Most exclusive of all these is the Velar First Edition, which I had the opportunity to test drive. The Range Rover Velar First Edition production is limited to approximately 500 units in the U.S. and is available for only one model-year.

The Range Rover Velar First Edition is powered by a 380 hp supercharged V-6 gasoline engine mated to an 8-speed ZF transmission.
It has a compelling exterior design with a very attractive silhouette. The exterior design includes segment-first flush deployable door handles on all four doors, which protrude when the doors are unlocked. The flush deployable door handles contribute to a coefficient of drag of only 0.32Cd, making it the most aerodynamically-efficient Land Rover ever produced.
The First Edition features a black contrast roof and a sliding panoramic roof, and is equipped with 22-inch 9 split-spoke wheels, which gives it a very aggressive stance.
Other distinctive exterior features include full LED headlights with signature daytime running lights that combine a distinctive design with highly practical capabilities. The full-LED headlights are the most slender ever to appear on a production Land Rover vehicle.
Driving at night or in poor visibility is made easier by Auto High Beam Assist, which automatically dips the high beam when oncoming traffic is detected, reverting to its full height when vehicles have passed.
