"Initially, the entire Houston real estate industry froze. Nobody was ready to buy or sell anything for weeks. Those who flooded faced a long haul ahead, with all the attendant anguish and tough decisions about their path forward. Meanwhile, buyers were nervous, and communities people had been eager to buy into previously were suddenly less appealing."

Front and center are the two high-definition 10-inch touchscreens which make up the new InControl Touch Pro Duo infotainment system1. The thin capacitive polycarbonate precisely follows the subtle curvature of the instrument panel for seamless, perfectly flush surface integration. Incorporating the Terrain Response® and Terrain Response® 2 controls into Touch Pro Duo eliminates the traditional dial and hard buttons, creating extra space in the center console and further emphasizing the visually-reductive approach that drives every aspect of the vehicle’s design1.

Customers can also interact with the Velar remotely – from anywhere in the world. The InControl Remote app allows the owner to lock and unlock their vehicle, check how much fuel is in the tank or where the vehicle is parked using a smartphone or smartwatch. It’s even possible to start the engine and set the climate control system remotely.

Customers can also specify an optional integrated Rear Seat Entertainment system which features two 8-inch HD touchscreens in true 15:9 widescreen format, two remote controls and two sets of WhiteFire-connected wireless headphones for rear passengers.

A tranquil waterfall and rock garden meanders its way to the vibrant landscaping and peaceful 1.1-acre setting that encompass this exceptional colonial located in North Haven’s highly sought-after Blue Hills area. Owners will enjoy the convenient location on a cul-de-sac, close to major highways with great views of Sleeping Giant.

Even in terms of quality, the Honor 8C’s display is just about okay. By default, its color temperature appears to be a bit on the warmer side, but that can be changed under the display settings. The display is usable under direct sunlight, provided you crank up the brightness all the way up to maximum. On the plus side though, color reproduction and viewing angles are quite nice!

–      A towing capacity of up to 5,500 lbs in six-cylinder models is complemented by the available Advanced Tow Assist function – instead of directly steering the vehicle when backing up, the driver can aim where they want the trailer to go using the Touch Pro Duo rotary controller, and the vehicle determines what steering inputs are needed to direct the trailer where required 2

First featured on the Land Rover Discovery, the Advanced Tow Assist function offered on the Range Rover Velar is designed to assist drivers in performing potentially difficult reversing maneuvers with an attached trailer. Instead of steering and counter steering as normal, the driver simply guides the trailer into position using the infotainment system’s rotary controller and the Advanced Tow Assist system calculates all necessary steering inputs2.

Most mid-range smartphones these days come with either metallic or glass casings, which is why the Honor 8C struck me as a bit of an oddity the moment I held it in my hand for the first time. It is made from plastic (or maybe polycarbonate?), but that’s not a bad thing at all. The 8C is a well-built smartphone, and one that has a solid in-hand feel. The plastic construction also helps in keeping the weight of the smartphone under control. Weighing in at 167 grams, the 8C feels surprisingly light for a smartphone with a 4,000mAh cell (more on this later) packed inside.
