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!

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 .

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 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.

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!

Teslas charge so fast that the extra journey time even over 1,000 miles is not much.

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.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I also have a Mercedes A Class which I've had for around 10 years now, and it's still going strong - so its a shame the amount of service and maintenance costs you have to shell out for a range rover. My guess is that because they classify it as an upper-class premium vehicle, they assume everyone buying it can easily afford the $$$$ prices to maintain it, because they essentially won't have any other option, especially after paying so much for the car itself.

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.

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....

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.

Hi Alex - Overall, I would say its been very reliable for me. I've had minimal issues, even though there are small things here and there, like I mentioned in my negative points, but apart from that, the drive has always been great and have not had any engine, breakdown or other issues that would make me regret having this car.

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!
@TrendingReviews2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment! I don't have much engine problems for the last 4 years. I just get yearly service and thats it. Nothing else needs to be changed routinely. So its good on that part!

FYI as a recent buyer of the Velar R Dynamic, I can tell you Land Rover does over the same 4yr 50k, which ever comes first with the option to purchase an additional 50k or 3yrs. This is bumper to bumper. However, BMW does rate better with the free maintenance package.

As a owner of the Velar, bought in the studio as I swapped my RR HSE which was amazing. I decided time for a change. I can only speak for myself & say I can’t imagine many vehicles to be as special as the Velar, compared to other vehicles in the same price range! I had a BMW & though I’m sure they are great vehicles it’s just a personal choice & I prefer mine. It’s great to read the different comments & choices!

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.
@TrendingReviews2 жыл бұрын
Hi - thank you for sharing your experience with this car! It was very nice to read! Can I ask - that annual service plan you have, was that quoted specifically part of any deal when you purchased the car? I did have a data sim with pretty much unlimited data on it too - but I stopped using it ever since I switched to using CarPlay, because that uses data directly from my phone and had no need for the car data sim card anymore.
@mgbeke2 жыл бұрын
@@TrendingReviews From previous experience I didn’t go with service plan this time. I pay for my service on the day which turns out cheaper. I did make enquiries directly with Land Rover to advise what my service will cost should I pay myself on the day of service. It’s a money saver. Just a warning. My dealership initially charged double what I was advised on the phone when I went to collect my car which I disputed immediately there and interestingly, my bill was halved :). For the 2nd service I asked for a price confirmation during booking via text which sorted any unnecessary price hikes at the dealership.

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.

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
