Overview

Land Rover has a dual personality. On one hand, you have vehicles such as the Range Rover and Defender that rely heavily on their storied history. On the other, you have the Evoque, which is a more modern interpretation of the brand and caters to people looking to get into their first luxury SUV. The 2023 Land Rover Range Rover Velar sits in the middle of that lineup, adopting the Evoque's sleek style and combining it with more space, power and capability.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2023 Land Rover Range Rover Velar P250 S 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.97 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

As a Land Rover, the Velar also comes with some impressive off-road abilities and all-wheel drive as standard equipment. Even if you're not planning on exploring the wilderness, the Velar should be an excellent luxury SUV for those in wet and snowy climates. This year, the Range Rover Velar returns largely the same. Last year's HSE trim has been renamed HST, with most of the same features.

On the inside, the Velar delivers the kind of experience expected of a premium luxury SUV. The quality of materials is excellent throughout the cabin, and the minimal and high-tech style leaves a lasting impression. This doesn't come cheap, though. The Velar is more expensive than many rivals in the class, including the Genesis GV70, Mercedes-Benz GLC and BMW X3. These may be better alternatives for everyday use, but if you desire some off-road capabilities and are drawn to more modern styling, the Velar is the clear choice.

Which Range Rover Velar does Edmunds recommend?

Go for the R-Dynamic S trim. It looks sportier than the base S and doesn't cost much more. It also gives you the option of getting the six-cylinder engine. We prefer the six-cylinder for its more robust power, but know that Land Rover says its availability will be limited in 2023. You might have to settle for the four-cylinder. Consider adding the Dynamic Handling package to add the more comfortable air suspension.

First issues were mostly electrical (screen not working, error messages while being stopped at a red light, back camera not working, etc. I took the car in two opportunities and they explained these cars usually need software updates.

My 2019 Velar R has been plagued with issues from the day I drove it off the lot. It was in service the next day! The infotanement system which is also the heating, air, defrost controls is plagued with issues. Many times it goes completely black. You have to shut the vehicle off to get it to reboot.

If your looking for a mid size luxury SUV then you should at least consider the Range Rover Velar.

Brought the 2019 version, been at dealer shop 3 times already. I can only said advance design with lots of pre-mature technology.

Land Rover Range Rover Velar vs. Genesis GV70

The Genesis GV70 is currently our favorite in this luxury SUV class and for good reason. It's spacious and comfortable inside, it performs admirably, and best of all, it's the value leader among rivals. The top GV70 trim with the six-cylinder engine costs less than the base Velar and you get plenty of added features and one of the most comprehensive warranties in the business.

Land Rover Range Rover Velar vs. Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class

The GLC has historically held the top spot in its class. For 2023, the GLC is being completely redesigned and we wouldn't be surprised if it reclaims its class-leading status. You won't get the kind of off-road abilities that the Velar offers, but it should be more comfortable on pavement and have a better infotainment system.

Land Rover Range Rover Velar vs. BMW X3

The BMW X3 has a much lower starting price, but the six-cylinder M40i is priced right in line with the equivalent Velar in R-Dynamic S trim. The X3 is more powerful and emphasizes overall on-road performance a bit more, while the Velar gains an advantage with a smaller audience seeking some off-road adventures.
