- The Velar is Range Rover's midsize luxury SUV. On the outside you will find full LED lighting, optional wheels, and bronze trim. On the inside you will be greeted by leather seating, 11in infotainment system and panoramic roof. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbo inline-4 producing 274HP & mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2023 Range Rover Velar a BETTER luxury SUV to buy than a BMW X5?

Ah geeze, I just cleaned like 10 of these this past week, I didn't expect to see another one on ur channel! Lol! Good review man! 😎👍
I claim this for 2023 in Jesus name, thank you 🙏🏼
Let me know if you get this. I'm praying that you do!
I love this faith...
@@Gene3echo clearly islam is better 😀😎
@@nuk3fishydude902 Islam came 400 years after Christianity which has always been here😀 clearly Allah was created by man😀 and is dead😀
It’s yours. Mathew 21:22, Luke 1:37 🎉 it belongs to you! Faith can move a lot. God is real and there is nothing too hard for our Father to do through His Son Jesus the Christ, Shalom beloved🫶🏼
I love range rovers Joe....I like this review of urs man.....amazing job done by Joe and llori
Nice review keep up the good work Joe happy holiday to you and your family
I'm thinking of doing a special order range rover but I'm kinda lost if the dynamic handling pack is important since its a separate cost ?
Rear windshield wiper under the fin...NICE!! I love this look. The old Velar looked too thin in the back looking at it from the side. Great seeing you and Lori live the other night!
Thanks you for being part of it!
75K keeps ringing in my ear, Love the fact u bring us everything any make any model
I do love to bring the variety!
Thanks Steven! Your camera work is amazing dude. You always capture the vehicles in their best light and details.
Epic Video Joe!
You are the man Razi
Thanks Joe, Merry Christmas 🎄 🎁
Currently I own an F-Pace which is built on the same platform as the Velar. Some say it's the sporty version and the velar is the luxury version. The price gap between the two is way to big to make that jump. Yes you definitely get more vehicle with the Velar but I don't think it warrants a $15k jump.
My 2023 v6 has a fully digital dash no analog. Was rare to get that as well as v6 cause chip shortages and engine priority is going to defender. Love it so far about 5k miles on it already
Oh wow that is crazy! I am glad that you are enjoying yours!
Great review Joe! You had me laughing with your comments. Who does your videos because they’re tremendous! Lol.. I know it’s Lori! Great job! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
12:18 into the video and it triggered my OCD so hard after you mentioned it, but in all a very good review, thank you for the explanation
I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the good work and I love the video 👍
Aesthetically brilliant. Mechanically potentially catastrophic.
This is the #1 reason to LEASE.
BINGO!
The crazy weather conditions performance it offers while it's still alive makes it worth even tho in a few years it'll break but yeah lease it only
Any range rover from last 10 years is good if ur a mechanic and can fix it n overmaintain it
makes no sense a lease doesn't cover your engine damage lmao at least here where I'm at. You get 5 years of warranty by know so you can go and buy and sell it later on
@@v12-s65 where are you at?
I need to add a hitch to either my 2022 Velar R Dynamic S or my 2022 X5 sdrive40i. Total weight for the tow will be 4090 lbs (dry boat and trailer). Any advice?
This is my dream car I love the way the Range Rover velar looks it’s a beautiful SUV they just look amazing
Dream big Damian!
At 75k, I can’t believe the lack of amenities (full display, heads up display and USB ports). My ‘22 4 cylinder X3 has them.
The armrest cover slides forward to cover the two drink holders... a lot of people don't realise that 👍
Happy Holidays Joe and Lori, absolutely gorgeous vehicle but as others have noted the Velar is ridiculously overpriced given its lack of performance. Probably the most underwhelming on throttle I’ve seen in awhile. 😢
I totally understand Jim!
PS- to answer your original question, the X5 4.0 is a relative bargain at $65-$70k and delivers 0-60 in 4.8 seconds. ❤ thanks, Joe!
With the cost of gas ⛽️ the 4 cylinder engine will be your friend especially for driving around town as many people do with this vehicle. Where it’s lacking in performance it’s makes up for in handling with all wheel drive. That said if you want performance Porsche cayenne is waiting for you.
had one of these on order for my wife in p400 hse spec. bailed as the build got unslotted and waiting indefinitely, meanwhile it lost 360, quad zone climate, usb charging ports due to chips needed to take 12v to 5v etc. went and ordered her a grecale trofeo instead, due to be built in a few weeks with no tech missing
Sounds like a plan. I can't wait to review a Grecale!
buy her rv
A full plate of Bangers and Mash reminded me of Daphne Moon from Frasier.
I like It a lot!! The only thing I don't like it's that coat hanger on the back of the seat..does It come off??
