wheel Drive (AWD)
with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD)
†
and Electronic Traction Control (ETC)
†
,
both fitted as standard, go two steps further by distributing torque to both the
front and the rear wheels, and by braking the wheels independently to improve
traction respectively. The addition of the Active Locking Rear Differential delivers
the ultimate combination to maximise traction through limiting slip across the
rear wheels.
A second multi-plate wet clutch between the rear wheels can lock almost instantly
to provide full engine output torque to both wheels. This can be especially useful
to deliver effortless capability in low grip conditions such as patchy ice, wet grass or
during wheel articulation off-road. It also provides maximum traction when exiting
a corner, as when the inside wheel becomes unloaded due to weight transfer, the
Active Locking Rear Differential increases the torque to the outside wheel.
