I love the minimalist interior of the Velar.

[@EllenOakley1234]

6:02 “…similar to Teslas’ and I don’t mean that favorably” 😂 agreed!

[@filippobriganti5975]

The pre facelift looked more premium, especially interior wise.

[@user-kf2st7lc6n]

Hey 👋 Miles Very stylish car to kick off the new year. Super love love ❤️ Range Rover

[@cheezylover258]

Can't wait for the Night Drive💯

[@user-nx3do8jh7j]

Good review and explanation of the features. Currently have my 2024 on the ship and waiting for delivery. I can't wait for the car to arrive.

[@SpiritualEyed]

It must have arrived by now didn't it? How is it?

[@coreyk288]

The interior usability of the pre-facelift is vastly superior, but both drive superbly. It’s very stable at higher autobahn speed and is great in city too. The drivetrain in our current gen Defender doesn’t particularly enjoy sub 25 km stop and go; The velar with the hybrid system in particular, does make up for this and is more suitable for daily duty than many of land rovers offerings (though we do daily our defender 🤷🏻‍♂️). Plus they just look good. To me, the problem with this car is that the Range Rover sport exists, luckily if this is the one you can get want to get it is still surprisingly great.

[@thisandthat8686]

Dude I want a Velar so bad but peoples negative comments on the brand make me nervous about moving forward. I’m afraid I’m at the point where I’d offer to buy it as soon as I sit in it.

[@MilesPerHr]

As long as you're within the warranty period, it shouldn't be a concern.

[@SequoiaGuy09]

Buy velar with highest trim it will worth it

[@adalgisounoqualunque9033]

Lease only, never buy, specially if it's out of warranty. Can't afford to buy new and sell it when warranty expires or to lease it ? Stay away from it.

[@tanks4lyfe509]

The velars are a little unreliable, that is partly because it is a Jaguar F-PACE with a different body. However most of the time people over exaggerate problems. They usually haven't owned one. Both my friends love their range rover sports. One is a 2019 V6 sport and the other is a 2017 V6 sport. The 2019 is well cared for and hasn't had any problems, whereas the 2017 was cheap and not cared for as much. But she still loves it, as it was her dream car. My advice is MAKE sure you can afford it, you can't go cheap. You have got to take car of range rovers, but trust me once you own one, you won't buy anything else 😂

[@adalgisounoqualunque9033]

@@tanks4lyfe509 the idea that you need to have money to buy a certain car is a given, however with Land Rover it’s brought to the extreme, there are cars who cost 50k as new but are reliable so you can buy them at 25k after 4 years (as I have done) and reach 200k km without a single problem. There is a reason if the Land Rover CEO in 2021 admitted that their reliability problems cost them 100k sales a year. That’s unheard of for almost any other car.

[@Mcoogie]

Love the roundedness

[@Kid_player2008-tm4pu]

Happy 2024

[@Cian374]

Happy new year 🎉🥳

[@MilesPerHr]

Happy new year!!

[@MrMiamiswaggz305]

I was going to get a Velar back in 2020 then I realize how tight the car was especially for it’s size.

[@MuffinMoney]

I will take a Genesis GV80 Signature over this for sure! No dis to the brand, but it just looks cheap for an $80K price tag...

[@user-st3dw2gn6u]

After my brand new Genesis suv completely shut off in the middle of the highway refusing to start I'll never buy another again...needed the fuel pump replaced which took months because the part was backordered due to so many failures, shortly after had it officially recalled, then replaced again -- horribly unsafe and customer support was awful the entire time.

[@user-xp4vr9jw7e]

Dude, nothing on the audio sound? I own a 2021 P340 and my sound system myself and others was very disappointed with. I am hoping for a change in the newer models.

[@OjeshKhare]

Nice awesome 👍

[@bradleyscarreviews]

That certainly wasn’t a good launch…because the heavier Range Rover sport with the same engine got 0-60 quicker.

[@gryphon-]

Probably true but stuff like this happens a lot in real-world tests. The 0-60 is rated in ideal conditions.