I was tripping on the clothes hanger, it's like what was they thinking. I don't hang clothes in my car, I hope it comes off lol
When it comes to the body size of the vehicle it’s more comparable to the bmw x3, the RR sport to the x5, and the regular RR to the bmw x7
This car is resting on brand recognition
Big time for sure!
Nobody and I mean nobody makes an SUV as pretty and sexy Range Rover! Keep bringing us that 🔥brother Joe!! Merry Christmas 🎅🎄
Thank you James! Merry Christmas to you as well.
one of the best styles out there.
The lines, the curves so beautiful
Joe, it's amazing how such as a contemporary design like the Velar coming out in 2018 can seem a bit dated just 5 years later in 2023. Design and style evolves fast thought he years I guess!
Ironically, this interior is at least 5 years old and was in the 2018 Velar. It’s just been spruced up but it’s essentially the same car. I can’t even tell if the exterior was changed.
You hit the nail on the head Chris!
It's literally the same car only difference is the gear shifter I different remember with luxury cars they don't change the body for 9-10 years so thrd be 3-4 years left with this body si if anybody has any brains like I did I bought a 2019 340 dynamic with only 25k miles on it BUT it was land rover certified that means I get a 100k b2b warranty either 7 years or 100k miles from the tie I bought it and with the engines mostly being computers now the engine don't even get broken til 50-60k im barely half way thru with the original my model is 85k I bought it for 60k prolly bought it w equity and the 100k warranty I let some1 else take the deappreciation and literally got the same car with double the warrant you'd get if you bought brand new ..... THATS HOW BUY A CAR AND BEAT THE SYSTEM 🤷♂️
@@RaitisRides please I need your advice, 2019 / 2020 range Rover velar vs Lexus Rx 350fsport 2020/2021 please which one is advisable to buy. I love the 2 and don't know which one to pick, please your advice
Hey yo Joe... For $70-$75k man it's missing too much I'll go with a Kia Telluride instead...and if u remember how I do.. I thinking about repairs, insurance, oil changes etc... Good review as always..Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all of y'all Lori, Stephen & of course u Joe... Make 2023 better than 2022...
I would totally agree with you Duke!
hybride rv only 78000
People who afford these don’t think care about maintaice costs lol
I have the Evoque but the Velar is really nice.
You have the base model here. My top of the line model has a digital display and on my windshield. It’s light years ahead of the bmw x5 or x3. I have owned both.
Thanks for sharing that great input!
Mixed gauges is weird, I kinda wish the tach and speedometer were just complete gauges with the screen in the middle. Love it but I just do not see $75,000, especially with the 4-cylinder. I see like $42,000 or something. It's got the prestige, looks, and finish of a Range Rover which I love but an Acura RDX for half the price 35,000 less is just a better deal all around unless your sitting on FU money and don't care.
hybridse rv oñly 780⁰0
Great review Joe.
The Velar is still a very stunning looking vehicle.
I’d say that Velar would get cross shopped against
Audi Q5 Sportback & Q5 Coupe body style.
BMW X3 / X5 / X6
Benz GLC / GLE in either the normal SUV body, or Coupe body style.
And various other brands etc
Depends on your budget etc
I’d buy one with the
P400 6 cylinder motor.
As u said, the 4 cylinder motor is adequate
This was an optioned up S model
Not an SE or HSE model
Due to semi conductor shortages, rear USB’s are currently optional features, rather then being standard.
That instrument display might be standard on an S model.
I’d pay a bit extra and order an S with full digital instrument display.
Full digital dash probably standard on
SE / HSE
OR
Possibly also optional on these models at the moment, due to semi conductor shortages ?
As a British Ex-pat I wouldn’t go near JLR for reliability and value however great it looks without a 10 year warranty !. Just invested in a Genesis GV70, a stunning vehicle and much better value and warranty .. Happy Holidays to you and Lori
That's a bad investment.
I think you hit the nail on the head Merv! Congrats on your GV70! Happy Holidays to you and yours!
@@mbeckford 3 years valet service included .. 8,000 miles service interval, 5 yrs full warranty / 10 yr drivetrain ..
GV80 can be more luxurious if you like.
You shitting on your own country!!
How does the new Grand Cherokee Summit compare?
I own a black 2020 Velar P380 HSE R-Dynamic with 380 HP and that was 86k MSRP new but with 4K miles paid 69k and only had one sensor which was replaced under warranty and no other issues at all. I expected mechanical issues but none so far.
Why would you buy a car while expecting mechanical issues, make it make sense
Joe I like it when you compare cars like these that we both know are rolling piles of JUNK😎
LOL You freaking crack me up Bryan!
I came so close to buying one when they first came out until I read Car and Driver’s long term (1 year) review. They said it was literally in the shop more than it was with them. The electronics were extremely glitchy. The cost of those repairs after warranty expiration would make anyone crazy mad. I’m sure they’ve worked through first model year issues, but it was enough to scare me away long term.
