The arm rests in the middle slide forward to cover up the cup holder. I love my Velar.

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

My second dream SUV! Great review Joe.

[@starkbmw]

Although this car isn't perfect, my wife loves hers. Black on black on black just like the one you are reviewing but with a black interior too. You gave a zonk because you wished the second cup holder would have a cover. You can actually slide both armrests forward and it will cover the cupholder.

[@Delitewon]

Perfection can be subjective, however, can you say why it isn’t perfect for you and your spouse?

[@MrAnderson321]

I bought a gloss black cover for that cup holder area on my Velar in the UK and it finishes that area off nicely, without pulling the armrests forward. £28.95 with a black velvet bag to stow it in if needed, worth every penny.👌

[@starkbmw]

@@Delitewon the reliability isn't the greatest overall. The Velar tends to have the fans at maximum speed eventhough it isn't hot. You can hear the car from around the corner. That is how loud it gets. It is a known issue so the dealership "fixed it" with an update. The fix is known to last only several months and the permanent solution is to replace the water pump. At times, the entertainment screen is blank and it doesn't turn on until I restart the vehicle. Other than that, it is flawless lol. Those issues does not deter us from enjoying the vehicle and it is simply a beauty.

[@Delitewon]

@@starkbmw Thanks for sharing that with me. I am contemplating purchasing a Sport HSE package, but my son-in-law, who is a car dealer is talking me out of it. He said they are plagued with multiple problems. I decided to check and it appears like every year there’s some problem with the Range Rovers. I like it’s stylish appearance. The price tag is a tad of a deterrent for me, however, the biggest breaker for me is it’s reliability.

[@joelkommoji6925]

Hey love your videos, but when you say the price can you also say the base price. I feel like people think a car could be out of their range even if it isn’t. For example, the car in the video was 90k but I think starts around 55k

They are great looking automobiles. The problem is they are last on the reliability list, year after year after year. TFL went through 2 brand new ones before they got one that runs. Now the third one they have keeps throwing a check engine light. These are brand new vehicles.

[@DavidSingerSongwtr]

Bought a 2020 Velar R-Dynamic HSE P380. 380 HP and 0-60 in 4.9 to 5.0 seconds. MSRP was 87K and paid 69K with 4200 miles lease return 8 months old at the time. Owned it for 1 year and not one issue. Mine is same black color and same 22 inch wheels but mine has red vents on hood, red front end vents and red on tailgate and badge delete meaning no green Land Rover or velar badging. Very unique and all black leather inside. Was worried regarding reliability but so far been excellent. Feel like I got a good deal on it. Have 2.5 years left on warranty.

[@AbdullahHood]

That’s not what happened with TFL. There was a part needed for the first one and they offered TFL and upgraded alternative. The second vehicle was damaged by the workshop before the delivery and then they handed over the 3rd vehicle. None of their vehicles have broken down. People mistakenly think that LR products have mechanical problems. The issues are usually with electrical gremlins - the same as TFL. But they haven’t been left stranded somewhere.

[@ndobolo80star86]

Got one for 5 years never have an issue

[@dt4816hyg]

Reference the centre cupholder, the arm rests can move forward to cover them when not in use. Just lift the latch as if you wanted to access the cubby, but pull forward instead of lift.

The issue with RR is the distribution of its parts network (its lack thereof, should I say). You have to wait for parts to arrive from England - even the radiator hose pipe. Best as a Lease special only. After lease is up - run away

@sparsh mudgil Not really, the Q8/SQ8 are bigger & have the sport back. The Velar is more of a traditional SUV shape & their compact SUV. It goes up against the Q5/SQ5 in the Audi lineup. The Q7/Q8 is somewhere akin to the RR Sport & RR model.

[@fanman71]

@sparsh mudgil No, it's not. Range Rover Velar : Overall Length = 188.9", Wheelbase = 113.1". More importantly Rear Headroom = 38," Rear legroom = 37.2" Audi Q8 : Overall Length = 196.6", Wheelbase = 117.9". Rear Headroom = 38.1", Rear Legroom = 40.2"

[@fanman71]

@sparsh mudgil That's their sub compact. The Audi Q3 = RR EVOQ. The Q5/SQ5 = Velar, RR Sport is similar in size for the occupants for the Q8/SQ8 & the RR = Q7/SQ7.
