Nice to see a real life ownership review, thanks.
I have a 2018 D180s R-dynamic which I purchased 18 months ago with 31k miles full main dealership history etc. It now has 46k on it and will be 6 years old in October, no problems to date and still looks and drives like new. The 180 engine has plenty of go and averages about 40 round town with 50 possible on a long run if I’m trying……If you’re car is over 3 years old JLR offers preferential service rates however not many owners seem aware of such. I also get my oil replaced at 12k rather than the recommended 21k which is absolutely ridiculous IMHO no wonder some engines suffer premature damage. 👍
Hey Lester, thanks for the comment. Always great to hear from other real world owners and seeing no problems either. Thanks for sharing your experience with the car. We have filmed a one year review ownership that we will release soon as well which you may also like. The D180 is a great option and like you said great for MPG too! Thanks for chatting to us 🤗
FYI I just had a look at the configurator and you have to work a bit to get it to £70k. With a few popular options I built a perfectly good new model for £57k. Nice to know your 4 year old car has had no problems. Likewise my car has been faultless for 2 years. The problem with the popular stats on any car's reliability is that people only contribute if they have had problems; there is also a silent, satisfied majority.
Hey Tim, thanks for the comment appreciate you sharing your experience. And yes you are right, all the people with no problems don’t feed back it’s only those that have. That’s why it’s so hard to guage a fair percentage of reliability. But that’s why I love hearing from real world owners who comemnt on our videos. Thanks for chatting with us 🤗
I worked for a large national newspaper in the transport dept. We had loads of high end company cars, BMW, merc, audi, range rover and lexus. One of main duties was organising replacement cars while others off the road for any reason. By far the worst brand was range rover, followed by merc.
@@memememe2674 it's not that they're faulty in a major way tho, whatsoever, mostly it's electric bugs, tbf those cars are overcomplicated by design.
A bit sad that he is ‘crossing his fingers’ that nothing has gone wrong so far 😬
Have you seen our new one year ownership review. Thanks for the comment 🤗
Do you get on a plane and cross your fingers, do you cross your fingers when you buy a lottery ticket or touch wood. Everyone crosses fingers our touch wood.
I've had my Velar P250SE for 4 and a half years now. Drives beautifully, acceleration good. Once one issue with a stained roof lining was fixed at new. I have had absolutely no issues with this car. I was going to sell it at year 5 when the warranty expires but pretty sure I'll keep it another 5. It's so trouble free and it'll be a few more years before the market improves on EVs and Hybrids.
Hey Stephen, thanks for sharing your experience with your car. Great to hear from real world owners who haven’t had any problems. Appreciate you stopping by to chat to us 🤗
It's looks have an understated, timeless elegance, quality. Like a 911, it ages very well.
Just like Oliver
Bought one from new,apart from the adblu pump being replaced I have had no problems with the car,first service done no issues on the health report.love this car.
Awsome Paul, thanks for sharing with us. It’s great to hear other people’s real experiences with the car. So thanks for commenting 🤗
Really enjoyed and found helpful - just some feedback (as I also create content and its something im looking into more!) is audio - I would really recommend having bluetooth mics for you and the passenger to make it clear & crisp 😊
Hi Hazel, thanks for the comment really appreciate it. And the feedback. In our other vids we do actually use blue tooth mics. Not sure what happened in this vid. Thanks again for chatting with us 🤗
What common maintenance and repair issues do these have?
Hey, thanks for the comment. We actually have done a video on that as well. Check out our Land Rover Range Rover playlist. Thanks 🤗
My 2019 240D HSE. EX JLR management after I year old 10K miles. Now 47K miles with no problems. I changed the rusty brake discs when pads were changed as JLR would not honour a warranty claim. I did take extended warranty with JLR which has not been used. One of the best cars I have owned and I have owned 54 new cars since 1963!
Thanks for the comment🤗 Brilliant to hear from real world owners. Appreciate you sharing your experience with the car. Thanks for chatting with us 👍🏽
Can u tell me how much maintains charge year almost
Have you had any issues since this video?would you buy a newer Model if you had the option to?
Hey nadine. Thanks for the comment. No issues since this vid. And definitely would recommend if you had the option to. 👍🏽
Im about to buy an p250 HSE, 80 thousand km. Any tips?
Hey thanks for the comment. We are about to release another video soon about what to look out for and a yearly overview ownership too. But I would check infotainment screens (no freezing) timing chain if any work? Door handles makes sure they open and sit flush. Test all gears on test drive. See if had gearbox service. Overall hopefully it’s got a good service history. Good luck. Let us know if you get it and thanks for chatting 🤗
My '19 P250S with the ZF8 transmission has had no real issues but only gets about 22MPG. What I don't like is the dealer charging $350 for an oil change. I do them myself now for 1/3 of that where most of the cost is the oil. Oh and the "throwaway" drain bolt because they don't sell the o-ring for it.
Otherwise, I love the design and the overall look. Very nice interior (as are most JLR vehicles). It drives and handles well.
I can empathise so much with your comment! I recently did the oil change myself, as the price they charge is ridiculous. I used an oil pump and it worked really well as I couldn’t get underneath the car! Thanks for sharing and chatting with us. Appreciate it 🤗
@@CarChatTV I bought some ramps. There are about 15 bolts to take out to drop the gravel shield, then the oil change is simple. Filter is even simpler since it's up top.
Does it have adjustable air suspension hight?
Not on this velar no. I think new ones do tho.
Am I wrong or is the engine Ingenium? Have the problems been resolved or is it still a purchase to avoid?