I was gonna gamble buying a cpo velar 6 months ago, check engine came on during test drive lol. Ended up with an Audi A6 3.0t as my options were open instead, so far has been great. Would love to lease a velar in the future someday
My wife and I just test drove a Range Rover this afternoon. The check engine light came on 2 miles into the drive. obviously we hard passed on it.
@@Miskini-tj6ec no way lol. Im not surprised 😲
@@Zedties we are actually headed over to the genesis dealer right now to test drive the new gv80, and the new g90. The genesis warranty is hard to beat.
@@Miskini-tj6ec the new genesis are a beauty, especially with the 3.5T solid choice
It's a Russian roulette type gamble
I bought a 2020 P340 Velar and so no issue yet.

I have a 2020 LexusRX350 loaded with almost everything for less than 50 thousand. Very happy with it, I won’t trade it for anything!
It's just not the same feeling, even with the 2023 Lexus models
MERRY CHRISTMAS JOE! :)
Same to you and yours.
Great!
Thanks for letting me bring it to you!
can you drive it in that low position?
I’ve had a red 2020 Velar sport when it was still a new striking design. I would get SO many looks and head turns and compliments. You felt like you were in spaceship and the drive height was great. The interior double screens were new and high tech but buggy. Unfortunately, there was a lingering noise from the arm rest area they couldn’t fix and the radiator had issues that needed to be fixed. But most importantly the 4 liter engine was incredibly slow. It was very unbearable at times I’d see Hyundais faster than me. It got to a point where $75k was just not worth the lackluster performance. I ended up trading it in for a Alfa Stelvio. Also a 4 cylinder but that sucker is fast. I’m paying a lot less and I shaved 2 seconds off the 0-60. The Stelvio gets a lot of looks as well. I think the v6 velar would’ve been a a better option vs the 4 cyl plus noting beats a the opulent look of a RR but but at that point, 90ish thousand would buy me a high performance SUV. Not worth it. Love my Alfa.
How many horse power had your Velar?
Best to buy a G wagon
@@MrFerovac 247 it was heavy and a boat. Torque wasn’t enough either
Thanks for sharing. Great comment about your Alpha. That’s definitely a great unique design and engineering.
RR is just full Luxury, nothing for going fast as long as you domt drive a SVR Model.
Do they still have the svr
Why does he not give the BMW X5 spec after the RangeRover? Maybe this is why, just a couple I picked up on. Center screen RR 11 inch Something, BMW 12 inch Something. Next RR towing 5000 pounds, BMWX5 towing 7200 pounds, next RR analog dash, BMW All digital dash, RR no USB in rear, BMW USB-C times 2 in rear. RR one hatchback door, BMW X5 rear door plus tailgate to hold your stuff in when opening hatch unless you want tailgate down. Totally avoided all HP and 0 to 60 specs, teehee. I did think this was a nice SUV but he did really bad trying to prove to me this is a better choice than the BMW X5. I did really like the rear wiper under the spoiler though, that did beat BMW X5
Beautiful 😍
Just drive these for two years and trade them in , they sadly fall apart way to soon . Nice suv but not for the price and quality that's my opinion tho .Much love from Canada love all your videos including my six old .
That is best thing to do Brian!
I had a 2019 HSE and traded it after 2 and one half years.. No problems, but always nervous on long trips. My BMW X4M is perfect.
It looks stealthy and sexy.
Big time for sure!
Don't call it an SUV...just call it Beautiful! Thx Joe And Steve!
You are so very welcome Aaron!

For a $75,000 car, the backseat console is surprisingly bland. My family jewelry will not be touching that back seat.
I can understand that one for sure!
I agree with a lot of what has been said, rather go Porsche, Lexus, Kia or Hyundai.
I like this Range Rover Velar!
I am so glad that you are digging this one.
Nice vehicle that only drives around the service departments at Range Rover.
Thank God no fake vents
Tell me about it for this price especially.
@@RaitisRides yup
Does it have ambient lighting tones ?
It wasn't mentioned so I seriously guess not
Several years ago I drove some Range Rovers for a transportation company. Moving them from one place to another. I was not impressed. Kind of expected to see a Bud lite light inside the doors.
Thanks for your great input Everett!
The materials really aren't that nice. I thought the same thing. They felt pretty low budget for how expensive they are
Can someone explain why they place the USB in such an inconvenient space?
If you’re not going to do a full digital (at 75K….) then you should at-least do something similar to the Porsches, much better blend with traditional gauges and modern displays. And it doesn’t look so -cheap-
Good call for sure!
This will be my dream vehicle to own Joe.
Sounds good to me!
Just be prepared for the nightmare to repair and maintain these.

Why won't we buy if we have factory warranty? Won't the dealer cover most of the major issues?