[@bradleyscarreviews]

@@gryphon- his real world test with the rover sport was quicker

[@Adamlllllllllllljjjljljjjjj]

@@bradleyscarreviewsin the real world, the p400 velar is only 0.2 seconds quicker than the p400 sport so I think this is realistic. The Range Rover sport may have had less power lost through aircon or may have had less wind

[@Prince-xy3km]

The Range Rover sport SV 2024 takes 3.6 seconds

[@tanks4lyfe509]

​@@Prince-xy3km that has a 4.4 litre V8 not a V6

[@arizonaridersclub]

We're riding with ya.

[@die_nackte_Wahrheit]

You have to pay extra for heated seats. The technology package cannot be ordered together with the trailer assistance system. So what is that?

[@singingLeaf123]

Best of being seen but also best at breaking down

[@Fahad.Salman]

3:56 will built? Till me more 🤣🤣

[@tezzotv-]

yoo can we please get a day in the life of the ct5 v black wing ??

[@MilesPerHr]

Yes, I will absolutely do that!

[@CapybaraFire]

My mom has it but i never knew can it reach gear 7?

[@bohacatilla779]

Harika süper 👍👍

[@AvaneeshSomasundaram]

cool

[@markovwms]

I refer the f-pace

[@yamil.343]

Nice car but I don’t think worth the 80k. My Mirage has a better rearview camera 😮 Cool review 😊

[@gr8vivin]

Miles, please show the roof SOS buttons and lights properly. How can you miss that in a Range Rover. By saying 'visibility' you're only showing a side view profile of the roof lights and controls. Man, show it clearly.

[@Vintage_buttplugs]

The new minimalistic interior design is less premium compared to the previous interior design…. I think they took the “minimalistic design” way too much

[@lcfcbeliever04]

I dont really agree on the price since it barely has anything inside but oh well, its a range rover

[@alexbeneventi938]

why is the engine so loud? Is it fake, piped in engine noise oming from the speakers? Not saying it's bad, just a litte loud.

[@BhatiAnkur125]

Ill miss the rhyme of key and 23😅

[@MilesPerHr]

😂 me too

[@tobyhwang5703]

Why is the engine going to 5000 on comfort?

[@tripswim2490]

You alway test drive in city when test drive in Rural. I like nuture

[@hermilomeira]

Small?

[@evan.435]

Isn't this powered by the B58?

[@MilesPerHr]

No, the full-size Rover has BMW's 4.4-liter TT V8, but the Velar's I-6 just has the same layout and displacement as the B58 - they aren't the same motor

[@evan.435]

@@MilesPerHr Got it. Kind of surprised they didn't use the B58, but this engine seems good as well.

[@AkramIqbalNahid397]

Is that car reliable now? It's now using BMW's engine though

[@NXT_LVL]

Could be back when they used Rover's or Ford's (aka Jag)

[@MilesPerHr]

Only the larger Rovers are sharing BMW's 4.4-liter TT V8. This Velar is using an Ingenium I-6.

[@SequoiaGuy09]

Range Rover’s engine is always reliable but the electrical system always fail

[@Nabilllllll]

SMALL SUV? This thing is considered SMALL?????

[@MiscName]

In America I guess it is

[@MilesPerHr]

That's the segment it competes in, yes. Midsize is another class up.

[@RedForce78]

@@MilesPerHr it's not a small SUV, it's a medium size SUV. The Range Rover Evoque is in the small segment, not the Velar.

[@Mahalakshmi-Khan]

The dashboard is a let down compared to outgoing model 😭

[@Construct87]

This car will spend more time at the repair shop than in your driveway. They look great, they are comfortable but trust me, dont get one.

[@Juan_dale]

sup

[@MilesPerHr]

👋

[@SequoiaGuy09]

This is too expensive I rather buy Corolla cross or NX300 over this velar

[@rprtr720]

CR says Land Rover is the most unreliable automobile manufacturer. Therefore you should live close to a LR dealership.

[@bigdaddyswole]

Just get a sport if you can’t afford the big boy Range Rover. This is not Range Rover.

[@Justinx310x]

Dude shut up
