Another new feature of the new Velar 2023 is the state-of-the-art Active Road Noise Cancellation technology . This ensures that the interior of the SUV is quieter thanks to technology that detects external frequencies and automatically emits a compensating sound through the audio system to reduce overall noise levels in the cabin to a minimum of 4 dB.

The offering includes the latest generation of Ingenium diesel engines with 48-volt Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) technology that increases both efficiency and power, while providing access to the DGT's ECO badge.

The offer includes a 3.0-liter, in-line six-cylinder Ingenium D300 diesel engine delivering 300 hp of power and 650 Nm of torque, as well as a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine (D200) developing 204 hp of power.
