Range Rover Velar: Driving The Future - Carfection

Velar may slot in between the Range Rover Sport and the Evoque but can it's stunning looks make it a more appealing choice than either?

They Nailed it with this one! The Velar could easily get into the hall of fame of the most beautifully designed cars ever produced.

Well, this is interesting. You test a new British car, owned by an Indian company, but it has a German number plate and you're in Norway? Quite international, I must say ;)

Physical switches are much better for cars. Having to take your eyes off of the road every time you want to do anything is much more dangerous.

Hey I missed this guy, he's great

[rojaeanglin]

the VELAR is worth the likes
It is utterly stunning, I can't even find the right words to describe such a car

[NasserShakaa]

It's a beautiful looking Range. However too many people have complained about getting error codes a few days out of the showroom

My dad just bought a velar p380 Hse it’s great it looks amazing as soon as this came out he sold his previous car and bought this. The interface and interior are amazing and should look like that in every car

When someone living in the most beautiful country speaks for something being beautiful, it is understood, the thing must be exceptionally beautiful ❤️

5:52 Complaining about the strict speed limits in Norway while doing 139 in an 80 zone, lol. You might want to blur out that speedo :)

I am always scratching my head at all the people claiming that land rover/range rover have poor reliability. I guess people see what they want to believe. But I have a hard time believing that all the commenters have even driven a rover let alone ever owned one.

I have owned Land Rovers all my driving life, and have had every model from a Series II to a modern Range Rover. I haven't owned one of the Evoques or Velars but I can't imagine they are that different. I have also owned Fords, Jeeps, Dodge, Hondas, Nissans, and a Toyota. The Ford blew a transmission when the speedo plug came undone after a dealer service. One Jeep rusted in half after six years from new, plus it had cracked the transfer case. The Dodge was a Cummins which blew an injector rail on a major highway, sprayed diesel all over the road and engine bay which needed a hazmat fire truck to respond. I had two Hondas have a ruin water pump which caused the timing belt to slip which caused total engine failure on one and ruined the valves and rockers on the other. One of the Nissans has a CVT transmission which is crap, it actually stalls when cold in a sub tropical environment and the Toyota needed a compleat new frame as it rusted out. But they didn't replace the rusted bumper. 
All of the Japanese cars I had in a certain time frame had to have their airbags replaced as they randomly blew up, the Toyota was also recalled for a sticking accelerator

On the other hand not one of my land rovers or range rovers have ever let me down. They have all had various issues after a hundred and some odd thousands miles but never something that caused a major issue. I have also driven 26 yo Series III after buying it sight unseen, from Florida to New England to Washington state.

So maybe I am just really lucky with rovers and unlucky with other cars, but if that's case then it just shows there is something for everyone and we should be glad that's the case.

The only part I love about it it's the second screen for the A/C and driving modes.

Haha the analogy with apple was spot on...

Anyone who's used Jaguar/Landrover electronic systems knows that this button-less setup is terrifying.

[SChapps]

I saw one randomly at a service station on the way to Scotland at the start of June, gorgeous car

So most land rovers are made so that you can use the control buttons
wearing gloves, for those cold days, so do these touchscreen controls
work through gloves? Also doesn't look like there's a ton of head room,
which is one of the things I liked most about my Rover

I commend you Brits, seems like it's always the worst possible weather for car reviews, even Range Rover, but you guys stick with it.

It's actually kinda nice seeing these high end, usually spotless polished rides get dirty af lol.

[Alan_Mac]

Beautiful and competent. JLR are on a roll right now making some absolutely terrific cars.

[rowanrobinson]

In person these things are incredible. Kind of annoying that the only demo ones have been the with the P380's though. For that price you're looking at a Sport, which will no doubt be replaced with a new model soon.