Hey thanks for the comment, the ingenium engines up to 2019 had a load of issues mainly down to the materials that were used. But the 2019 engines onwards seem to be much better. This luckily is a 2019 d180 model. Lots of people have owned this car with no problems so far. We are doing another update soon. Stay tuned and get subbed 🤗
Assuming yours is approved used, do you know if you can extend the warranty and if so for how many years? Also how much is servicing?
Hi Nigel, thanks for the comment. Il ask Adam what he pays and get him to reply to you. 👍🏽
@@CarChatTV Thank you :)
@@nigelamaning1537 did you find out?
You can extend to total 7 years, I think 3 years extension to original 4 year warranty
Servicing costs depends on your warranty level
I love Range Rovers!! But im afraid to buy one base on reliability stigma that they have😢
Not everyone has problems with them. Any car can go wrong really. If you get one just make sure you check it’s service history and all the receipts, you may find one that has been well looked after. There is a reliability stigma like you say. But still so many people are buying them and they are in high demand. Thanks for chatting with us 🤗
My D300 Velar on 22s is doing an average of 38 - 42 mpg.
Wow that’s decent. Thanks for sharing 🤗
I wanna buy a 2017 velar what's your opinion
Brought our D180 HSE as approved used just over 1 year old for £40k Jan 2020. It’s done 33k and replaced an Evoque as needed more room. Door handle replaced on warranty no other issues unlike Evoque that went red with DPF. Having same engine but north/south seems to allow DPF to get hot enough. Just got brake pads at rear
But might do the whole Brembo replacement as out of warranty. 35mpg
Hey Billyboy, thanks for the comment. Love hearing from real world owners and your experience. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Much appreciated 🤗
I’ve the D180 R-Dynamic, 2019 model which I bought 2 years ago one previous owner with 31k miles - approved used from a main LR dealer. So far it’s been 100% reliable apart from one of the door handles failing in the locked position, thankfully not the driver’s door 🤔. It now has 49k on it and returns 40 - 50 mpg consistently, service wise I’m changing the engine oil around 12k rather than 21k which I think is too long plus I want to look after my engine. Performance wise it’s quick enough for sure and in dynamic mode handling is very good as the suspension firms up. Would I recommend one, yes but make sure you have a decent warranty for peace of mind-there are a lot of RR hater’s out there as you’ll find out should you get one however most have never owned one. Thanks for your review 👍
How’s it holding up now? Just came back from test driving a used 2021 and really liked it. 31K miles. Curious if you’re still liking it and if it’s still issue-free?? Thanks!!!!😊.
Does it feel a bit underpowered?
No we don’t think so, of course if you had bigger engine you can tell the difference but driving this everyday has been fine and Has been doing everything we need it to do! Thanks for the comment and chatting to us 👍🏽
I literally took a leap this year (June 2024) and swapped out my 2016 CLA 220D Shooting Brake for 2020 Velar D240 S. I need the ride height for our trips to the highlands. My main concern was the security around the vehicle but I found out that there's actually a security upgrade with certain models (for free) so I have my car booked in for that specifically. Everything so far feels good, drives well, pulls quick if needed. If you're sensible, you can get over 40mpg from your drive. My last attempt, I was getting around 43mpg and climbing, so I'm curious what it will actually do longer run (eco mode). So it is possible to get good mpg if you drive sensibly. It's possibly not the car to get if you have a heavy foot, but you may actually find that your driving style changes over time as it's just a great car to drive and be in. There's definitely a sense of prestige and class when getting into the car which probably won't wear off for quite a while. Not gonna lie, definitely outside the budget I wanted to spend - insurance wasn't as horrendous as I thought it would be but shop around - car tax for the next couple of years is just going to be something I pretend is not happening 😂. Overall, really happy and love getting into it every single time.
Thanks for the review! How easy or hard is it while parking in the city? Cause it looks like the rear is quite long.
Hey Taras, thanks for the comments. I just replied to your other one as well. We haven’t had any problems and the cameras work really well too. You do have to concentrate when you try and park in smaller spots but after a while you get used to it 🤗
@@CarChatTV thank you!)
Does the front passenger seat fold flat? Can you take the headrest out of it?
We are doing another video on this soon (one yr ownership) and will test this out. Thanks for the comment 🤗
We are looking at a velar 2ltr diesel around a 2020 plate but have heard about problems with the ingenium engine. So now my wife is worried and thinking of a 2020 BMW X3 M SPORT, have you heard of any issues with the velar ? And which would you choose ?
Well overpriced for what it is ?wondering if keeps it value
does it come with 360 cam
Will double check what this one has. But normally with Land Rover you have to spec everything. We doing another vid on this car soon! Stay tuned 🤗

We are going to do another vid on this soon (1 year ownership) and will check this out. Thanks for the comment 🤗
I read elsewhere it does not, but haven't gotten to test myself yet.
I'll never understand people who buy a big 4x4 then opt for a 2 litre engine. Complete waste of money.
As for your Land Rover warranty being good, think again. I have the top level of warranty you can buy, direct from JLR, and there is so much that isn't covered. Great cars to drive, but not so great to own. As for any car can go wrong, yes you're right, but LRs go wrong more then other makes of cars.
Looking at getting a 2017 Velar 2.0 R-Dynamic S - with 50k on the clock. Any pointers to look out for?
Sorry for late reply on this James. I would just check the service history and see what’s been done on it. Take someone with you on the test drive and get them to sit in the back. Majority of people have said they haven’t had any issues with the velar and we have certainly had none with this one so far. We are doing a one year ownership review vid soon on it. Let us know if you got the car. Sorry again for late reply. Appreciate you sharing with us 🤗
Whay year is your Velar?
I believe its a 2019
