The Range Rover Velar has achieved a five-star Euro NCAP rating, confirming one of the world’s most desirable luxury SUVs as among the safest too.<\/p>\n
The fourth member of the Range Rover family scored 93 percent for adult occupant protection, 85 percent for child occupant protection, and 74 percent for pedestrian protection.<\/p>\n
Velar features a comprehensive suite of safety systems, including Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection. The advanced technology can detect a collision risk with cars or pedestrians in the road ahead and automatically apply the brakes. The system was awarded a maximum of six marks in the Pedestrian detection tests by Euro NCAP\u2019s testers.<\/p>\n
Nick Rogers, Executive Director, Product Engineering, Jaguar Land Rover, said: \u201cThe light, stiff, and exceptionally strong aluminum-intensive body provides the foundation for a five-star Euro NCAP score. Allied to pioneering suspension technology and a comprehensive range of driver assistance systems, the new Range Rover Velar is not just one of the most beautiful SUVs in the world \u2013 it\u2019s also one of the safest.\u201d<\/p>\n
By combining strong crash protection with advanced active safety systems, the Velar helps drivers avoid accidents while providing excellent security to mitigate a collision’s effects if the worst does happen.<\/p>\n
Euro NCAP\u2019s findings state: \u201cTests of the autonomous emergency braking system at highway speeds demonstrated good performance, with collisions avoided or mitigated in all tests. In both the side barrier test and the more severe side pole impact, protection of all critical body areas was good, and the Range Rover Velar scored maximum points.\u201d<\/p>\n
Range Rover Velar secured an overall Euro NCAP rating of 83 percent and is available with an all-star cast of advanced driver assistance systems, including:<\/p>\n
Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection uses a forward-facing stereo camera to determine if a collision is imminent \u2013\u00a0full braking is triggered automatically to avoid collisions altogether or mitigate the effects.\u00a0Reverse Traffic Detection uses radar to monitor vehicles approaching from either side when reversing.<\/p>\n
An orange warning illuminates in the door mirrors to alert the driver to any potential danger.<\/p>\n
Matrix-Laser LED headlights extend the range of full beam to 550 meters. The Adaptive Front Lighting system matches the light beam to the steering wheel angle, while the matrix technology selectively dims individual LEDs to maintain optimum light distribution without dazzling oncoming traffic<\/p>\n
Lane Keep Assist\u00a0detects unintentional lane drift and applies corrective counter-steering to maintain lane position<\/p>\n
Driver Condition Monitor\u00a0senses driver fatigue by monitoring steering, brake, and accelerator inputs to alert when tiredness is detected.<\/p>\n
Intelligent Speed Limiter\u00a0adjusts the vehicle speed when entering new speed limit zones.<\/p>\n
Traffic Sign Recognition\u00a0informs the driver of the current speed limit using the driver\u2019s message center instrumentation screen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
