2023 Range Rover Velar gets HST top trim with 395-hp I6:
, Land Rover started with the R-Dynamic S model and fitted a 3.0-liter straight-six that relies on a turbocharger and an electric supercharger to develop 395 horsepower from 5,500 to 6,500 rpm and 405 pound-feet of torque between 2,000 and 5,000 rpm.
