The infotainment is an 11.4-inch unit that is curved and has been integrated into the dashboard. The luxuriousness is increased by the noise cancellation feature that the Velar comes with. It cancels out the outdoor noise and makes the cabin even more quieter. There is an air purification system also on board which comes with PM 2.5 filtration as well as CO2 management. There is wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on offer as well as a wireless charger.

For ride comfort, the Velar comes with electronic air suspension and it can increase or decrease the ride height by 40 mm while exiting or entering the SUV. This makes ingress and egress easier for the occupants. Being a Land Rover, the Range Rover comes with Terrain Response 2 system that allows the driver to adjust vehicle settings to suit the driving environment. The options to choose from are Eco, Comfort, Grass-Gravel-Snow, Mud-Ruts, Sand, Dynamic and Automatic modes. Each alters the calibration of the engine, transmission, all-wheel drive system, suspension, and stability control systems for optimum traction and composure.
