Velar looks good, feels great
Glenn H, 01/02/2018
2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar
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.
