The lower screen is best devoted to climate controls, managing the heated and massaging seats or other vehicles settings such as driving modes and suspension height.

The default layout does provide a clarity of options for access to entertainment media, a Bluetooth connected phone or satellite navigation. This top screen is the primary display, and is highly customisable to owner preference, the layout can be set and a variety of wallpapers can be selected from to give some personalisation. We did not “test” this out, but the result would be awkward when the screen needs to recess back. But we have to wonder what the result would be if a pen, or other similar object, slipped behind that gap between dash and screen. The top central screen is pure touch and pops up to an (adjustable) more vertical position when the car is started, this is impressive, allowing the best possible place for the Velar’s camera systems (both reversing and 360-degree). This is mitigated by the screen customisation options, so not too much of an issue. Some further UI refinement could simplify some of the ways features are accessed and presented. Touchscreens do abound, however, along with the resulting finger oil slicks, and unfortunately JLR has not yet mastered the User Interface (UI), so at times the little icon target space results in miss-pokes of the system. Being able to dial-up selections, rather than continually poking a glossy touch-screen all the time, with the resulting finger marks, is quite refreshing. In particular, the fusion of control dials (including a very welcome physical volume knob) and the lower central screen is quite spiffy. Let’s begin with the obvious aesthetics, the two central 10.0-inch screens coupled with the dash screen, satellite steering wheel clusters and general lavish look of the Velar’s interior oozes sumptuousness.

It’s optioned up with everything bar heads-up display – and in this update we’ll take a closer look at the Touch Pro Duo infotainment set-up. There is a lot going on with the technology in our long-term Land Rover Range Rover Velar.