Sure are sexy vehicles. But. Is it better than years gone by for dependability and life expectancy. That are known as the most expensive vehicles in the junk yard.
I know how you feel! Just make sure you keep the warranty.
2023 car with analog speedometer is crazy. Specially at a 75k price
I’m digging this suv but I would like a little bit more technology per se.
Especially for the price!
@@RaitisRides absolutely 💯
Really great brand if you wanna spend more time with your local mechanic
That is what many say!
😂😂
Joe,
Sexy for sure, But is compare more of X3 And Audi Q5. For $75,000 No full digital display, No USB in the second row, but they have organizer and a suit, coat hanger and air suspension controlled even from the rear to easy and 22 inch wheels i guess is worth it.
The USBC for the rear is behind the arm rest
That is kind of weird.
I want one bad but I see year after year, reliability issues. I wanted it to travel with family. I just can’t see breaking down. Haven’t had those issues since being a teen
I wanted one too, but I only hear negative things about the Range Rovers. And this was from guys that I trust. I decided to order a 2023 Lincoln Consair Reserve.
J - I know it's all about the LUXURY with this example, but the engine & hp is a tad underwhelming for 7 trillion dollars lol. your report is brilliant = per usual, but for personal reasons, I'd actually go for the Alfa Romeo. tony
Just wait until you see the one I have coming tomorrow Tony!
Ordered the velar and waited almost half year without any updates, then canceled and just picked up a new X5 last week.
Good call Sean! Congrats on your new BMW.
good fiú bmw best hybride
Did you get all your money back that you put down on the order, or do they keep a percentage
@@sheliajohnson1262 everything back but would recommend to clarify that with the dealer before the order
I think its about time you bring us an Audi RSQ8 review
buy ir
Here back in the UK you don't see that many driving on the roads these days & what ones you do are either on they way back to the main dealer for repair or they on the way to the dealer for repair !!
😊It would certainly be my first choice between the two 😀 😄 😉 😅
I see what you did there Blair!
New sport V8 would be a cool review!
Sounds good to me!
hybrude v8
Hmmm $75K for this, or the same amount for a Chevy Suburban High Country with the 6.2 V8, covered in leather, can tow a battleship, magna-ride suspension, HUD, Supercruise, carries three more humans, and 30 more cu.ft. of cargo. Let me think about it...
the interior is so guessable they need to do some remixing
Did he say 2 L engine??? 2 L with 22 inch wheels? And dynamic S?
Gorgeous uncluttered design... but I agree with islandon22 being lease only.
The Velar is beautiful inside and out, but honestly the P250 engine should be skipped since carrying 4000lbs of Range Rover is definitely overworking it. The R-dynamic P340 with the 3.0L Inline 6 far better suits the Range Rover upscale feel in terms of power, smoothness and the 48V MHEV start-stop system is significantly better than the base 2.0L turbo.
That said, like any other Range Rover product this is very overpriced. But alas you need to pay to play with the RR name on the front and rear.
buy hybride
I recently bought the 2023 Velar P340 and love it so far.
The Velar is not an SUV in my book. It's a crossover... great looking vehicle but you're not getting anywhere near the SUV category. But, it seems nowadays that anything other than a traditional sedan is a SUV due to America's desire for SUVs and the industry slapping the SUV tag on everything.
Beautiful car, but reliability is a major issue with these.

How’s the new velar look ?? Looks sexy
We have a 2023 Velar as a loaner while our Sport Supercharged Dynamic gets some routine maintenance (oil change, etc.) done at the dealer, and I hate this thing more than any car/SUV I've driven in 10+ years. The lack of buttons and knobs for the stereo and HVAC is absolutely insufferable, plus the screen collects fingerprints like it's the FBI. EVERYTHING must be controlled through that horrible touch screen and it's ridiculously laggy, too. Not to mention that I have to disable the auto stop/start (which violently shakes the whole car) through that screen every single time I start it, and then drill down several more screens to disable the intrusive and infuriating collision avoidance and lane departure nannies. I'm not sure which engine this one has, but I could jog faster to 60 mph. In addition, I have to dislocate my wrist to be able to push the start/stop engine button because it's hidden behind the steering wheel at an almost completely adjacent angle to the dashboard, the pop-out exterior door handles are a total pita, opening the split-lid center console by your elbow is inconvenient as hell, the transmission is even slower to react than the touch screen, and the wallowy suspension makes me feel like I'm seasick when I go around turns. I'm not sure why anyone would pay anything for this hunk of garbage, much less pay the exorbitant amount the out-of-touch idiots who designed it think it's worth.
Oh wow thank you for sharing that experience with us!
Damn they make some seriously sexy SUV’s and I don’t personally mind some of the price ranges . My concern is from the lack of reliability from people I know who have purchased them . I’ll seriously consider getting a Range/Land Rover once the quality and reliability improves 🤷🏽♂️.
