Land Rover Range Rover Velar Verdict
Wonderfully plush and modern interior, latest touchscreen system is a vast improvement, as comfortable as you'd expect from a Range Rover.
2.0-litre diesel doesn't go with the premium feel, noticeable lean in corners despite the sporty pretensions. Report of build quality problems.

The Range Rover Velar is designed to bring a 'new dimension of glamour, modernity and elegance' according to Land Rover. Indeed, it describes it as a new type of Range Rover for a new type of customer. So who is the Velar aimed at?
Well, presumably it's someone who wants a car that sits inbetween an Evoque and a Range Rover Sport. This is the 'white space' (their words not ours...) that Land Rover has apparently identified.
Essentially what you're looking at is a more 'dynamic' Range Rover designed as an alternative to the likes of the Porsche Macan, Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe and ironically the Jaguar F-Pace, with which it shares much.
So does the Velar live up to all the hype? Well it does a pretty good job. It's certainly a lovely looking thing, even more so when you see one in the metal, so to speak, and there are some special details, like the retractable door handles.
Then there's the interior. It's a huge step forward for Range Rover in terms of technology and design. In fact, the cabin is one of the best around - of any SUV (or crossover or whatever this wants to be labelled as). It's a lovely environment to spend time in and feels genuinely luxurious.
Despite the more swoopy shape, there's also decent space in the back and a big boot too. This is still a practical family car and being a Range Rover it's also pretty handy off-road. But it's on-road where the Velar has been designed to excel.
Here it's something of a mixed bag. The steering is quick and responsive - and there's loads of front end grip - so you'd think it would be a recipe for decent handling. But the body control is still very much in Range Rover territory, which means it rolls a lot, especially compared to a Porsche Macan.
That said, it rides well enough and is very relaxing to drive. What we're not too keen on is the 2.0-litre diesel engine. The Ingenium unit is certainly quick enough but lacks the refinement and smoothness you'd expect of a premium car like the Velar. Luckily, there are also decent petrols available.
As for the name. Well 'Velar' dates back to the original Range Rover prototypes of the late 1960s. Back then Land Rover was limited to agricultural vehicles for farmers. However, keen to expand sales in the USA, it started work on the Range Rover in 1964. It used the Velar name to disguise the development of the prototypes on public roads between.

Land Rover Range Rover Velar handling and engines
- Engines range from D204 MHEV to P550
- Readers report Real MPG to be between 18–50 mpg
The Velar seems to struggle with a split personality. While Range Rover has imbued this with a more dynamic (we hate that word) character in order to give it a sporty feel like the Porsche Macan, it still has the feel of a Range Rover.
Confused? Well, to make it sporty, Range Rover has given the Velar very quick and responsive steering. Surprisingly so in fact. Like the Jaguar F-Pace, it doesn't feel particularly natural, but it certainly makes you think the Velar would be impressive in corners. And indeed, there's plenty of grip when you tackle a bend. However, there's also a lot of body roll. And it's here where the Velar doesn't perform as well as the likes of the Macan.
The pay-off is an impressively smooth ride quality meaning the Velar is wonderful for long distances. You can happily pack this up for a few weeks away and drive across Europe in it. That's helped by the lovely interior and supportive yet cushioning seats.
But is it as dynamic as Range Rover would want you to believe? Not quite. The Velar promises much but doesn't quite deliver at the final hurdle. The F-Pace feels more planted in corners. Not that this is everything of course - how often are you going to throw your Range Rover into a tight bend? It's just that given all Land Rover's talk of how road-biased the Velar is, you naturally raise your expectations.
While we're pointing out some of the less than positive aspects, there's the issue of the 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel engine. There are two versions available in the Velar - badged D180 and D240 to signify their power output. At least the Land Rover badging system makes more sense than Audi's...
This is an engine that's used in everything from the Jaguar XE to the Discovery Sport and F-Pace. And it's not short on pulling power. The D240 version has no less than 500Nm of torque and hustles along very nicely indeed. For a 2.0-litre engine, the performance is very impressive.
What's not so good is the sound. The four-cylinder engine is noisy on start-up and sounds coarse when you accelerate. And we're not talking about thrashing it here, merely accelerating from around 30mph onto a dual carriageway. The standard fit eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox does its best, but it can't hide that sound.
With all the marketing of the Velar as a premium and sophisticated SUV, the 2.0-litre diesel engine just doesn't suit. The positives are of course fuel economy - the D180 has official economy of more than 50mpg - but when you're spending this much on a posh SUV, you'd expect a bit more.
There is of course the 3.0-litre diesel that's used in the big Range Rover and the Sport. This has 700Nm of torque and is our choice in the Velar. It's rapid, easy to drive and sounds good too.
But if you're not covering big miles, there's the option of a sensible petrol with the P250 - a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that has a claimed 37.2mpg. Want more power? There's the same engine but upped to P300. And the pinnacle of the range is the P380 which has the renowned 3.0-litre supercharged V6.
The latter comes with four-corner self-levelling air suspension as does the 300PS diesel (it's an option on the D240 and P300). This makes the Velar even more cosetting and drops the ride height above 65mph to reduce wind drag. All Velar models can also tow 2500kg.

