The Ingenium family in the Velar

The Velar spans a wider Ingenium range than most models on this site, from four-cylinder 2.0-litre petrol and diesel units up to the 3.0-litre straight-six, with outputs running from 178 bhp on the entry D180 diesel up to 394 bhp on the six-cylinder mild-hybrid P400 petrol. The four-cylinder units are the volume engines in the range and respond consistently well to Stage 1 calibration, while the six-cylinder derivative carries more headroom again given its larger displacement and factory state of tune.

Stage 1 across the range is a software-only recalibration of fuelling, boost and ignition strategy.

Why Velar remapping needs a specialist

The Velar sits at the more refined end of the Land Rover range, positioned as much on ride quality and cabin experience as outright pace, and that changes what a good calibration needs to deliver. The improvement owners notice most isn't a dramatic top-end power jump, it's sharper throttle response and stronger mid-range pull in normal driving, exactly where the factory map is at its most conservative. Getting that right on an Ingenium engine means understanding the specific state of tune your Velar's variant runs, not applying a single generic file across four-cylinder and six-cylinder cars alike.

Samuel Gunnell develops every Velar calibration from a baseline pull taken on your own car, checking how the specific engine and gearbox pairing responds before the new map is written, rather than starting from an assumption about what a “typical” Ingenium unit will do. This vehicle is remapped in person, via Kess3 or CMD, at our Eccles facility only.

Every service available on the Velar

Stage 1 is available across the full Ingenium range fitted to the Velar. Stage 2 is available on suitable variants where supporting hardware is fitted, and we'll advise honestly on whether it's worth pursuing. An economy-focused remap is available for owners who want lower running costs on longer journeys. Gearbox recalibration is available alongside the engine map on automatic models. Standalone rolling road sessions are available for a baseline pull or a post-modification check.

Gearbox

The Velar is offered exclusively with an automatic transmission, and a gearbox recalibration alongside the engine remap is a genuinely worthwhile addition rather than an afterthought on this car. Shift points can be adjusted to hold gears longer under load or change down more decisively when the driver asks for it, and hesitation between ratios at part throttle, a common complaint on the standard calibration, is reduced. On the six-cylinder derivative in particular, sharper transmission response makes the extra torque available lower down feel far more usable in everyday driving rather than arriving with a delay through the gearbox.

Frequently asked questions

Is Stage 2 available on the Ingenium engine?
Stage 2 is available on suitable Velar variants where supporting hardware is fitted. We'll assess your specific car's engine and condition before recommending it.
Do you remap the gearbox alongside the engine?
Yes. Gearbox recalibration is available on automatic Velar models, sharpening shift response and reducing hesitation under load, and it's commonly carried out in the same visit as the engine remap.
How long does a Velar remap take?
Most Stage 1 sessions, including baseline pull, calibration and verification runs, are completed within a few hours. We'll confirm exact timing for your specific engine variant when you book.
Will the remap affect the four-wheel-drive system?
No. The remap recalibrates the engine's fuelling, boost and ignition strategy. The four-wheel-drive system distributes that power as normal, and testing on our 4WD Bapro dyno confirms the two work together correctly.
Do you cover the four-cylinder and six-cylinder variants equally?
Yes. Both the four-cylinder Ingenium units and the six-cylinder derivative are supported, with the calibration built specifically around whichever engine your Velar has.
