Range Rover Velar review: aex.ae/2uhcABt
Everything Jaguar Land Rover touches seems to turn to gold. But with such award-winning success and sales growth to match, the expectation from each new launch grows. So can the all-new Range Rover Velar prove the company still has the Midas touch?

Aye that music is pure suckage, very nearly quit watching.
Agere wholeheartedly needs something with a bit of energy and sophistication not some limp string garbage. Mike Oldfield's 'Airbourne' would have been nicer.
OMG! Is that road for real? 1:21 With that waterfall in the background? I wanna go there. Right now.
chillout1109 I believe he said this was filmed in Ireland
chillout1109 yes its real, we have lots of such falls roads in norway hahah
First part with the sea and mountains in the background is taken in the heart of Aalesund city. Rest of the driving is filmed at various locations in More and Romsdal fylke, mostly center and southern part of the county :)
queenie ilangos All this is filmed in Norway, near Ålesund
The Speaker and Seat ventilation holes have a Union Jack in their pattern. Nicely done !
there are 2 main reasons that i don't like this car
1. its too expensive
2.i cant afford it
Suhail Siddiqe its suppose to be expensive, its range rover not dacia duster
These are for important people like me. Not for peasants whom I use to make me money.
+Suhail Siddiqe You forgot reliability. And
+Snapchat Dotcom, rich people will not be caught dead buying this car lol
and ?
It is not that expensive, if you don't spec all the options it is cheaper than Arteon. But yeah i agree, you can make it twice the base price just by adding some options, but then again in my opinion it is best Range Rover, just due all those new electronic stuff that old RR really needed.
I own an evoque and had a sport as well and there are 2 big problems
1) Gearbox is very dull and slow.
2) Reliability is still an issue with expensive parts and labour costs.
They need to make this right very fast or they will be beaten by the competitors.
Ninad Antrolikar ha don't talk if you have an evoque
Progoon 15 lol
thinking about a range rover but those reliability issues always make me lean away.
Ninad Antrolikar What does reliability mean?
Ninad Antrolikar Who would they be beat by? All luxury brands are pretty unreliable as well
Driving when using a mobile phone is considered dangerous yet cars are now coming out with two 10inch touchscreens...
Depends on what country your in idiot.......Drinking a lot of alcohol is bad for you should they ban that too?
It's "you're." Idiot
Servfer Doesn’t really matter does it, your previous point is still ridiculous.
I have owned 3 Jags and 2 Range Rovers. Except for a lousy ZF 9 speed tranny in the Evoque (did not break, just disliked programming) that made me trade it in for a Range Rover Sport , these have been the MOST RELIABLE cars I have owned. Far better than BMW, ETC
I've had nine Range Rovers including a Long Wheel Base . All had the ex GM V8 , and not one Breakdown !! And it is the same engine that , Reoco, that won Jack Brabham his World Championship !!
1:27 this is amazing😍😍😍
Decent review. Looks great.
Is that Norway ?
Can anyone tell me where this car fits in to the market, I mean the sport's rivals are x5, gle ect.. and the Range Rovers rivals are Q7, XC90 ect... so where does this fit?
Velar's rivals are F-Pace, X3, Q5, XC60 and GLC
It dosen't fit. It costs as much as an X5 or GLE when they have comparable engines, but is more the size of the X3 or GLC. With the 240 hp 2.0 diesel the Velar starts at £53k. The X5 25d and GLE250 starts at 50k.
So they are in competition with themselves hahahaha
@Henry, actually mate, its much closer to X5 when looking at the size/price than the X3. Velar is 4.8m and X5 4.88m while X3 is somewhere around 4.65m.
Jack 1 Q5
what is that red color on the velar callled? and does it come in this color from the factory or is it a paintjob?
What is the difference between range rover sport autobiography and range rover sport supercharged???
