I've had mine for 4 years and have had zero problems with it. Very reliable very comfortable handles well. Awesome vehicle!

I bought a new ‘Velar’ in showroom. Due to Covid I couldn’t drive her. She’s top of the range, it’s my second RR. I absolutely adore it! It does look amazing, though it’s much longer than I realised. I do have the warning sign’s on my mirrors already inclusive on my vehicle. And dark, very dark interior. I love the big 22 inch wheel’s. If I use sport it’s too fast on our roads. So drive is great. After all the very expensive vehicles I’ve had the Velar is the best. Every time I drive it, it feel’s like the first time. Yes they are expensive, if you can’t afford it, it’s best not too purchase one! No vehicle is worth debt or stress, You have to be prepared for everything!

You posted this months ago, so you may not see this, but Outstanding Video. I have been looking at buying one for sometime now. Thank you for the honest review. On a small note, the electric cars are garbage specially in cold weather climates. at this moment in time and will be for sometime.

Great video, I actually watched some of your older videos while researching whether to buy one and after afew delays because of the chip shortage I'm happy to say I'll be able to pick up my 21MY velar in afew weeks. From the videos I've seen the new Pivi Pro system will definately improve the bugs and the speed in the old system which was probably my only concern. I went for the mild hybrid D220, firenze red, black pack, r-dynamic, pan sun roof, automatic parking, electrically reclining heated rear seats for the kids and the exact same interior as yours 👌🏽👌🏽

Nice update. I own a black D300 and absolutely love it, it’s a real head turner, black pack, R-Dynamic, retractable roof, black 22’s, retractable side steps etc…but I do worry about potential issues. I always look back when I park it, just love it.😁

I own a 2018 velar so I can speak from experience your video is spot on. I haven’t experienced the roof rack flying off and I hope I don’t but it’s good to know that for what they cost new that shouldn’t happen. I have experienced the screen locking up and it is soooo frustrating. I’ve also had problems with the radio locking up where the station currently on is the only station you can use until you turn it off for 5 minutes and the system resets. Thanks for your time to make this video it was interesting and it also let me know that others have the same problems but Range Rover service won’t acknowledge it. They always tell me we never heard of this before. Another quirk I just experienced was the remote start wouldn’t work because it said a window was open but clearly they weren’t. It was a software issue, the dealer had to reset all the limits on the windows, didn’t even know there was such a thing.

I own the velar as well 2021 . The roof rail seems like a fluke to me , I feel like it was pried up before flying off in the wind, maybe a car wash or some person looking to take it . everything else I agree with totally . Another thing is when you get into the car you feel amazing . I am 6”4 300 lbs and feel great after 7 hours of driving , super comfortable . I am an audiophile and the stereo in the car especially if you go with the upgraded one has like zero percent distortion . Everything about this car is a wet dream , the outside still looks sexy as hell and the inside is gorgeous as well. I can afford any of the Range Rover models and I decided on the velar because of its beauty , with the largest engine you have one hell of a ride .

Really appreciate your review. I've always wanted a RR but everyone I've ever mentioned it to says that I should buy two, this way I'll have one to drive while the other is in the shop!😱😳😫 Also, you have a valid point about how long it takes when roadtripping with an electric car. You need to tack on extra time. My clients who have Teslas say it's not an issue. "While you charge you can take a nap or a walk, or grab a bite to eat". But the thought of running out of 'electricity' scares the crap out of me as I live in the middle of the desert!

Love this review, thank you very much.🙏🏾❤️ The infotainment system sounds like our work database.🤦🏾‍♀️ You deserve more for the price of this car, beautiful as it is.

Absolutely loved my First Edition Velar R-Dynamic - and miss it. I appreciated the review.

I have a D240 HSE which I bought in April 2018. It only had 2000 km on the clock and now I am hitting 60. 000km. In that time it has had 2 services covered under the leasing arrangement costing around € 500 and € 700. I have had to fork out €1500 for new tyres. I have been very pleased with the car which replaced an Evoque. It. Is very comfortable with the air suspension and the D240 has more than enough power. I have had no reliability issues to date. All in all , I have been very pleased with car and still think it is the best looking SUV on the market, even after 5 years.

Great review for people wanting to know more about the Velar! Subscribed👍🏽

I have the exact same car, 2018 model. Beautiful car but so unreliable it’s frustrating! Bloody car loses performance every now and again. I don’t know how many times I’ve taken it back to Land Rover for repairs, just in 2021 🤦🏽‍♀️😭 … it it’s still under warranty! I would never buy this car again!!

