The 2022 Range Rover Velar is AMAZING!

2022 Range Rover Velar review by The Straight Pipes. The Range Rover Velar P400 R-Dynamic HSE is putting down 395 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque from a 3L Turbo Inline 6 cylinder. At $93,050 CAD, would you take it over the Jaguar F-Pace, BMW X5, BMW X6, Mercedes GLE, Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne?

[@Jsah11]

I owned a P300 R Dynamic HSE Velar here in the UK. Stunning to look at. Head turner. It averaged 18mpg though. The rear camera was laggy. The CarPlay barely worked. The speakers crackled. I never went off road. But good for road trips. I loved it but the tech really let it down unfortunately. Although I can’t help but want another. Weird how you feel like that about LR/RR products.

[@bernard-francoistaylor4205]

I leased a Velar P250 R-Dynamic while I lived in Big Bear, CA. Vehicle was amazing during the winter in deep snow. Never needed snow chains, never became stuck anywhere. Was always able to drive up and down roads that were "Snowed Over", the highest was the snow was at front license plate level with ease. I'm sure that's due to the locking center differential.

[@2j_a_c.158]

You really provide all the information and your presentation is really great

[@Trades46]

I driven a MY21 Velar P340 R-dynamic and loved it. A great blend of athleticism and luxury, great comfort from the air suspension. The 3.0L Inline 6 is butter smooth and MPG is surprising.

[@richardh3587]

Have a 2020 rrs and love it. Somehow it’s more satisfying to drive than my previous bmw sedan - better steering weight/feel, better throttle response, and even better suspension tuning. Never would’ve guessed that I’d enjoy driving a 5k pound suv more than a 3800 Pound sedan. Plus the seats are extremely comfortable. Only issue so far is that the infotainment can be slow to boot. No I haven’t really taken it off road - just muddy forest roads. Weirdly my gauge cluster seems less laggy than the one in this velar

[@BidenIsKing]

This baby seat peace as part of the review is incredible! As a guy who loves cars this is what I want to know about the most! Just amazing!!!!

[@cybernitro4257]

I have a friend with a 2019 Velar diesel and it really is awesome. I like it a lot.

[@rtehcs000]

My last car was a Mercedes GLC 300 4Matic. I loved how smooth it handled and some of the features as well. I sold it to get one of my dream cars - a 2018 Velar R-Dynamic SE and I absolutely love it. While there are some features that I wish it had that my Mercedes had and there are some quirks that I'm not the happiest about but it is awesome. I've had it for some time and haven't had any problems out of it knock on wood. My only nagging regret sort of is that I went with the more economical P250 and can't shake the thought that I should've just splurged for the P400 R-Dynamic HSE which I'm contemplating upgrading to now.

My dad has an LR4 and we do all sorts of fun stuff. We tow all the time and in the summer we use it on our ranch. We off-road all the time. Once we got stuck in snow and once we did the broken arrow trail in Arizona. All we had was all terrain tires everything else is stock.

[@henrik-frank]

We own a Velar P300 and we took it once offroading in the vineyards of South of France, however, it wasn't voluntary offroading but rather cursing around after having missed several turns haha Was still doable, even tough it felt a little weird (which is quite strange for a SUV)

[@naveeds786]

I've had 3 Range Rover Sports on lease (through work) over the last 8 years and I never found the throttle response and braking to be natural. It feels like there's a delay between what your feet are doing and how the car responds. Jaguar doesn't do that surprisingly.

[@alui520]

Little correction: the paddles should work by settings, you can choose it is functioning during D mode or you needa switch to S mode manually first

[@The_journeyy]

*Safe to say this is the first range I've actually seen and thought I'd actually want that* 😍

[@dk4wncp]

Funny you mention the slowness of the 8sp ZF. My 2018 F-Type R has it and it's show to shift too. But my 2015 BMW 435ix with the SAME box shifted sooo fast.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Each company tunes it differently. Bmw apparently works very closely with ZF on their version

[@JohnSmith-me2wg]

I hated the ZF 8 speed in previous gen 2018 X5M had to always keep it in manual - it never did the right thing

[@thokozanigab]

@@TheStraightPipes see now this makes sense

[@justinb8583]

Again, he said the tuning. I've driven cars like this with a slow transmission and I also have a bmw with the ZF-8 speed that shifts as fast as some dual clutches, in bmw's.....and while they're drivers cars, their 4's can sound like a 6 and etc. Jaguar Land Rover has a very different tuning protocol, especially with gas guzzlers as many of their products, where the entire company needs to save gas where it can on products it can. Audi's always upshifted too quickly, to save gas. I suspect the same.

[@richardh3587]

Matt farah just tested an fpace svr and was impressed with the shift speeds (same ZF 8 soeed)

[@SergioPinhog]

89k miles on my 2018 velar and its been flawless!

[@AhmadKhan-ff2mt]

Any big issues?

[@SergioPinhog]

@@AhmadKhan-ff2mt Engine computer module replaced at 34k miles, took 1h wait and under warranty. Back passenger door wouldn't open at 44k, took them 30 min to fix under warranty. Break lights got moisture in them at 49k miles, took them 1h to fix under warranty. None of the problems stopped be from driving it while I waited for my scheduled visit, they were just mildly annoying. There has been a couple of weird software glitches since then but have been solved with unplugging the battery then plugin it back in but mostly absolutely flawless since warranty ran out but I do want to trade it in before 100k miles. I have done every single schedule service on right on time, they inspect everything in the car every time, its expensive, like 500-800$ every 15k miles, but its a nice car and I love it, so its worth it for me! I'm looking to trade it in for another Velar at 100k or maybe a top range rover.

[@paipuky]

Regarding baby seat (2:40), I think the uppababy mesa adapter needs to be adjusted to flatter setting (gray button) to the point where is even with car’s seat surface. Other child seats allow you to adjust the angle.

[@mrgold3591]

Land Rover and Jaguar makes some beautiful cars. Too scared to trust long-term reliability once the warranty runs out. It would be a cool series to see previous vehicles you reviewed 3-5 years earlier compare now with some years and mileage on them to others in the same year/mileage/price range. Vehicle prices are so high now and the used market prices are so ridiculous. I would pay more now if it means I can keep a vehicle longer with a reasonable cost of long-term ownership.

[@haymont.s]

for the paddles not working in "drive", that's just a setting in the menu options on the steering wheel

Wanted to comment because I do have Range Rover and drive it off road here in Brazil. In my case it's an Evoque, bit I have crossed a river with it, have driven on very slippery mud, and on very soft sand on the beach. So they look cool, and they are very capable off-road. They won't be as capable as a defender, but Land Rover does know what they are doing.

[@ildrichaseron]

My god-father had an LR4, a Range Rover and now currently in a Velar. He only took the LR4 off-roading. The Velar is “too new” but he may probably do it IF he does keep it for a long time
