CARS.COM — For 2018, Land Rover adds another rung to its ladder with the all-new Range Rover Velar. Now the Land Rover lineup is six SUVs deep … and that’s a little confusing. There are a lot of ’em, some of which are priced nearly identically — including the same price as the Velar. But, the Velar decidedly has a place in the Land Rover lineup.

You can tell just by looking at it: It’s a stunning SUV to behold, boasting a commanding presence that stands out in a crowd of cars — but there’s a whole lot more to it than just its good looks.

  • Great car!

    Awesome car with all the bells and whistles. I enjoy how it rides and my ability to handle the car. My niece and nephew definitely take advantage of the sunroof.

  • Best looking SUV

    Beautiful style. Best looking SUV out there. Back seat leg room a bit snug for such a large vehicle. Electronics buggy. Shuts down completely occasionally. Takes a few minutes with car turned off before it will reboot. Great looking interior. It drives & feels larger than it is.

  • My dream vehicle

    I am biased so factor that in when digesting this. Last year (2019) I was driven home from our local Land Rover dealer in a new Velar (I had dropped off my daughter’s Land Rover LR2 for service). I felt like I was riding in my living room (only with a better sound system) so I decided then and there (and after studying sales literature) that I would work towards buying a new Velar (ordered with everything I wanted on it) in 2021. The pandemic made it possible for me to buy an almost new one (15,200 miles one owner) a year sooner so I did it in impulse. The one I bought may be missing an option or two (I was going to buy the top version Meridian sound system with 1725-Watts amplifier power - got the next one below with 825-Watts) but I am thrilled. It has taken a few weeks of YouTube video watching and trial to learn most of the Velar’s features. Still learning. I liken being in a well-equipped P380 (supercharged V6 with 380 horsepower) R-Dynamic SE to being in a spaceship with wheels. The Velar has these gorgeous super high definition displays down the center front and a driver display with similar visibility and nearly a thousand display options. The cockpit and interior is where I go to feel safe and glorious. The Velar couples this feeling with abilities I have never owned in a vehicle: examples: the above the Velar 360-degree “Bird’s-Eye or Hovering Drone View” of the vehicle and its near surroundings - this view of the Velar’s surroundings appears whenever the Velar senses you may be getting close to something - the Velar makes you aware of anything that gets too close anywhere; my garage floor is higher than the sloping driveway I back down so every time I put the Velar in Reverse both driver and passenger mirror automatically tilt downward as the vehicle starts tilting backwards - works flawlessly! ; the Velar tells you before you begin a trip if any passenger is not properly belted in (my daughter’s friends thought I had eyes in the back of my head or in the back seat ; one of the coolest things I have ever witnessed happened when I returned to home after dark and parked the Velar in my garage - my garage door openers have lights and they were ‘ON’ but no other lights were on. I noticed when I opened my driver door that the Velar was illuminating the garage floor near both my driver door and at the passenger side door with a gorgeous circle of light with the image of a Velar inside the circle!! I am just amazed at the thought and consideration behind designing this feature into the vehicle. You never step out anywhere into total darkness. Wow. I just love this vehicle. Some words of advice: get the P380 - but an e-vehicle if you are worried about fuel economy and/or carbon footprint or number of barrels of oil burned a year - skip the 4-banger P250 as that is a different less glorious vehicle; get the R-Dynamic as it means the vehicle rides on magnetic based suspension like most modern Corvettes and some Cadillacs. You won’t regret the benefit in ride, handling, and off road bad weather driving. Get the 825-Watt Meridian surround system minimum as it rivals the sound of my 14-channel 8000-Watt main home theater. The British remain marvels at sound reproduction in moving vehicles (note: Bose made in USA is OK but is in no league close to a well engineered and specified British design - the Meridian system in my daughter’s LR2 rivals my $20000 home system in pure enjoyment. I bought a seven year transferable bumper to bumper extended Land Rover warranty - do likewise as it is great financial security and adds value to the vehicle when sold. Dreams do come true.

  • An SUV that lives up to its expectations

    This is one the best looking, both inside and out as well as smoothest driving cars I have ever owned. The luxury of the leather, along with the great technology put into this vehicle makes it a joy to drive. I foresee myself being a part of the Land Rover/Ranger Rover family for a long time!

    I'm two years into my ownership of the Velar and I absolutely love it. It has power when I need it, but always has a comfortable ride. It looks better than anything out there, too!

  • Not worth the money. Too many issues brand new

    I have no front camera 360 parking assist. Just a back up camera. Which you can get with an economy car. The software system glitches. Sometimes doesn’t turn on. The eco system doesn’t work anymore. So I’m no longer saving gas. It used to turn the engine off ect. Brakes squeakingWhy ??less than. 10k miles and I’ve had it for almost two years. Factory software update was performed at the dealership due to recall. The mobile app still showed I needed service and tire pressure check. After I had my normal maintenance. The sensor to pop the trunk with your leg never works. Only the front two seats heat up. Really like for a 60k car. Ps50 S. I should have never bought this car you can get more for price.

  • Looks gorgeous - but not worth the money

    I have had my 2018 Velar for 18 months. Leased one with all the bells and whistles to the tune of almost $80,000 which makes for a big monthly payment. My retirement gift to myself. 18 months later and only 6,700 miles - my dream of one day owning a Range Rover have been all but shattered to bits! The infotainment system that they brag about is garbage. Constant malfunctions. I have had to leave my car doors unlocked in mall parking lots because the doors wouldn't lock! The infotainment system will go completely dark and stop working! That means you have no heat in the dead of winter or cool in the sweltering heat of summer. No radio. No navigation - god help you if you are lost. My husband drives a Dodge pickup truck which was considerably cheaper than my Velar. When someone sends him a text message it appears on the screen, reads it out loud to you and asks if you'd like to respond-which you can speak an answer to! You won't get anything close to that in the Velar. You can answer the incoming call (if the infotainment system happens to be working that day) and many times it does not recognize your talk command. I would expect this from a $20,000 vehicle but not one that costs 4 times as much!!! You can't auto lock the doors until all 4 doors are shut which is ludicrous. The remote app they give you clears itself whenever it feels like it so you have to startup the app and come up with a brand new pin in order to check your car gauges or auto start your vehicle. Yesterday I sat in the service area for 5 hours as they put in an UPDATE that was supposed to fix all glitches and promised to have everything working "top notch" as the service guy said. I didn't even mind sitting in the waiting area for so long since a loner was not available. my thought was at least the problems will go away. WRONG!! 2 days later, my doors would not lock again and the system went completely black so that i had to drive 45 minutes with no heat in 22 degree weather. My advice.....look at high end Lexus or Mercedes for the same price. Velar is a Lemon!
