New Range Rover Velar review: Better than the Germans?

  • Meet the new Range Rover Velar!
    It’s a step down from the full-blown Range Rover, and Mat’s about to find out if it’s worth the £54,000 starting price.
    When it comes to the design, there are several updates over the previous edition. Around the back, the Land Rover badge has been replaced by big Range Rover lettering across the back. There are also new 3D effect taillights, as well as an updated bumper. Along the side, you’ll find a choice of new alloy designs, and on this car we have the 2-tone effect design thanks to the black roof. Up top, there are a couple of new design elements, including new headlights, a new grille, and an updated bumper.
    Step inside, and there’s been a big change with the centre console. Gone is the second screen and physical climate control buttons - they’ve all been removed and that functionality added to the infotainment system. In their place… Is nothing! All you’ll find is a large gear selector surrounded by silver plastic.
    When it comes to the actual infotainment screen, it’s been updated, but it’s not the most intuitive system. There are buttons on the steering wheel to manage the digital dials, but the menu can be a bit convoluted. Thankfully though the general design of the interior is nice, with lots of soft-touch materials throughout.
    When it comes to engines, there are a couple to choose from. If you want a diesel you can choose either a 2-litre turbo or a 3-litre with 200hp or 300hp respectively, and if you just want petrol there’s a 2-litre turbo or a 3-litre six-cylinder with 250hp and 400hp. All these cars come with an 8-speed automatic and four-wheel drive.
    There’s also a hybrid available, which comes with a 2-litre turbo petrol and an electric motor that can put down 400hp.
    So what do you think, is it worth the £54,000 price tag? Especially when you consider this can rise to almost £80,000 for the top-of-the-range model?! You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

      I think people should also seriously look into investing of some kind. Something that brings money back to your pocket, real estate, stocks, whatever can bring back value to their bank account rather than draining it. Obviously investing has its risks but so does just having money in depreciating assets or straight up liabilities.

    The over reliance on touch screens in modern cars is currently my least favorite trend. Dedicated, physical buttons/dials are an absolute must. Especially for things like climate controls, driver assist features, turn signals, etc. Nobody likes swiping through unresponsive touch screens in the cold just so you can turn on your heated seats.

    The older interior had more of a sense of occasion about it . The tilting upper screen , the dual function climate/seat controls , the split upper and lower graphics which changed depending what driving mode you were in . The shifter that rose from out of the centre console , the hidden cup holder that appeared when you pressed the land rover logo . This one is just dull.

  • @Maccaboy1984

    Totally agree about the interior update, it’s not good. It looks and feels more like a cost cutting change than anything else. Cheap plastics, bland design and no cup holder covers at key touch points for both driver and passenger = poor. I went to my local dealer to check out for my next car, but I’m pretty disappointed.

    I really don't understand why auto makers go out of their way to make the driver experience so awful by removing physical buttons & controls and using haptic buttons. While not everything needs to be a button or dial, stuff like aircon, defogging, volume absolutely should be. Stuff that is used frequently should not be buried in a touch screen when it is clearly not safe for a driver to take their eyes off the road to find and use it.

    I have the old style. Pulling away at a round about, it hesitates which is a bit nerve wracking, and most times you just wait for bigger gap. Leg room in the front passenger seat is terrible. In the cold, the handles don't pop out unless you use the remote, and even then some of them don't open, or close.... Low profile tires make a very uncomfortable ride, and usual electrical faults from LR. Depreciation has also been hell. Bought 2nd hand for £44K, 2 years later, 26K. USB devices don't always work, and sometimes, there is a huge delay before the radio, or music starts playing (depending on what mood the car is in!!). DAB signal is terrible compared to other cars in the area. And as covered in the video, you are quite low down to what would expect from such big car and the front pillars obscure your view when turning.

    • @jamiebray4205
      @jamiebray4205 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The thing is with all cars, 90% of features work as learned behavior. If you own the car and you use a feature more than a couple of times, you know exactly how to operate it. Therefore there is a lot on inconsistency between reviews of other cars which have been reviewed much more often or used as long term cars where journalists are much more familiar with how they work.

    • @clairewilson5512
      @clairewilson5512 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The review also hasn't been tested correctly. You can use the talk button on your steering wheel and ask it to do something for example set temperature to 20 and it will adjust the temperature for you therefore you don't need to use the screen. If you want to touch the screen you can just slide it up and down depending on how hot or cold you want it. There is also a short cut button on the steering wheel you can set for example heated seats. It's extremely easy to use and the effect of no buttons has been completely over exaggerated !

    • @jimrothwell535
      @jimrothwell535 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Agree with the two comments. Sat in one at a dealer getting my 2012 LR4 serviced (no, it wasn't broken, 105k mile standard service) and within 30 minutes I had most functions figured out within the system. While I was a strong supporter of separate temp dials, I actually started to like this system. And I saw the short cut button and was going to configure it for AC but the salesman caught me and politely commented I might not want to do that on the floor model 😂 Anyway, I liked the screen and layout more than I thought I would. The nav screen was really nice - bright, responsive, 3D version was adjustable so you could pull the horizon up or down - nice. Also, the center console armrests slide forward to cover the cup holders, so completely negates that comment.

    I always liked RRs and still do, but the interior is a serious disappointment to me. The old one was cumbersome and slow (something the new gen does not seem to improve on) but it was way nicer and definitely classier, which let's face it, RR is all about class. So much so, that had I been able to actually afford one, that could well end up being a dealbreaker for me. Just has that 90s budget car vibe to me.,

Thank god for the warranty, but my car was not even that high mileage, not to mention that it was driven mostly on long trips with my family and well maintained. They also have issues on almost all of their engines, mine is 3.0 SDV6, but the petrol ones have issues too. I think that only the 4.4l Diesel is good, but I'm not sure if it's even still on sale.
