Land Rover Range Rover Velar

Overview: Is the Range Rover Velar a Good Luxury SUV?

The midsize Range Rover Velar SUV continues Land Rover's balance of on-road refinement and off-road talent. The sleek five-passenger, all-wheel drive Velar focuses on technology and efficiency. At the same time, a sweeping silhouette makes the Velar look almost like a coupe. Jaguar Land Rover debuted the Velar for the 2018 model year and refreshed the model in 2023.

Key Features

Range Rover Velar Specs include:

• Five-door SUV body style
• Turbocharged four-cylinder engines (gas and Diesel) and supercharged V6 and V8 options
• Automatic transmission
• All-wheel drive

Trims

The Velar SUV starts in base P250 trim, with P340 and P400 upgrades, all indicating engine type. Variants of these core trims include S, SE, HSE, and SV Autobiography (varies by year and engine).

Comfort, Technology & Cargo

The Range Rover brand is the epitome of first-class accommodations, and the Velar lives up to this standard with leather, navigation, and touchscreen infotainment. Available upgrades include four-zone climate control, an interactive driver display, and a premium Meridian sound system. Cargo room is average behind the rear seats (about 31 cubic feet) but doubles when the second row is folded.

How It Drives

Even base Velar versions feel quick thanks to a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and slick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission—P400 models add extra punch. But there’s more to consider than Range Rover Velar horsepower; a refined air suspension and crisp steering help this crossover SUV on and off the pavement.

Safety

The Land Rover Range Rover Velar has yet to undergo testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Reviews

Based on Kelley Blue Book data, Range Rover Velar reviews average 4.1 out of 5.0. Owners are complimentary about styling and comfort but are more critical of reliability and value.

FAQs

What’s the difference between a Velar and a Range Rover?

Is Velar better than the Sport?

The shorter Velar provides better fuel efficiency and maneuverability over the Range Rover Sport but offers less performance potential and passenger space.

New Range Rover Velars start near $62,000, while used Land Rover Range Rover Velars range from $20,000 to $80,000.
