4:40 Land Rover is vague about AWD 7:00 Fun to drive, too dependent on screen, no switches 11:00 Midsize SUV, not compact 15:00 Off road

@sam-yau Ай бұрын

One day they’ll add chapters to their videos 😅

@Trades46 Ай бұрын

Strangely enough the Velar is one of the best looking luxury SUVs. That said, in typical Range Rover fashion, this is a lease only car.

@SentinelIXK Ай бұрын

Your show brings me so much joy! It reminds me of the car shows I used to love on cable. I mean that in all sincerity, as a compliment. Such a great formula.

@anatoleboivin Ай бұрын

I'm currently living with a Land Rover Freelander and it is really nice but if I was gonna go for another car it will be a Velar : good looking, really good on road (where a vast majority of owner will spend 98 % of their time anyway) and pretty capable off road...what a nice car. PS : love yours videos and Merry Christmas from France!

@martinzwaan2721 Ай бұрын

Decent off-road review thanks. From the reviews I've seen by actual owners of these cars these things are actually pretty reliable too. All the haters gonna hate regardless of experience.

@DanielVock Ай бұрын

One of the best I follow - super knowledgeable, full and honest information and finally very sympathetic

Merry Christmas Ryan to you, your family and your crew. Seems we are going to have a rainy one vs snow, cold and or icy one. Even our Mt. is taking it easy this holiday. Have a good one!

@aimlesslydriven Ай бұрын

I used to have a lifted Disco Sport and it was very capable. I have the Disco 5 and for some reason I felt more secure and capable in the Disco Sport when doing harder off road trails. The Land Rover Terrain Response in non low range and locker based Rovers is excellent in my opinion. In my Disco 5, I rarely engage the low range or locker.

@chandler5014 Ай бұрын

I know I'm in the minority on this but I actually don't mind having no buttons. I love the minimalist design, how easy it is to clean, and in my car (Model Y) I just use voice commands for everything

@supriyasou3722 Ай бұрын

People just need to complain. There’s that lady from motor mouth channel who complains about not having gearshift levers in some cars. Like how often do you use a gear known in a modern aromatic for it to consume so much space?! It’s hard for people to think logically.

@mallninja12 7 күн бұрын

Because when people are off roading/actually driving, we want tactile buttons that we can easily find and press. Not having to smash at some junky touch screen to try to navigate off road modes while were concentrating on driving.

@Ken-vt2yx Ай бұрын

Thank you Ryan for another terrific review. This channel is the best on KZbin. I am looking forward to your 2025 reviews of the new Toyota 4Runner and Honda Passport TrailSport. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Setting the ICE vs EV debate aside, the Rivian R1S seems to be a heck of a lot more value than this

@K.L.A.S Ай бұрын

No it's the only debate. EVs for the win. I think the Rivian doesn't have to do much to be better than any range Rover. They are overpriced turds on wheels, (mostly) driven by obnoxious turds with a superiority complex.

@Coloradohiker658 Ай бұрын

At that price, I would just get the Lexus GX 550. Happy Holidays

@the_king0749 Ай бұрын

I went to the L.A. Auto show and noticed the door control buttons on some makes and models are getting tiny. Have you noticed ?

@mattheviewer Ай бұрын

Seems decent though I really wonder how reliable it will be. Sadly, the '26 Subaru Outback upper trims will also join the large wheel/skinny tire crowd, along with its boxy Forester-like profile.

@EZEKIELELIKEMDJAAH-FITZ Ай бұрын

For 82k I would get a Lexus GX which is a proper off-road vehicle

I don’t understand why it’s become so common to bring up whether or not you can sleep in the car. Is it because they’ve become so expensive they expect people to live in them?

At least it has spare tires and it's a shame it lost the reduction gear.

@davidmahan4160 Ай бұрын

The Velar is not an off-road vehicle. It's a luxury conveyance for rich folk to drive from their London Chelsea townhouse. To their country estate. The old farmers' workhorse is long gone. There's more profit in these luxury fashion statements.

@Bcp69 Ай бұрын

Having 4wd and a low range gear is how I generally differentiate an off-road vehicle from those that are not. This is not.

@MariktheWolf 3 күн бұрын

id def get this over a subaru...because they have those awful CVTs and i despise them...nissan seems to be getting the message...it would be nice to get all car makers away from them awful rubber band gearboxes and go with the zf 8 or 9 speeds...the 8 speed ik for a fact are bulletproof...

@BigGyz680 Ай бұрын

Can’t find any specs on the Land Rovers…; because it was designed and engineered when it was owned by Ford prior to the brand’s sale, Just like the 2.0 turbo engine in the Évoque and other LRJ, the original was 3.0 v6 supercharged vs turbo version of the ecoboost, look no further than the Lincoln aviator/Ford Explorer to see the dna….

@marcloveall Ай бұрын

Ryan I have looked for an email address to message you but cannot find one. Myself and my husband have a 2024 Tesla Model Y Performance and would like to lend it to you for testing. Reach out to me in this comment and let me know where to email you with personal information to make this happen. So you already know it’s a 2024 Model Y Performance and it has the Michelin Pilot sport AS 4’s I believe

Thanks for the offer. Due to liability concerns we don't test viewer vehicles.

Is it just me or does the rear end look like Honda Prologue?

@iwazaru8101 Ай бұрын

If it does, then the Prologue copied the Velar. The latter has been in production since 2017.

@TinLeadHammer Ай бұрын

"No low range, just a normal 8-speed automatic transmission" - with eight gears the first and maybe the second can be low range.

@ALMX5DP Ай бұрын

Certainly can be an aggressive 1st or 2nd ratio but definitely not a replacement for a low range transfer case.

Technically could. Few rarely do.

Although newer range rovers are genuinely junk to someone who wants to work on their own vehicles, I find the velar is a gorgeous SUV. Considering it was released in 2017, the car still doesn’t look dated.