Excellent review, thanks for taking the time to do it.

Bought this very same car back in March 20, I can confirm that all that’s said in this video I agree with!!! Thanks for sharing

Thanks for posting this. Really nicely made video and very useful for me as considering a used Velar just like this. PS. we have a Tesla Model 3 and regularly drive 1,000 miles to the French Alps. It only takes about an hour longer than it used to take is in an Audi A6 Allroad diesel as we stop every 2-3 hours for a short break anyway and all you do in a Tesla is charge while parked using the toilet and having a coffee. Teslas charge so fast that the extra journey time even over 1,000 miles is not much.

Nice video and you've told the truth as I'm an owner of a Velar. Fortunately, I brought mine to outside shops for oil changes/maintenance and after 3yrs, the maintenance cost is around $1K total. BTW, I had to bring mine to dealer for VVT failed, sw updated.. but all free cause they're under warranty.

First time watching your videos - love how relaxed and informative your presentation style is. Subscribed 💪🏼😁

The Velar does look amazing 🤩 thanks for sharing your pros & cons. Everything you’ve said, was very helpful information.

Nice video. I drove one as a rental because my HSE was in the shop. You are so right on the cost when these beautiful cars have to be serviced you shell your thousands $$$ on oil change, service, and if you ever experienced a misfire in your engine well even more money $$$$. When had the velar it felt like you were in a cockpit. It was okay but I was use to driving a bigger vehicle. Smaller then I like. I like the HSE because it’s taller and I sits higher. Nice car but thinking about getting a Lincoln Aviator, I’m tired of shelling out all this money on service. Love driving it, but after they serviced my engine for a misfire and I drove it 5miles down the road and it popped back on I drove it right back to the dealership pissed because I just gave them a lot of money to fix my engine and you would have thought I had it fixed by a side of the road shop. My white on white range is beautiful for a 2013 but after owing BMW & Mercedes, I had best service with Mercedes but the GLK was too small, love driving my range but hate when things go wrong $, BMW X5 I had for 10 years. We shall see🤔

Great video...very concise and to the point. You really covered the hot spots...thank you !

I agree this is a great looking car and gives you all the SUV-ness you might need without looking like a Ranulph Fiennes wannabe. All cars have issues and big 3 German marques are no different. As for tech, l hired a Mercedes E400d last year to go to Scotland and thought the Sat nav on the instrument binnacle was great, rather than the middle of the dash. Until l lost it and couldn't get it back. 300 miles later when I took it back to Avis l accidentally found it again. I prefer to get near the destination and then use my phone so cocking about with a touch screen when you're doing 70 isn't necessary.

380 HSE Velar simply the finest car I’ve ever owned

I just purchased a 2021 Velar I appreciate the review the software system has absolutely improved… I have the same interior now I’m on Amazon looking for seat covers 😭😭

Nice vid. Im considering this ride. However hearing things from you i cant imagine the kind of nightmare to own one outside UK

I like the look of the Vellar but the boot for me is not big enough with the back seats up. Boot space is critical for what I do. It would have been good to know about the fuel consumption and tyre usage and the miles he has done each year. I had an old style Discovery and did 60k miles in it and it was faultless and didnt cost a lot to service. I didnt like its replacement , looks like a jelly mould and top heavy so bought my second Audi Q7, Now 3 1/2years old . One set of tyres . two services costing approx. £350,0 each and running faultlessly. On mine no touch screen . I hate them and think they can be dangerous if you use them on the move. Next car will be a Q8 I think. The Defender looks workmanlike but is frankly too small which is a shame . The boot is narrow compared to the Disco and less roomy.

Had mine almost 3 years and have to agree on the long range trips, definitely worth having the air suspension on these. 😊

Great review. I also got the 2017 Velar and have exactly the same issue withe the electronic screen.

I just sold my 2019 velar and just book another 2022 velar cant wait to get this beauty

Great review, I’m waiting delivery of my Velar D300 HSE.

Great review. I'm actually thinking about buying a 2018 Velar. 👍

I have had my roof trim fly off while driving also! For reference, it flew off my 2017 Land Rover, Discovery Sport. I'm thinking about getting a Velar but still on the fence. I appreciate this review.

Would love to see how it's doing 5-10 years from now too. Great vid! Was thinking about buying one myself.

I bought mine in 2018 ex demo.. R dynamic S but it was upgraded as a memo. 4.5yrs later I still love it. After buying a brand new evogue in 2016 I bought a new jaguar f pace which was shit and lasted 8 months then I got the velar and I love ir

Yep I followed u since 2017🔥love the velar

very informative and helpful! Thanks brother!

