Horrible reliability

This is the first and last Range Rover I’ll buy. Spent $98k on a brand new velar and the thing has been to the dealer for repairs 3 times already. Everything I heard about ranger rover’s horrible reliability is 100% true. The remote start doesn’t work randomly. The infotainment system goes out randomly. I got stuck on the side of the road when all the instrumentation inside blacked out. Engine was running all the dash controls disappeared. No speed, turn signals. Nothing. Stopped to restart the engine and it wouldn’t start for about 10 minutes. Don’t waste your money.

We were looking for a medium-size SUV with sharp exterior styling and luxurious interior, so settled on the new Velar as the best intersection of those qualities with reasonable cost. It seats five adults fairly comfortably and has enough cargo room for trips. We found a few other purchase options that were somewhat similar, but weighed at least 500 pounds more and cost at least $10K more. Only one option, the Porsche Macan, had a sportier look and drive feel, but it was compromised in terms of rear seat room and cargo space. We also like the bigger Range Rover Sport, but it's interior (at that time), while luxurious, was dated compared to the extremely modern, clean layout of the Velar's. We were reluctant to buy any four-cylinder car, but the surprising torque of the 247-hp Velar 250 won us over in the end. It's no hotrod, but we drove a long trip in it and never felt it was underpowered. We live in a moderate climate, so didn't care much about the Velar's cold weather features (four heated seats, heated steering wheel, remote start/warmup) , but they worked very well when we traveled to a colder area. The electronics may be the best thing about the Velar. The standard sound system is quite adequate and the navigation is good for an automotive system. (No built-in automobile nav is in in the same league as Google Maps on a cell phone.) But the three-section display of the Velar is as good as it gets. Big touchscreens and very configurable. The net result is a non-geek driver can set up the controls so they can actually be used without reading the manual every time you want to do something. Most modern cars have more electronic features than any driver can use, but the Velar's seem intuitive enough that someone can use the important ones. So far, we are getting a little over 21 miles to the gallon of premium gas. That seems subjectively a bit low, but for a 4200 pound car is acceptable. During the first six months of driving the Velar, the only glitch has been a dead battery, which is still somewhat mysterious, but very likely has to do with what I call "pseudo-shutdown." When in "eco" mode the engine can mimic a shut off when the transmission is placed in Park. The instrument panel does not give a clear indication of a problem (especially with lights in delayed-off auto mode), so it is possible to leave the car's ignition on in the garage. This will drain the battery completely within 36-48 hours. Or so it seems to me and the techs at the Range Rover dealership. The only other unwelcome surprise is the black roof trim of the R-Dynamic package. It looks great, but the pillars are made of plastic so soft that absolutely all brush-type car washes leave noticeable permanent swirl marks.

My Velar almost killed me!

Do Not Buy. Nothing but problems. After leasing the Velar for 7 mon. It started. First the entire system went black. Car shut down and had to wait for all the electronics to come back on after turning off the car. Took me almost a month to get an appt with a loaner and customer service suxs! A few wks before bringing it in for the 6hr upgrade it needed, the Lovely Velar I left in park & running in my driveway decided to drive itself (while still in park) right into the back of my legs and garage. Since the garage door button was not working in the car i had to get out of the car to open it. Yup car literally pinned me against the garage. Thank god i had a little hole to climb out of and my husband was around or I’d be in would hospital or dead. The car had some damage from the garage on the front Driver side light. Of course RR isn’t responsible for this because i have no proof.. not one person would help me and i was passed around like a potato! 2 min later my left side headlights & blinker go .. another issue.. my fault they say due to the accident i had. That will be $5k for a new light they say. Funny when I arrived at service (b4 cking it out) they say.. oh yes we have had people coming in with headlight issues! Such a [non-permissible content removed] joke for a $75k car! They dont care about customers and good service!

Don't do it. The negative reviews are spot on

I leased the SE R-dynamic, V4 because the car was the only one with a modern design and great looks and I though it's a Land Rover what can go wrong? The answer is a lot. Windshield cracked, JLR said it was because of a stone, it was not it is poor quality. Many people are having the issue. But the biggest issue is the noise level, engine vibration and interior ride quality. There is an unreasonable amount of noise in the cabin while driving and at idle. JLR dealer said this is normal, but at a $65K car this is not acceptable. The stop/start is awful, had it stalls and the restart is do jarring that my kids are getting car sick. So every time I start the car I have to disable it, very annoying and again for a $65K car this is not acceptable. In summary the car looks great, but that is about it. Would not get it again. Going up on swap a lease ASAP can't live with this car
