Used 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar SUV Consumer Reviews
Perfect for my needs
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.

Great luxury SUV
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.
