Being a tall person, I am impressed with the space offering and cargo area which is sufficient even with a mini fridge and power point setup. Having said that, the Air Suspension does offer a superb ride which checked just once when it locked in on height control which was rectified properly. The transmissions 8 speed and has the various JLR selectable modes serving good purpose using the gear shift paddles as well for enhanced driving experience. The vehicle can feel a bit bulky at first, yet with practice, a very manoeuvrable vehicle.
being part of the convenience pack with toggles to drop back seats from tea of vehicle along also with gesture tailgate when you have both hands full of grocery bags. A feature which useful is the activity wrist band allowing you to lock keys and personal belongings in vehicle without worrying whilst working or swimming at beach or wherever. I have had a quite dream run giving me a wonderful driving experience I have never had before including very good service regime when required each twelve months. Despite a couple of earlier glitches with the technology features including a freeze of reverse camera which settled down and checked well. Apple Play is part of my Technology pack as for Blind Spot monitor which is a must for an charge on my Model. The Black Pack and Piano finish veneer interior with perforated leather seats set a luxury ambience as well with being not over the top. Mine is mildly enhanced by larger wheels which afford a good ride experience yet the tyres are expensive to replace when needed. Love the driving dynamics on the highways and mountainous terrain given the bags of torque the V6 is blessed with and wonderful suspension Range Rover is renowned for. Owned this vehicle for 2.5 years (45K) after updating from an Evoque which served well in my ownership experience.
Now onto my next car! I have ordered and waiting for a new Audi will update on this car once I have put it through its paces. I would definitely recommend the Velar if you want a family car with loads of space and effortless comfy drive that anyone can just get behind the wheel and drive.
Would have loved wireless charging and Apple car play or Android Auto wireless as a standard of a vehicle in this segment as most opposition vehicles have this standard now. The phone connection is good and changing between 2 phones is easy. Infotainment is easy enough to use there are times I would like it to be user friendly between the 2 screensĬlimate control works well but a lot of times you have to go in and out of programs to control the speed and temperature again a little bit annoying but overall ok. Interior Design is classy and well-appointed with soft materials no harsh coarse plastics giving the car a luxury feel. Love the door handles that tuck away into the body making the car look clean. I have not taken the vehicle off-road but have taken it on unmade roads and it handles them easily without cabin noise or rattles.īuild quality I have found really impressive solid no squeaks or rattles. The motor is effortless and flows through the gears without hesitation and strain.Ĭomfort and ride are amazing it smooths out the bumps in the road, steering is light and direct for a big car. Since then no issues and I have driven the car 25,000kms economy is running on average around the 11 to 12L per 100kms and that's cruising not pushing the car. Lots of trips and time taken away from enjoying the vehicle approx 6mths to rectify.
I have been told that I have a problem lolįirstly Velar had minor issues that in time were rectified by the dealer. I have had 25 cars in 8 yrs I tend to drive enjoy them and then look for another new model.
Must note I upgrade cars like people change their underwear. Loved the look of the Velar and eagerly awaited the 7mths until it arrived in March 2019. Purchased the Velar as an upgrade to Jaguar XE.
