Range Rover Velar (2017-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Effortless and refined performance	Iffy reliability record
Stylish and imposing looks	Top-spec models are expensive
Plug-in hybrid is affordable to run if recharged regularly	A Porsche Macan S is sharper to drive and more affordable

Quick Summary

The Range Rover Velar, launched in 2017, offers a luxurious SUV experience with a stylish design that bridges the gap between the Evoque and the Sport. It features a comfortable, upmarket interior with plenty of space for front passengers and a generous boot (up to 632 litres), though rear-seat space is not class-leading. Driving is relaxing and refined, with precise steering and a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission, with air suspension highly recommended for ultimate comfort.

Engine options range from 2.0-litre diesels and V6 petrols to a plug-in hybrid (P400e) that offers an improved 40-mile electric range in post-2023 facelift models. The Velar also boasts Land Rover's strong off-road capabilities with all-wheel drive and Terrain Response. While it may not offer the sharpest handling in its class, its blend of comfort, refinement, and distinctive aesthetics makes it a compelling choice for those seeking a premium SUV.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish, luxurious, and comfortable SUV with off-road capability, those who appreciate a refined driving experience, and those considering a plug-in hybrid for lower running costs (if regularly recharged).

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising ultimate rear-seat passenger space, the sharpest handling dynamics, or those concerned about potential reliability issues or the high cost of top-spec models.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Velar if: You're drawn to its stylish looks, desire a comfortable and refined driving experience, value off-road capability, or are looking for a luxurious SUV with a plug-in hybrid option.

Consider alternatives if: You need class-leading rear-seat space, prefer sharper driving dynamics, are wary of potential reliability concerns, or find the higher-end models too expensive.

Competitive Position: The Range Rover Velar positions itself as a stylish and luxurious mid-size SUV, offering a blend of comfort, refinement, and off-road prowess. While it may face stiff competition from rivals like the Porsche Macan for driving dynamics or the Audi Q5 for rear-seat space, its distinctive design, upmarket interior, and Land Rover heritage give it a unique appeal, especially for those seeking a premium experience without opting for the larger Range Rover models. The availability of efficient plug-in hybrid options further enhances its competitive edge.