Looks good in the first edition version (for an SUV) but the other versions look...weird. Also, touch screens look great and feel futuristic, but if you've got kids (like most Range Rover owners) and they put their hands all over the dash and the crap on their hands glints in the sun or interior light.....not a good look
I'm totally in love with the front end but the rear makes me feel sick! Doesn't match AT ALL
Love the silver metalic one at the start loooooove Rangie 😍😍😍😍😍
Where is this place where they shot the video?
yanfei ma Norway
Imagine maintaining this
this channel does so much promotion stuff for JLR that you can't believe they are capable of doing a proper balanced review.
So which one is better the sport or the velar
one of the most beautiful cars
Three diesel engine available! For decades European governments promoted and subsidized diesels, yet the newest evidence shows that they are a major contributor to air pollution. Now in some places diesels are being banned. Perhaps you could do a video drawing together the current state of diesels and if they still have a future.
Not a word about the nav system. In the 2016 Evoque it"s so bad. Like a Garmin back in the 2006's
that music playing after every talking bit is almost a gag at this point.
In minutes 1.21 Who notes that there is rapture on steering wheel isn't strange the car still new
looks amazing...
Head to head Velar vs RR Sport
Oh shit a british guy driving a car that the steering wheel on the left PogChamp
The 380 horsepower version is not worth the money . They should have given it more power like around 485 - 510 horsepower.
Came here to comment on that transition music but I see it's already been covered. Jesus Christ man
So why you always use a cut away scene when it comes to infotainment system instead introducing it by yourself. Its just feeling super weird to watch this review
Great Video!
sam smith
You got some awesome roads
“.................. I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEED ITTTTT!!!!!!!”
I want to get this car, but he kept saying it's quiet. Wtf... the f pace has grunt to it.
Anyone else think it's a little overstyled? I dunno, I kind of miss the boxy Land Rovers of yore.
Not bad with face golf
It's gorgeous .
Now I have to buy it.... VELAR is RALEV written backwards 8)
It's nice but it still doesn't give me the wow factor like the bigger Range Rover
ZigSteenine but the side view is jaw dropping
Great Video of a great luxury SUV
This is my dream car
6 months later break down ?? Lol my mates , brand new $300k autobiography didn't last 12 hours before it was off the road for a week ! Appalling
What's with the stupid music in between the talking, not needed and very naff
Stunning car
naaa... I think I ll wait for the range rover space shuttle model!
"👍🏽"
What the hell is the point of an SUV if u can't fit anyone in it!?
That music is unbelievably irritating.
Autoexpress you need to sort out your video production its terrible the positive is that because existing print magazines make such terrible online videos its helped fuel the myriad of youtube online channels that do great content
All that glitter isn't gold.
Midas touch, what about the Discovery...very poor satisfaction and quality ratings
Better than Porsche though.
Ben Jamin' better than Harley Davidson, TOP that 😅😳🤔
Gorgeous !!!!
só Deus mesmo pra ganhar na loteria mega Sena mesmo!!!!$$$$$
land rover a midas touch, I've enjoyed my vehicle,the problem is these overpriced vehicles with terrible reliability. take your landrover to the dealership and get ready for sticker shock again. repair bills are ridiculous. I have sixty five thousand miles,am due for service which I get diferent prices for, from 3000 to six thousand dollars. the hood alarm goes off costantly,hood sensor,400 dollar repair. air suspension is going out,a landrover regular problem and expensive fix. emergency brakes make shrieking noises when you set it,and lastly the high quality land rover dash developed 4 huge cracks, 3000 dollar repair at 36000 miles. does landrover take care of issues. never unless you pay double what normal cars cost to repair. buy a landrover and enjoy giving the English your money. crap cars by a crap company. next 4x4 will be a chevrolet. at least repairs as service are resonable.
Dave Solis Leasing would be better right
Dave Solis dealer ships are always over priced. You're better off going to a private shop.
I know multiple people that drive over 25k miles a year and they love their range rovers. All they have done are basic wear and tear stuff. It's been cheaper for them to own a range rover than other cars.
