Love everything about this SUV. It’s ultra modern dash was a huge selling point. I got the R Dyanamic with the digital display. If I had to find something that I didn’t like it would be the gas tank at 16 gallons is too small.

Before the Velar I have had a BMW 3 series, an X5 and most recently a 5 series. It was time for a change to an SUV and I narrowed it down to the Velar, X4, Q5 and Volvo XC60. I was literally blown away by the handling, style and the interior. As an IT guy I love technology and felt the Velar had the best features for the buck, a nifty UI and center console that looks just amazingly uncluttered. Yes, (as noted in other reviews) there is a bit of a lag in the UI and it will be great if they can make it more responsive but considering how much features they have put into it I am A-Ok with it. If the X4's handling is hard and the XC60's is soft it sits somewhere in between a Q5 and X4 IMHO. I have only had it for a month and have loved driving every moment of it. Haven't had a chance to go on a long drive yet but with whatever city driving I have done so far it's been mostly in the normal and R-dynamic mode. You'll seriously fall in love with driving in the R-Dynamic mode and the only reason I still use the normal mode is to save on gas. Which brings me to my gripes so far... 1. the mileage. I am using premium gas but getting only 17.5 mpg while averaging 25 mph in all city driving. I dont really push on the gas after a stop either so not sure if my mpg is normal or not but am really hoping after a few long drives or with maybe more time it'll improve :). 2. The sound from the audio is rich and very nice but sometimes I get a crackling noise during phone calls and certain songs, this has been happening on and off and I haven't really been able to narrow it down to whether it's an issue with the song i am streaming from my phone, the bluetooth connection or the Velar's audio system. It's never happened while playing regular FM/AM radio but has happened a couple of times when playing Sirius so go figure.

Beautiful inside and out. Infotainment is great although took a few trips to the dealer to work properly. Upgraded seats with 20 way adjustment are very comfy. Recommend 20” wheels and then ride comfort is pretty decent.

So I leased my velar r-dynamic s feb of 2018 from Cole European in Walnut Creek ca. Literally 2 weeks after my signage date , I’m in the shop for an update , and so on in the same increment for 2 months different issues. To sum it up I reached out to Land Rover America for help because my intention was to purchase the vehicle so I put $18000 down and paid 609 a month so 6 months in when I’m totally tired of going thru run around they tell me I don’t qualify for a buy back but they’ll give me $4000 and a different vehicle and to sign a waiver that would wave me ever being able to sue them In regard to the vehicle. I declined let 3 months go by and try again , since the tally’s on my list were continuing to grow. Same offer , Mind you I’ve contacted sales manager with no response . So I then contact my lawyer to put me in touch with a good lemon law lawyer, small world he’d been through the same thing so since the begging of my lease it has been issues 38 months and haven’t drive. Vehicle since last June had to purchase another vehicle since that on is unreliable, gotta say the lack of power or stutter that it makes when pushing gas peddle is the worse. Please don’t buy