Good review. Cheers bud

Congestion pay? Wow, now I’m gonna research that. Very interesting, thanks for sharing your experience 👍🏽

Thank you for the video I’m considering buying a Velar

I don’t have the money yet but I know I will own the newest model of the Range Rover velar . I will come back here to update you guys 🥳

Thank you for this long term review. Not sure we will buy after watching this. Looking at a 2022

Good man, very subtle but potent review.

Great Review!

Really love the Velar, would love to own one someday

Good vid good info

Good point about electric cars. 4,5h in a petrol car vs 9h trip in an electric one. Hope the range will increase in next 10 years because it is hard to imagine living with an EV car for now.

Well here in India Range rover service is on another level. They never asked for payments for the reasons you mentioned and were always responsive.Maybe because of JLR group being Indian and more responsive here

Honest review 👍🏻🫡

thanks for the reivew, i completely dropped the plan of buying velar now.. will go with BMW :)

It's a beautiful SUV, wish it has a fully digital odometer. For these types of high-end vehicles, I would prefer buying certified pre-own instead of paying the full price due to the fast decpreciation.

I am planning to buy one in the coming few weeks time. Is it worth taking the Extended Warranty , TLC Insurance, and the Minor Remain plans ?

Loved the way you told us...

I wish I’ll have it. It’s a nice car and very good interview. Some critics made me concerned

Awesome video thanks a bunch load

Great video, thanks. What do you think about Range Rover vs Audi Q5? 😊

Hey mate, great video. Can i ask what device do you have mounted on yoir leather dash area?

I love this car and it's one of my dream car, hope to buy it this year

Great review.

Bought a 2021 velar in Feb., traded in for a LT Trailboss truck in 2021 November. Now I am super happy that velar was in the shop 5 times in less than a year what a garbage can, but what really made me walk away was the Velar's roof lining was falling apart... like wtf its not even a year old and the roof lining its coming loose??? never again will I waste my money on a range rover. I bought my wife a 2021 Santa Fe SEL AWD, it has at least 20 more useful features than the velar's and its worth like $20k less and let me put this out there for a few more $ we got her 125k miles bumper to bumper insurance with no year limit, so if it takes you 20 years to put in 125k miles you are covered.... Range rover has become clickbait for rich people, you just buy the name.

Great car and hasn’t aged

I’m now stuck on the fence on Verla 2022, mbw x6m and Mercedes GLE . I don’t know which one to go for. What about Audi

I have a 2019 RR Vogue with the same entertainment system. the black screen happened occasionally, but buging the handfree phone is for me the biggest letdown as I work in my car. out of the blue the phine is still connected, but no sound whilst calling

Did you go for an extended warranty ? I notice even the JLR dealerships by me use third party warranty companies just charge more money for them.

Awesome video, I really appreciate it. I was thinking about buying a used one over a BMW X6. How is the overall reliability from your perspective?

shortlisted the Q5, GLC, Velar, XC60 and X3. Would love to pick the velar but super hesitant as I hear a lot of reliability issues with Jaguar Land Rover but the car looks so good compared to the rest

Hmmm Congestion charge applies to everyone, even if you drive a Mini, so not sure how relevant that is to running costs. Good video mate and lovely wheels.

What’s was the cost on this trim package when you bought it?

good review mate , would rather the range. Personal Choice

Nice information to know before buying Im in the states the same problem you have with the car we have here in the states why that is with a car costing has much as the RR line up I LOVE the Big Boy RR but out of my Budget so looking at the val in the sport either red or Blk

Great review

What brought me to this channel...my dream car

If. It beating up the car, driving too rough….how long would it take to see first issue with engine or repairs of sort…?

How much mileage can the engine take ? i am considering buying a 2011 evoque its at 168.000 kilometers

Have a 2019 Velar.. I've had the adaptive cruise stop working. After many times starting car back didn't come back but did when I got a collision warning.. Been fine since. Are you aware of an owner reset for for this problem if it should occur again?

Hello~ I am considering Velar. The dealer in my country said Land Rover only requires owners to come back every 34000 km! It's sounds too amazing! I thought it's gonna be a huge change for me since I am driving a diesel Mazda and it requires me to go back every 5000 km... due to design faults anyway. So would you please list some expenses other than oil or something simply needs to be change routinely? Thanks a lot for sharing!

great review. would you recommend getting a used 2017 velar in 2024?

Honestly after having a my EV for a while I still do lean towards my Tacoma for road trips. If I was in your boat I’d buy a base model EV and home charge it as your daily and keep your nice Range Rover.