Dave Solis u may be right but u made a mistake writing 'enjoy giving money to English'. Actually Land Rover( Range Rover) & jaguar r owned by an Indian company called TATA. so technically u r paying Indians.
Dave Solis maybe 12 years ago but the company is at a different level now! People need to get away from all these misconceptions and stop listing to everything they hear on the internet.
maharshi patel thanks for the information oncurrent owner of landrover. when I purchased mine ford was in charge of English company. if you have ever had to deal with ford on a manufacturer defect then you no what it is to bang your head on a wall. Indian change couldn't be worse.
The interior is an attempt to copy a Tesla. I like minimalist too but SOME actual buttons found in the proper Range Rover and Range Rover Sport are quite nice. Also, why have they put the handbrake over where your knee is? That is not very intuitive. So instead of one touch screen we have two fiddly touch screens to play with. Also pop out door handles? Really? I can only hope that JLR don't apply this to the next incarnation of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. No extra fiddly screens!
Mike B how is it a copy of Tesla's interior? It doesn't have a ginormous screen with crap build quality.
It has two touch screens, and absolutely no buttons anywhere on the center console. If that isn't an attempt to be Tesla like I don't know what is.
Mike B Every car maker will move towards lacking in buttons and on board computers as it's what the consumers want!!
There's an old adage came from Steve Jobs actually, "people don't know what they want until you show it to them" If 'Every car maker' all decide to copy the tesla dashboard tablet gimmick then the manufacturers will continue to just blend into one as they are doing. I am convinced the Velar was conceived to compete with the Tesla. Just as the evoque was designed to lure Audi TT owners.
What the hell happend to production quality??
Literally all of the guys saying reliability is not an issue are people who actually do not own a rover. They will say I have friends or know people who own and don't face issues. BULLSHIT! Heck even when a rover owner says that they have faced issues they will try to nit pick and will point to hearsay that may be theirs was an exceptional case or they didn't take proper care of their rover. Fucking bullshit. Stop being blind fanboys. As much as I love Rovers and going to lease Velar as soon as it is out, their reliability is indeed an issue. And don't say they are as bad as Germans, I own and Audi and I can tell you that wear and tear is not that bad. They have a bad reputation for a reason. It isn't like people are complaining just to hate on them.
So the 100,000 trouble-free miles I've done in my Range Rover, including pulling a horse box for aybe 15,000 of those is fiction? I've had a Disco and a RR - never had bother with either.
The British car reviewers rarely, if ever, talks about Land Rover/Jaguar's poor reliability.
Of the past you mean.
Shin Ken What does reliability mean?
Yeah,..because it's greatly improved these days. Stop living in the 80s. We've had JLR products in our household for 15 years nearly, no problems with reliability or quality whatsoever. But of course TH-cam experts are so much more knowledgeable than everyone else.
Thats not true - perhaps you got away with decent ones. But every Range Rover or Jag in my family - so about 12 in the past 6 years has had issues. But then, I drive a Lexus so maybe I'm being unfair.
When did I say I personally had 12 Jags/Land rovers? I said members of my family has had them. They keep buying them because they're used to them or like the brand image and have historically bought only Jags/LR - probably helps that some of them work for JLR and therefore get 25%+ off list price.
Unreliable cars do not bankrupt a company, in fact, they do quite the opposite - they bring in a lot of revenue and there is an element of psychology involved whereby customers are brought into the showroom to fix a car and end up liking another one, hence more sales.
Nice Ford.
Chavtastic! I wouldn't be seen dead in one.
hummer jeep ....is alays king ....
It's too beautiful
Tell you one thing!!! All shiny SUV OR CAR are sucks they are too expensive and no reliable at all !!! When you spend over $100 000 they should last at least 10 years with out braking!!!!! But they don't give a fuck about people rotation rotation.
