Not sure which RR you people have, if any, but mine has been perfect from day 1. Going on 5 years now

[@florence1395]

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!

[@MrAnderson321]

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.😁

How many times have you been in service with your car ?

[@makingmoney8405]

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 .

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.

[@tonydhillon4486]

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 👌🏽👌🏽

[@TrendingReviews]

Hey Tony - That actually sounds like a real beast you've ordered! Nice! Yeah the Pivi Pro system is pretty crap tbh, and I don't expect they will be able to upgrade me to the Pivi Pro system anytime soon, but the workaround I have is to simply use Apple CarPlay for everything, which I do, and its generally faster and nicer to use - so if you do the same, I wouldn't worry too much about their in-built system. Good luck!!

[@JohnS-um3lm]

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.

Great review! I own a 2019 Velar. Love the looks...red with black. You're so right about the infotainment system and how it freezes or locks up sometimes. Also about the large expenses to maintain the vehicle! Also just spent $2K on 4 new tires. Also had to replace fuel pump at $1,200. Vehicle has a great smooth ride. Looks good. Basically satisfied with the vehicle now and only have 35K miles on it. Not sure how long i will keep it or what next vehicle will be. Love the looks of Range Rovers.

[@KM-lz2ch]

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!

[@Fityours]

@@TrendingReviews I know the feeling! I am glad they were able to come to a reasonable resolution with you, interacting with the dealership with things such as these can be a pain. The first time it happened, they ordered and installed free of charge. The second time (yes it happened twice lol), I kept calling and they were always in the process of ordering...Fast forward past all the back and forth, I was told the rack is on back order and they will call me instead when the part arrives. May 2022, will make two years since I was told this and not a word in regards to the rack. I left it alone and decided I will have to purchase myself and get it installed. I have recently seen them online for $185 USD.

[@TrendingReviews]

That's crazy it happened twice! Mine was told it was backorder too, but it took 6-8 weeks to finally arrive, and then they had to paint it black before I could get it fitted. I had to keep calling for updates because they never called me when it was actually sitting there ready for me to have fitted - but the cost I was quoted was around $500 for the part and fitting, so it definitely would be cheaper to order yourself and get a local garage to fit it.

[@tal.7298]

@@TrendingReviews Yess and it's so frustrating, the whole thing! That's the exact thing that happened to me the first go-round, they never called and when I called, found out the part came in and was just sitting there at the dealership, they claimed. Yes indeed, based off customer reviews, these are sturdier than the original but I'll see how that goes. Lol I guess it's better than mechanical issues but still very much an inconvenience to get resolved.

[@evtown7488]

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🤔

[@TrendingReviews]

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.

JLR will breakdown first. Almost a guarantee

[@TicketyBoo.]

Had my Velar 2 years now and absolutely nothing has gone wrong and I mean NOTHING. Had two other Range Rovers in the past and apart from a water pump on the oldest one, only the usual wear and tear things needed attention. By comparison my Mercedes E320 had endless electrical faults and kept going into limp mode. I also abandoned my 4 year old Audi A6 having replaced, the CAT, EGR, Turbo and power steering pump in a period of just 6 months. JLR products are as reliable as any other modern car if you look after them. Most people that claim they are unreliable have never actually owned one, they just parrot what they've heard. You'd be amazed at the number of 'fancy' cars I have helped rescue over the years with Range Rovers.

[@joey-pn3xe]

@@TicketyBoo. I don’t think any of the cars in this list are particularly reliable as there’s no mention of Lexus/Toyota etc however all of the data suggest the JLR will breakdown first. I don’t think the people saying that brand is unreliable have to own it to read basic data. Yes you may have one that’s done a million miles with no issues but that’s anecdotal not exactly what the wider data suggests.

Meanwhile my friends with Volvo's and BMW's have had so many issues, some really bad. Another friends Tesla has been a nightmare with complete shut downs.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for sharing that feedback and sorry to hear about all the Velar issues you've had. I know for sure, this will be my 1 and only range rover purchase, after I sell this, I'll be looking for alternatives for sure.

lovely video. I own a 2019 P300. Do you have any recommendations for washer fluid? Which one do you use personally?

[@TrendingReviews]

Thank you for the comment - I use Autoglym Screen Wash.

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

[@hectorarcaya2424]

Im looking to buy one on the used market. But i was concern about reability issues on this brand. Good to know after 4 years is doing well.

[@TrendingReviews]

It has remained reliable on many levels, so overall I'm happy!

I am literally about to pay a deposit for a 2019 model with one year's warranty but everyone is telling me not to do it due to reliability!

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

[@jackgalvez8910]

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.

Thank you! This one is solid fuji white.

[@luisnieves5782]

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

[@miliswapakela1854]

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.

[@TrendingReviews]

Thank you for sharing a similar experience! It's such a shame for an expensive car like this, it has problems with things that shouldn't even be considered as problems in the first place.

[@devsingh6321]

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

[@OffroadAdventures9]

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

[@IvanPeranovic]

​@@TrendingReviewsDo you have some issues ?

[@7ditoumanetta]

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

[@chelseaguy70]

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.

[@TrendingReviews]

Yeah that's true - I forgot to mention ULEZ charge also - I know that applies to ALL newer low emission cars, but should have also mentioned that as a city cost too.

[@3204clivesinclair]

Big question. Would you buy another Velar, or even another JLR product - with the new updated infotainment system and your customer experience?

[@TrendingReviews]

Good question - I would say No, I would more likely go for a full EV, and something a bit more affordable. Not decided which one yet as I'm not at that stage yet, but thats the way the industry is shifting and there comes plenty of other benefits with it, so thats where I'm leaning towards.

Yes

[@jacobbio]

My uncles velar lease is almost up and decided whether we should buy it from him, he paid 60k new and now it’s worth 32k

[@TrendingReviews]

If he can sell it to you for 32K, then its worth buying, for sure! It's worth that price.

[@northsidemechanic]

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,

[@TrendingReviews]

Hi - I've not found any way to connect an iPod directly to the system on the Velar - I only connect my devices via Bluetooth and play through the Meridian sound system. The only other way is if you manually transfer music via the USB port onto the Media section of the system. But again, I haven't tried this myself. Sorry!

[@hauletrung]

how's the headlight at night? is it bright? :)

Hi how did you get apple carplay on the 2017 velar ? I just bought a 2018 velar but doesn’t have apple carplay

[@TrendingReviews]

Yep. It's part of the software update, so it should definitely be available to you. Just get your software updated to the latest version.

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

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.