The interior of the Velar is a big step forward for Range Rover. And it's a lovely environment to travel in. This is one car that impresses everyone who gets inside. It feels like both a genuinely luxurious and modern car - not something we've been able to say about a Range Rover before.
The real highlight is the new touchscreen system which does in fact include two screens, both with a lovely deep and clear display. And best of all? It actually works - properly. So when you touch the screen, it responds, instantly. It's a long way from the previous Land Rover system which looks very dated in comparison.
Called Touch Pro Duo, the new layout has two high-def 10-inch touchscreens on the dash above each other. The top one (which you can change the angle of) does all the navigation, radio and the like while the lower one has climate and the display for the Terrain Response.
Not only does it look up to date - and high quality - but this new system means the Velar can do without loads of buttons everywhere. Suddenly the interior of that Porsche Macan feels very old hat...
While the Velar may sit below the Range Rover and the Sport in terms of price, the interior feels equally as good as those two. The seats are supportive (and come with heating, cooling and even massage functions if you fancy...) albeit they're not as sumptuous as the bigger Range Rovers'.
But overall the level of finish is very impressive. It's not quite palatial - there are some cheaper plastics low down, but that doesn't stop this from being one of the best cabins we've experienced.
And practicality? Well it may be a bit lower and a bit more swoopy, but this is still a Range Rover, which means a very big boot - knocking on more than 630 litres which is not far short of a BMW X5. You can drop the rear seats with handes in the boot, plus a gesture-control tailgate (you can open it by kicking your foot under the rear bumper) is standard on all but the entry-level model.
Plenty of hat room in the back means you won't ruin your quiff plus there's decent legroom, although if you're six-foot plus and sat behind someone equally as long limbed, it's a bit tight.
Standard equipment from launch:
Velar comes with automatic transmission, Terrain Response Torque Vectoring by braking, adaptive dynamics, 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, flush deployable door handles, Luxtec and Suedecloth seats, 8-way manual seats, heated front seats, cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, heated windscreen, keyless entry, DAB radio and InControl Touch Pro Duo (250W).

March 2017
Range Rover Velar launched
Designed to fill the white space between Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Sport, the Velar is said to offer levels of luxury, refinement and all-terrain capability never before seen in the mid-size SUV segment. Land Rover calls it 'a new type of Range Rover for a new type of customer.'
The full-LED headlights are the most slender ever to appear on a production Land Rover vehicle. The flush deployable door handles emphasise Velar’s reductive, sculptured form, and contribute to the low drag coefficient from only 0.32 – this is the most aerodynamically-efficient Land Rover ever produced.
Design-enabling technology has been engaged fully to create the new Touch Pro Duo infotainment system which is the centrepiece of Velar’s interior. Touch Pro Duo features two 10-inch high-definition touchscreens integrated seamlessly behind secret-until-lit surfaces. These slim, intuitive displays work in harmony with the cabin architecture while adding an overall sense of modernity congruent with the vehicle’s exterior design. All of this is equalled by Velar’s practicality: luggage compartment volume is an impressive 632 litres-litres including a reduced-section spare wheel as standard in the UK.
The Velar offers a sustainable, premium textile seat material as an alternative to leather. The Dapple Grey material was developed together with Kvadrat, Europe’s leading manufacturer of high-quality design textiles, and is complemented with Suedecloth inserts in Ebony or Light Oyster.
The Velar features a sophisticated all-wheel drive system, four-corner air suspension, (available on 300PS Diesel and 380PS Petrol engines) class-leading ground clearance of up to 251mm (213mm with coil springs), class-leading wading depth of up to 650mm (600mm with coil springs) and Land Rover’s unmatched suite of traction technologies including Terrain Response 2 (optional) and All Terrain Progress Control (optional). Velar – like all Range Rovers – offers world-class all-terrain capability.
Exceptional performance and efficiency come from the range of six petrol and diesel powertrains, all matched to smooth-shifting ZF eight-speed automatic transmissions and all-wheel drive with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics.
Clean, refined four-cylinder Ingenium diesels are offered in 180PS and 240PS variants, noted for their low 142g/km CO2 emissions and high 500Nm torque output respectively. These engines are joined by the new, highly-advanced four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine which delivers 250PS and enables acceleration from 0 to 62mph in just 6.7 seconds. An even more powerful, 300PS version of this engine will join the Velar range later in the year.
The V6 diesel combines an extraordinary 700Nm of torque for effortless acceleration and off-road capability with emissions of only 167g/km. The 380PS supercharged V6 petrol engine combines exhilarating performance with a unique soundtrack and enables Velar to reach 0-62mph in only 5.7 seconds,
The Velar and Velar R-Dynamic core range comprises Standard, S, SE or HSE specifications. Customers can also specify Black and Luxury Exterior Packs for an even more distinguished appearance.
Of all Velar models, the most exclusive of all will be the First Edition, which be available worldwide but strictly for one model year only. Even more luxurious than the HSE specification, this model is powered solely by the 3.0-litre V6 petrol and diesel engines and features a wealth of extra features as standard, including full extended leather interior trim to complement the perforated Windsor leather seats in Nimbus or Ebony, 1,600W Meridian Signature Sound System, Matrix-Laser LED headlights and 22-inch Split-Spoke wheels with diamond-turned finish.
Exterior paint colours for the First Edition are Corris Grey, Silicon Silver, and Flux Silver – a unique satin finish exclusive to the First Edition for the first model year only – which will be meticulously hand-sprayed at Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations’ Oxford Road Technical Centre in the UK.