I have had a P250 HSE R-Dynamic for 2 years now. It’s a head turner!!!. Drives superbly well. The Dynamic drive mode make high way drive awesome. I have used the other drive modes for off-road and the experience good.. I haven’t noticed this issue with infotainment possibly because I have an active data sim in the car and which pull down any new updates for the infotainment and vehicle systems for install. I will defo recommend this for anyone with one of these cars. I have unlimited data as part of my phone plan, so got a sharer sim for £10pcm which I use in the car. Yes it’s an additional cost, but just not much for what you get, you need the systems updated. Reliability, in my 2 years of having a velar, I have only taken it in once for a minor fault which was linked to the solenoid… which was sorted free within a few hours. Every vehicle has problems. I purposely didn’t take out service plan. As I didn’t think it’s cheaper and it gives me the flexibility I need with dealerships. If you want to know, My annual service is £297 inc VAT . That’s not at all expensive compared to what other top brands charge. There is nothing I hate about this car. If u are still stinking of getting one , go for it. The only thing I don’t like is the attention it brings and admirers stopping by to chat about it. Not when I’m in hurry please… lol. Electric cars? I don’t think it’s for me as yet. My husband will be the Guinea pig for our household.. If the experience is good, then yea. I can’t imagine making multiple stops on a trip to charge up a car. And for the blown off roof seal. insist LR pays for it. I will be contacting the head office the minute the dealership asked for any payments. Who cares how expensive it is for them to source a replacement, that’s their problem… it’s manufacturing fault.. manufacturer bears the cost.

Very good and to he point.

The design still looks nice after all this years.

Why does the screen flash on the info displays?

Hey what you do for living other than KZfaq that helped you have such a nice house and car? I’m just curious by inspiration. Thanks!

Great video

What’s the yearly cost on a vehicle like this? Price of an oil change? I’m in the U.S

I had this car for a year and sold it too many trips to the dealer for repair. Out of all the car models I have owned Lexus never gave me issues

Whats the average consumption gor your velar !? Which horse power yiu have ?

Would you trust it offroad? I'd like to upgrade my rig and I'll have several trips on unimproved roads. Not bouldering, though. Or maybe a Defender or Disco would be the better alternative.

Have you updated your Vehicle and Infotainment software? My Velar's infotainment screens now boots up within a couple of seconds even on a cold start (having not started the car in weeks) and even the response time is pretty fast. I still wish JLR would bring at least a Pivi Pro like theme (even if it isn't Pivi Pro itself), because its just software. If they can remove buttons and change icons, they can bring a newer theme easily

Thank you so much for your review Does it have a wireless apple play ?

Im looking to buy 2018 r dynamic 40k miles should i buy it?

Hello, I am going to pick up a 2018 Velar tomorrow that I purchased. I will be on the road for 5 hours. In my Range Rover that I am replacing I used an iPode to my audi and video. The Velar had the Meridian Suround system. How do I get my music into it? Can you connect an iPod to it? I know it has SirusXM but I prefer my own audio/video. Is there any way for me to get my music into the system? Thanks,

Hi I’m looking to purchase a used 2018 d180s, just wondering does this velar have the AUTO HOLD function?

Hi, Which dongle is best for wireless Apple CarPlay? Carlinkit 3.0 or Cplay2air?

What’s the point of the Velar when you can buy the RR sport for almost the same price or less

Great information saw your video I got a question buddy I’m also considering to buy a velar could you please tell me how many mechanical problems you have faced with this car in past 4 years and is there any other issues you got instead of that screen one and roof one. Let me know please how much are extra expenses every year on a velar❤

I drive a 2021 DiscoverySport. My roof trim also ‘went missing’.Paid full price to have it replaced. My current problem is a rattling sound coming from the roof-right hand side. It’s a very very loud rattling sound. My car is going back for the second time to have the interior roof reopened again in attempts to fix the rattling sound. I am sooooo disappointed with this car and general service by this particular dealer.

Great review. I think the freezing screen and blown-away trim shows how poor the quality control this car has, not to mention that companies like BMW offers 4 years 50k mile warranty on everything including free maintenance.

Great video. A beautiful car indeed. By the way, what is the colour of the car? Is it a Solid Fuji White or Ostuni Pearl White? I am planning to buy a Plug-in Hybrid version of the Velar.

how is the roof rail not a free warranty issue? i just got a brand new discovery sport 2022 myself. scared for big service prices

Just have a one question for you answer with yes or no . Was it easy to live with as in easy to maintain?
