Cabin Air Purification Plus is also making its debut in the Range Rover Velar. Building on the existing Cabin Air Ionisation with PM2.5 filtration, the new system optimises cabin air quality by automatically introducing fresh external air when sensors detect CO₂ levels fall outside of acceptable levels.

Another new air quality feature for 2021 is the Purify Cycle feature, which allows users to schedule an air cleaning cycle inside the vehicle.

This is achieved via the climate control system's fans and recirculation function, which runs as part of climate pre-conditioning. The driver can simply set a departure time using the Land Rover Remote App, or via the infotainment system, to automatically schedule a Climate Pre-conditioning and Purify Cycle, ensuring the cabin air is cleaned and not stale before any journey.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist are also new with the update, enhancing driver comfort on long motorway journeys by gently assisting steering, acceleration and braking to centre the vehicle in lane while maintaining a set distance from vehicles ahead. The feature is fitted as standard to HSE models and is available as part of the Driver Assist Pack.

Self-sealing tyres have also been introduced as a new offering. The feature works using an integrated layer within the tyre which creates an airtight seal over a penetrating object - allowing a customer to continue their journey unaffected.

A software over-the-air update is also coming to the Range Rover Velar in 2021, which will enable wireless Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto for all Pivi and Pivi Pro equipped models.