Pricing for the Velar R-Dynamic Black starts at £56,995 or £499 per month and is available to order immediately. Just 500 examples of the limited edition model will be sold.
September 2020
Range Rover Velar updated with plug-in hybrid model
New 2.0-litre four-cylinder P400e plug-in hybrid offers a combined 404PS and 640Nm of torque from its 300PS petrol engine and 105kW electric motor, with a 0-62mph time of 5.4 seconds. A 17.1kWh lithium-ion battery, located under the boot floor, can be charged to 80 per cent in 30 minutes using a fast DC charge point, or 1 hour 40 minutes using a standard 7kW wallbox.
A new range of 3.0-litre straight-six Ingenium engines is also introduced to the Range Rover Velar for the first time. The latest generation of smooth and efficient petrol and diesel engines are available with 48-volt mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) technology for reduced fuel consumption and heightened refinement. The new straight-six engines, developed in-house, are available as D300 (300PS diesel) and P400 (400PS) petrol all-wheel drive variants, each fitted with air suspension as standard for signature Range Rover comfort.
The new engines are available with mild-hybrid electric vehicle technology (MHEV) in addition to the latest engine technologies, for efficient performance. The MHEV system uses a Belt integrated Starter Generator (BiSG) in the engine bay to harvest energy usually lost under deceleration, which is then stored in a 48V lithium-ion battery located beneath the rear loadspace. It is able to redeploy the stored energy to assist the engine when accelerating away, while also delivering a more refined and responsive stop/start system.
The new P400 straight-six engine generates 550Nm torque and delivers an impressive 0-60mph time of 5.2 seconds (0-100km in 5.5 seconds.) The engine features an electric supercharger supported by a twin scroll turbocharger and Continuous Variable Valve Lift (CVVL), for refined performance.
The D300 diesel generates 650Nm torque, offering 0-60mph in 6.1 seconds (0-100km/h in 6.5 seconds) with fuel economy of up to 37.2mpg (6.3litres/100km) and CO2 from 199g/km. Series sequential turbos and an advanced after-treatment system make it one of the world’s leading clean diesel engines.
The new in-line Ingenium diesel engine designs meet Real Driving Emissions Step 2 (RDE2) standards and Euro 6d-final real-world driving compliance with 48V Mild-Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) technology boosting responses and fuel economy. As a result, the new Ingenium diesel unit – also now available in the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport – is one of the world’s leading clean diesel engines.
Additionally, the next generation four-cylinder Ingenium D200 (204PS diesel) is introduced on the Range Rover Velar, offering more power, lower CO2 and improved fuel economy. The engine is offered with the same 48-volt mild hybrid technology as the rest of the range, with CO2 from 165g/km and fuel economy of up to 44.9mpg.
Further updates include the introduction of Land Rover's updated infotainment systems, Pivi and Pivi Pro.
Pivi is designed around ease of use, with a simple interface reducing the number of interactions to enhance safety. Crisp new graphics and super-fast responsiveness are enabled with a new electrical architecture under the surface, ensuring the screens and navigation system are ready to go in seconds, thanks also to a dedicated power source. Customers can access software updates ‘over-the-air’ reducing the need to visit a retailer. An embedded data connection means customers have access to the latest maps, apps and vehicle software modules with updates scheduled via the touchscreen at a time to suit them.
Spotify is integrated directly within the infotainment menu for the first time, with data included, while there’s Bluetooth connectivity for two phones at once.
Also available is the new second-generation wearable Activity Key, which can totally replace the traditional key fob when necessary. The water-resistant and shock-proof wrist device now incorporates an LCD watch and allows customers to start, stop, lock and unlock the vehicle, with no need to take a traditional key fob out with them.
Additional new design features introduced on Velar include a new steering wheel design which has integrated smart buttons ready to receive the latest ADAS software updates over-the-air. A tactile new Drive Selector also replaces the rotary gear selector.
The ‘Range Rover Velar Edition’ provides even more customer choice and features a combination of exterior and interior upgrades. Based on the R-Dynamic SE specification, enhancements include a black contrast roof and matching 20-inch black alloy wheels, for sophisticated presence. The distinctive new special edition model is available exclusively in Lantau Bronze metallic paint, as well as the new Hakuba Silver, Santorini Black or Eiger Grey.
April 2022

What to watch out for

Velar is built on F-Pace production line; they are sister cars, same driveline. JLR released a replacement steel bracket in place of the Aluminium one for the half shaft, this has quietened the noise on the F-Pace, but this bracket has not yet been released for fitting to the Velar.
