Range Rover Velar generations
Range Rover Velar (2017–2023)
The original Velar appeared in 2017. The photos show a 2017 First Edition and a P400e photographed at Auto Zürich in 2021. They illustrate this period and do not show the car currently for sale.
The Velar name refers back to the pre-production Range Rovers of 1969. The production model became the 4th member of the Range Rover range.
Its 2018 World Car Design of the Year award highlights its design. But the condition of a used car must be judged on its records, equipment and a test drive.
For a P400e from this period, do not automatically use the specs of the facelift version. The stated electric range before the facelift is 53 km, compared with up to 64 km afterwards. Ask for the vehicle records, warranties and charging history.
Then compare the information with official documents.
Range Rover Velar facelift (from 2023)
The 2023 facelift brings a new grille and Pixel LED headlights. It adds a single 11.4-inch curved touchscreen and active road noise cancellation. The photo illustrates the facelift Velar. The presence and operation of equipment must be checked on each car.
The P400e combines a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor. Together they produce 404 hp and 640 Nm, with 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 s.
The 19.2 kWh battery allows up to 64 km of electric driving and an electric speed of 140 km/h. These figures describe the version. They do not establish the condition of its battery.
On a 50 kW rapid charger, Land Rover quotes 0 to 80% in about 30 min. AC charging is stated at 7 kW, from 0 to 100% in 2.5 h. Check the cables supplied and whether they work with your setup. Test that charging works before buying.
Other powertrains include P250, P340, the six-cylinder mild-hybrid P400, D200 and D300. The car identified on 80k is a 2025 P400e Dynamic SE, not a petrol or diesel version with a different designation.
The full name helps avoid comparisons between cars that do not share the same mechanical components.
What to check before buying in Switzerland
Battery health and charging history
Ask for a traction battery check and the available information on its use and charging. A range displayed during a viewing is not a diagnosis on its own. Have warnings explained and request a test drive that includes electric driving and charging.
Charging cables supplied
Check the cables supplied with the car, their condition and their compatibility with your equipment. Have the charging socket checked and ask for a charging demonstration. A cable in the boot is not enough to confirm that it works correctly.
Manufacturer and battery warranties
Ask for the written terms of the manufacturer and battery warranties. Check if they can pass to you and what they exclude. Check the first registration and service history. Do not assume that a recent or imported car automatically benefits from the same warranties.
Software updates
Have updates and any messages relating to the hybrid system or screen checked. Test the advertised functions during the viewing. Ask for documents covering work already carried out and have any fault clarified before buying.
Cantonal taxation of plug-in hybrids
Taxation of a plug-in hybrid varies by canton. Ask the relevant authority in your canton for the current rules. Assess the costs for your own situation. Do not automatically apply the seller's tax situation to your future registration.
Tyres suited to Swiss winters
Check the type, condition and age of the tyres, along with any winter equipment supplied. The drivetrain and driving aids are no substitute for suitable tyres. Also check that the fitted sizes match the vehicle documents.
MFK inspection and vehicle records
Consult the MFK inspection report, the official Swiss roadworthiness test, or the relevant cantonal documents. Cross-check the mileage, invoices and history. An official inspection is no substitute for a battery check and a mechanical inspection before purchase.
