The Velar was Land Rover's attempt to split the difference. The result was appealingly familiar .
Note for reference: car weight and power data is hard to pin down with absolute certainty. For consistency, we use the same source for all our guides. We hope the data we use is right more often than it’s wrong. Our advice is to treat it as relative rather than definitive.The D240 had 237hp at 4,000rpm and 369lb ft at 1,500rpm, delivering a 0-62 time of 7.3sec, a top speed of 135mph, and 48.
Land/Range Rovers have acquired a bit of a reputation for battery drain over the past few years. This is very much not helped if you don’t lock the car when you come home, because leaving it unlocked leaves the infotainment system running, with predictable results the next morning. Stop/start might not work either if the battery condition is low, which it may well be if you’ve left it at the airport or whatever for a week or so.
As you’d expect from this manufacturer the Velar was packed with a big suite of driver assist and safety systems. Low Traction Launch, Hill Descent Control and Gradient Release Control were all standard but Terrain Response 2 and All Terrain Progress Control were both optional. There was loads of space in the cabin in a general sense, but those in the rear might have wished that the LR stylists had sacrificed a little of the coupe look for a bit more headroom back there. That styling choice also killed off any possibility of a seven-seat Velar variant.
A plastic part inside the LED headlight assembly might come adrift for no apparent reason, moving upwards and obscuring part of the DRL. Some owners succeeded in warranty claims on that. Replacement headlight units are reportedly £3,500-£4,000 each. Rear light cluster lenses could crack on the inside through heat-related adhesive debonding. Rear LED indicators could conk out and a malfunctioning rear radar module would cause the blind spot and traffic control functions to play up.
The Vehicle Location function in the In Control remote app might tell you that your Vehicle Could Not Be Located. The electronic selector control might fail to rise, rendering the car undrivable unless you happened to have some sort of suction device to lift it. The temperature of the air coming through the heating/ventilation system could go up and down in an apparently random fashion.
