The Range Rover Velar launched in 2017 as Land Rover's mid-size premium SUV on the D7a aluminium monocoque platform — positioned between the Range Rover Evoque below and the Range Rover Sport above in the Land Rover hierarchy. The Velar's design language introduced the flush-glass 'reductive' aesthetic (deployable door handles, flush side-glass, minimal bumper detailing) that was carried forward into the fifth-generation Range Rover L460. Donor coverage across the Velar range: P250 (2.0 turbocharged inline-4), P340 / P400 inline-6 Ingenium petrol with 48V mild-hybrid, P400e PHEV (2.0 I4 + electric, 404 hp combined, 50 km EV-only range), P300d inline-6 diesel, and the limited-run Velar SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition (2019-2020, 5.0 supercharged V8 AJ133, 550 hp / 680 Nm, 0-100 km/h 4.5 s — the only V8 Velar ever produced, built as a 2,000-unit total production run through the Special Vehicle Operations programme). The 2024 facelift brought revised front-end Matrix-LED headlamps, a new front grille graphic and revised rear light bar. The Mansory programme covers the entire 2017-2024 production range including the 2024 facelift.
The Velar is the mid-size Land Rover in the Mansory catalogue — between the compact-coupé Evoque, the Defender 110 (utility-heritage), the Range Rover Sport SVR L494 (performance-SUV outgoing), the Range Rover Sport SVR L461 (new-gen performance-SUV) and the flagship Range Rover L460. Velar commissions skew toward buyers who want the Range Rover badge and the flush-glass design language but at a smaller and more urban-packageable footprint than the Sport or the flagship Range Rover. The Mansory programme preserves that urban premium positioning — the conversion is narrow-body (no +mm track-width extension) and leans into visible-carbon cabin-adjacent elements (front bumper, bonnet, skirts, rear diffuser) rather than aggressive wide-body aesthetic.
Material: PU-RIM with visible carbon weave as standard; full dry-carbon upgrade available. Install runs five to six shop days. The programme preserves factory deployable door handles, factory flush-side-glass articulation, factory Matrix-LED adaptive high-beam function (facelift), and factory Terrain Response 2 off-road driving mode sensor housings.
P250: 2.0 turbo inline-4 Ingenium, 250 hp / 365 Nm. P340: 3.0 inline-6 Ingenium + 48V EQ Boost, 340 hp / 480 Nm. P400: 3.0 inline-6 Ingenium + 48V, 400 hp / 550 Nm (current flagship non-V8). P400e PHEV: 2.0 I4 + 105 kW electric + 17.1 kWh battery, 404 hp combined, 50 km EV-only range (market-dependent availability). P300d / D300: inline-6 diesel, 300 hp. Velar SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition (2019-2020 only, 2,000 units global): 5.0 supercharged V8 AJ133 (shared engine family with Range Rover Sport SVR L494), 550 hp / 680 Nm, 0-100 km/h 4.5 s, top 274 km/h, upgraded suspension, upgraded brakes, revised front bumper graphic with functional air intakes. The Mansory programme is bodywork only. Mansory P400 / P340 stage-1 tune is available as a separate workshop SKU and raises output by 40-50 hp. SVAutobiography V8 stage-1 raises the AJ133 to approximately 620 hp.
Factory Velar ships on 20"/21" wheels; SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition on 22" factory forged. Mansory's forged offering is 22" as standard Velar commission choice; 23" is available on P400 / SVAutobiography commissions. The Velar's air-spring suspension accommodates the upsize cleanly at factory normal ride height. Tyre spec: Continental CrossContact, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV, Pirelli Scorpion. Full forged-wheel range at Hodoor forged wheels.
The Velar commission book tracks urban-premium SUV geography with a distinctly different footprint from the Range Rover Sport / flagship Range Rover:
UK home-market. Solihull / West Midlands (Land Rover's home region), London (Mayfair, Chelsea, Notting Hill, Kensington — the Velar is particularly visible in London's town-car set), Surrey / Berkshire, Edinburgh. UK Velar commissions are the single largest volume in the European Mansory Velar book — the Velar is a UK design-led product and UK commissions dominate the programme.
Europe. Italy (Milan, Rome), France (Paris, Monaco), Germany (Munich, Berlin, Düsseldorf — less dominant than UK on Velar), Switzerland (Zurich, Geneva), Netherlands (Amsterdam), Belgium (Brussels).
Gulf and USA. UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait. Gulf Velar commissions are smaller-volume than UK — Gulf buyers typically prefer the larger flagship Range Rover L460 or the Range Rover Sport SVR for SUV commissions. USA commissions concentrate in LA / Beverly Hills and NYC-metro — Velar is a known LA design-community favourite.
Asia. China (the Velar carries a strong China-market identity), Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Thailand. Russia / CIS Velar commissions route through the Tsar programme.
The Velar sits alongside the Evoque, the Defender 110, the Range Rover Sport SVR L494 (outgoing-gen performance SUV), the Range Rover Sport SVR L461 (new-gen BMW-V8), the Range Rover Sport SV and the flagship Range Rover L460.
Full Velar kit: five to six weeks from the workshop. Dry-carbon upgrade: adds one to two weeks. Stage-1 tune (P340 / P400 / SVAutobiography): two weeks. 22" / 23" forged wheel set: four weeks. Email [email protected] or WhatsApp +44 7488 818747 with your VIN, the Velar trim (P250 / P340 / P400 / P400e / P300d / SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition), confirm pre-facelift or 2024-facelift model year, the kit scope, material tier, wheel size, tune preference and OEM Land Rover paint code.
Does the kit fit both pre-facelift and 2024-facelift Velar?
Yes. The front bumper is calibrated against both the 2017-2023 pre-facelift front-end geometry and the 2024 facelift Matrix-LED headlamp housing. The rear bumper is dimensioned against the 2024 facelift revised rear light bar without SKU split.
Does the SVAutobiography V8 variant need a dedicated kit?
Front bumper and bonnet are common with base Velar geometry. The rear bumper on SVAutobiography carries a specific quad-tip exhaust layout that requires a dedicated rear-bumper SKU variant — Mansory offers the SVAutobiography rear bumper SKU as a commission option at order time. All other kit parts (bonnet, skirts, fender flares) are common with base Velar.
Are deployable door handles preserved?
Yes. The Mansory carbon side-skirt does not affect door-handle deployment geometry. The flush-glass side-window articulation continues at factory function. Mirror-cap SKU includes the deployable-handle-sensor wiring pass-through unchanged.
Is the P400e PHEV rear-axle battery geometry affected?
No. The 17.1 kWh battery pack sits under the rear passenger floor and does not intersect rear bumper geometry. The rear bumper SKU for P400e is common with P400 / P340 — the PHEV-specific charge-port location (rear-quarter panel) is preserved.
Is the Velar a good Mansory candidate given its urban-premium rather than performance-SUV positioning?
The Velar commission profile typically leans toward visible-weave restrained scope rather than aggressive wide-body. Owners who want a more aggressive-looking Range Rover Mansory build typically commission the Range Rover Sport SV or the Range Rover L460. Velar Mansory commissions value the carbon finish detail and the 22" forged upgrade over the widened-track visual language of the performance-SUV builds.
