2020 RANGE ROVER VELAR R DYNAMIC REVIEW - Pros and Cons - Should you buy one?

The Range Rover Velar is one of the most stunning cars on the road today. Since its debut in 2017, it still manages to maintain a concept car look thanks to that severely raked windshield and thin lighting accents. Also, by painting the top and bottom of the Velar black, the SUV looks lower, thinner, and elongated. The proportions are just short of perfect. And the best part? None of the practicality was sacrificed to achieve such a dramatic design.

The Range Rover Velar that I reviewed was fitted with the R-Dynamic trim, which offered gorgeous wheels, interior accents, and driver focused settings. I would highly recommend choosing any color but white because of the body lines on this car. They beg for a bright and playful color that has the ability to highlight reflections and puddles that would be seen below the belt line of the car.

The 3.0 supercharged V6 provides 340 hp and 342 lbs/ft which is punchy, but the transmission dull the experience due to the single clutch system needed for towing.

Interior comforts are the focal point of the Velar. For starters, just open the door to see 3 speakers mounted to each of the front doors. The surround sound is a theme in the Velar, considering that a third row seat is NOT present, even though you will find speakers in the cargo area. Cargo space is not robbed due to sexy sloping design. The BMW X6 and the Mercedes Benz GLE were simply not able to achieve the practicality while keeping a sexy design. There were sacrifices made all around.

The dual screens, the beautiful steering wheel, and the wide center console are just some of the highlights of the interior. To see all of the highlights including the pros and cons of the Range Rover Velar R Dynamic, watch the full video where I will also give you my opinion on whether or not I believe you should buy one, lease one, or stay away from the Velar altogether.

Very good review. Your assessment was pretty much spot-on with my experiences with my 2019 RR Velar R-Dynamic. Aside from an early issue with the software, that was corrected by an update, I had zero issues with the car. Mine was a lease and I would encourage leasing for these vehicles. Thanks again!

I'm now a brand new owner of a 2020 VELAR R....thanks ADAM!

I know this video is three years old now, but it's 99% spot on IMO. I disagree with his comments on the styling of the Merc GLE, but that's just my opinion. I actually prefer the more aggressive SUV-Coupe styling of the MERC to the more traditional SUV-Wagon styling of the Velar. However, the interior of the Velar is outstanding!! Unfortunately, the Velar is plagued with issues. It has one of the lowest reliability ratings in the luxury sport SUV class, only trailing the Ford Kuga and the MG HS, which aren't even offered here in the US! I was looking at the preowned P380 HSE and had to steer clear after researching its reliability issues. If you're shopping for a pre-owned Velar, DO NOT GET ONE WITHOUT A "FULL COVERAGE" EXTENDED WARRANTY!

Adam, might be awesome if you have a low volume wicked tunes going in the background while you are talking!
It will give it that L.A vibe I miss so much.
Just try it and see where it goes.

The land Rover circle in front of the hidden cup holder is how you open the cup holder. You don't just force it open :)

Good review but the ending is simply not true. I owned a 2013 Land Rover black edition for 10 years and never had any issues in a decade and the velar is more reliable than bmw or Mercedes. You probably heard from a friends friends cousins uncle from 1997 that Land Rover sucks. Well it was true back then and not today. That’s a well known fact in America. If you live in another country then perhaps it’s true there.

Great review but I wish he’d touch the steering wheel a bit more often!

Just purchase a 2021! The horn starting going off and wouldn’t turn on! Have you had this issue??