Why does this look fake
Thanks for the review. Based on exterior design and interior styling, the Velar is the only current SUV I would swap my Peugeot 3008 SUV for. Whilst the F Pace and Macan perform far better than my 3008, their interior styling is dull by comparison. In my price range I chose the 3008 over the Seat Ateca because I value comfort and interior styling over performance. It would be the same with the Velar, if I could afford one. For me, the exterior and interior of the Velar are so much better than it's rivals. Sod the bigger wheeels, though.
Why does it look fake
That thing looks bad for off roading.
if i get enough views on my channel i'll be able to roll one off the lot
Hii
POS
Who will buy this old crap when electric SUV's hit the market? Come on Land Rover, stop polluting the air. We all need to be able to breath clean air! Whats classy about a cattery old petrol or diesel engine?
1st
Everything Land Rover jaguar touches is refined. Lmao such crap. A brand that depreciates faster then a diaper filled with shit. Range stuff is expensive to fix and don't last. These are gonna be at the dealers all day. Find used ranges with 15k miles or less for half price or better. No one keeps these things. Money or no money ppl don't keep.
OK so another thick American here I presume. Not only stupid but Ignorant. The Range Rover is one of the top 5 cars to retain its value over a 3 year period.
What the fuck is with that music man is this a joke 😂😂
Hideous car
Very negative people out here give it a chance please ,at least the indicators work on LR products .I thought BMW had a recall on the not working on them
old rovers are unreliable ,
but it's not the case with new ones , if you keep them serviced you have nothing to worry about ,
and all these bitches who keep complaining can't afford these cars and just blab like idiots because someone told them .
and no matter what you think , this car is the best looking SUV in the market ,
mr dinkleberg I can't agree more with you :)
"and no matter what you think , this car is the best looking SUV in the market"
But that's quite literally an opinion lol so it does matter what people think, no? I think the entire Land Rover/Range Rover range looks pretty average, and would rather an F-Pace, E-Pace, X5, Macan, Cayenne, Levante or Stelvio over any of them.
And you know this because you own a range yourself?
mr dinkleberg What does reliability mean?
Old Rovers actually are reliable. i own a first year Range Rover Sport and i also work in Land Rover/Jaguar service. i see countless of those come in with close to 300k miles that still run like brand new. it's all in how you take care of your vehicle, no matter the brand
Interesting that the same company can make a pretty car like the Velar (apart from tailpipes to clise) but also make the ugliest car produced, the truly hideous new Discovery!
i dont like the disco sport and i found the old ,,normal,, disco better then th enew one becausee th enew one doesnt look like a discovery anymore. But i dont think its that ugly if you dont compare it to the old Discovery
The rear of the Discovery is ungainly. However, I drove one for the weekend, including towing my daughter's horsebox to a show, and it is incredibly competent. It's twice the car the Disco 4 was and the nicest place in the world to do some towing.
It would have been nicer if they could have put the door handles into that waistline just above. I feel like suicide doors would have suited it to, would certainly make child seats easier
Which road is it in Norway?
All car videos have crap music but this is not the worst ! I blame Brexit !!
Like that house at the beginning.
Hes wrong. Car isnt quiet, uk roads are shite.
best
Where is this place?
I like this reviewer. Never seen him before, he did a good job and is pretty entertaining. Also to the editor.....dude fade in the music after the talking parts and dont use the exact same piece of a song every time!!!
2nd
The music is driving me to distraction. Whoever edited this should be fired.
Great video and what a stunning looking vehicle..look no further than here
"it had me at hello"...what kind of review is this? pull your tongue out mate.
Well auto express took the red one and auto trader the Gray one
👍1 boleh tu
I do like the interior, but prefer Evoque's exterior stilling
Lol who wants a jag or lr lol. Mercedes G550 or BMW 7 series
just one word to say 'gorgeous'
Your not big if you about 6 feet tall...
terrible music...and im still going for the xc60
Same I'm getting the inscription pro T5 with all the bells and whistles where I could get a base velar with no rear heated seats
It didn't break down during the review = Not a real Range Rover
