Range Rover Velar review | Is Land Rover's new SUV a match for the Porsche Macan? | Autocar

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Land Rover says that the new Range Rover Velar is the best driver's car it has ever made. It's a sensational looking beast, slightly less rugged than full-fat Range Rovers, but still has four-wheel drive and Land Rover's Terrain Response control.
But it is better than, say, the Porsche Macan or an Audi SQ5? Find out here.

And, it can not be denied that Range Rovers are compared to Rolls Royce in comfort, and they never cease to be Land Rover, right?

I do enjoy the space and features of our Odyssey but Velar is hitting some of those points and much cooler! Ciao, ALDO

    Very good review - I drove one recently and the review is spot on. There is nothing not to like in the Velar but it just lacks something in the performance. If refinement does it for you then you will love it but personally I wanted refinement plus some genuine sportiness to really make me go wow - and I didn't get that. Looks fantastic inside and out (although the touch screen does show the finger marks more than most because of its angle) but doesn't drive as well as the Audi SQ5 or the Porsche - and the Audi does come in quite a bit cheaper.

    Just driven one of these today (300 diesel, but same spec otherwise), and the review is spot on what my thoughts were. The 3 screens are great to look at, but a bit distracting when you're trying to drive. - Plastics are a bit too cheap feeling - Seat quality is still terrible compared to a Macan - Handling is "plush", but doesn't compare again to the Macan I'd have a Velar as a replacement for my Macan, but they really do need a better seat upholster, badly.

    If it feels like an F-Pace that's probably because it shares the F-Paces chassis and some other gubbins. I'm keeping my eye on the Velar though as a replacement for my old RRS. Just need to ensure it has decent off-road capabilities for when our lane is blocked or we get a big dump of snow.

And why are they necessary in the portfolio ? Every luxury suv maker has about 3-4 models across a size and price range like the bmw x1 to x6 for example.

    Looks visually appealing. One of the prettiest SUVs out there. But the engine range sounds lame and are mostly built by Ford. I once had a Rover, it was fundamentally unreliable & boring to drive. I have nothing against this Velar though. I'm actually drawn to the car's pretty exterior but I worry about JLR's reliability, and the fact that they don't drive sporty enough, and the gear transmission/shift is a bit of a joke. I'm currently giving hell to the opposition in my Merc GLC Coupe AMG43 and BMW X4 35d M-sport, both of which I am trading up soon to GLC Coupe AMG63s and the soon coming X4M. The Velar is very eye catching, wonderful interior with those two screens for display, awesome car, that Velar, but I think I love it for someone else.

    It does look good inside out but reliability will be an issue especially with the fancy infotainment system. Will it work without problems even for 30000 km?

    I test drove the Velar HSE Dynamic 3.0d. Lovely car, but by the time you add a few extras to make it a proper luxury car, it cost a bomb. JLR seem to have taken the Porsche route in gouging customers for “extras” that should be standard. Getting the car up to a decent spec, the on road price in Australia ran up to $150k. Too much. The next Evoque might benefit from the Velar styling.

    There is something a bit absurd when reviewers say "I know it can do 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds, we have tested it, but it doesn't seem like it" I take their point that big cars never seem as fast as a little old mini doing 70 and all that stuff. Don't knock a car, though, for being very accomplished. The only issue I would have with this car is that at top spec, it will be every bit as expensive as the Range Rover Sport and very nearly as large and heavy. Is this too much niche marketing.
