It's a sad shame that this doesn't get the V8. That engine would make the Velar, pound for pound, the most awesome vehicle, and it would crush my RR Sport.
Oh! Only 8 out of 10. I thought the way you were oozing over every bit of the Velar it was going to be a comfortable, easy 9 out of 10. I thought you were so in love you might go as far as 9.5.
I don't think I've ever given anything a 9.5 out of 10. The Velar scored well in each of the eight categories (here's my full review: www.carsguide.com.au/car-reviews/range-rover-velar-se-r-dynamic-d300-60071) but lost marks for Ownership. RB
That bum motion to open the boot should be trademarked. But littering the environment again with abandoned luggage should be punished hahaha (ps in monotone colours, a fancy Outlander on the outside if you squint your eyes!)
Personally when I think Land Rover I think relaxed, quiet comfort internally, not loud. To me loud suggests cheap, lack of sound deadening. I prefer relaxed quiet driving unless I choose to have the windows open.
I am surprised they don't give reviewers the model with the bland and ivory/white interior which personally I think shows off the quality the best though im not sure how easy it would be to keep it looking pristine especially if you love to take your dog with you as I do...perhaps I would stick the dog in the boot in that case.
Land rover is the brand range rover is the model then range rover has its own line up with the range rover, sport, velar, evoque Then u have the land rover models which is the land rover discovery the defender and the land rover disco sport
This is the future of what crossovers will look like in the next few years. SUV body plus very low to the ground. The Velar looks like it could be an electric car.
CPSLondon:- True they are not the most reliable brand, but they are more reliable than BMW and Audi and who would make a comment about those two being in the garage after a review.
I can 100% vouch for what you have said. I own one and its been back to the service center 4 times in 2 months. Had issues the week after it was brought home.
ARGH, that roll has reminded me of travelling in my mates dads van when I was a child, really hated going round corners in that thing, always felt like it was close to rolling.
@CarsGuide: Why in some sequences (for example at 08:00 or 08:25), the reviewer is sitting and driving on the left side of the cabin? Isn’t this a right-sided steering wheel type?
The Velar does look more "Elegant and Sophisticated", but the F-Pace has that mean aggressive look. So I suppose it will come down to personal taste - as all beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Kardesian bottom... Haha... U r one of my best car reviewer
Thank you, Abdur. You are one of my favourite viewers. RB
I get strong top gear/Grand tour vibes from this guy and video
Harry Kane is not playing football again? - He has changed to car review
You've gotta earn a living some way. Thanks Richard
Could have done without the Kardashian comment though..
It's a sad shame that this doesn't get the V8. That engine would make the Velar, pound for pound, the most awesome vehicle, and it would crush my RR Sport.
This guy look like Edward Norton lol
This guy is so weird
I know right. He's making things over dramatic for no reason
That’s why he is so entertaining to watch. Makes the review much more interesting.
I know. I can't stand him. RB
It’s called “humour”!
Thank you, Garry RB
A young Nicholas Cage...
Ha! You know I was once asked to be his body double in a movie. RB
CarsGuide Even a young Edward Norton...

Oh! I'm disappointed again. Why? Because the link didn't work ;-(. P.S. Surely you would give your reviews a 9.5.
Kardashian buttom?? Yuk 💩
WOW, that boot lowering would be super handy for me, and for getting my dogs in the vehicle.
Absolutely, it lowers down quite a long way. Thank you Richard
That bum motion to open the boot should be trademarked. But littering the environment again with abandoned luggage should be punished hahaha (ps in monotone colours, a fancy Outlander on the outside if you squint your eyes!)
The Land Rover Bum Motion™ Tailgate. That would be hilarious. Wish you hadn't have said the Outlander thing - it's all I can see now! RB
I plea for forgiveness Mr RB!
All right then...all is forgiven RB
I think this is the nicest design externally of all the Land Rover, Range Rover vehicles the rear is not too pinched nor to square.
If Ed Norton recommends a vehicle ... You buy it
Annoying accent, I Would not buy the car just on that basis!!!!
Personally when I think Land Rover I think relaxed, quiet comfort internally, not loud. To me loud suggests cheap, lack of sound deadening. I prefer relaxed quiet driving unless I choose to have the windows open.

Great review though you gave it an 8/10 but I don't remember you suggesting any criticism of the vehicle other than a bit of body roll.
Range Rover
Sport
Velar
Evoque.........
Where does the discoveryy come?
vk vlogs Discovery is Land Rover series.
Land rover is the brand range rover is the model then range rover has its own line up with the range rover, sport, velar, evoque
Then u have the land rover models which is the land rover discovery the defender and the land rover disco sport
Why are there no new Range Rover Velar/Evoque reviews in any main Australian car review channels?
That’s true.
Orderd mine, should get it in january. Cant wait :D
In the final 1/4 of the video he keeps switching sides
"pretty tall for a human being 😂"
JLR reliability and quality are horrendous.
Kardashian bottom... hehehehehe
Yup! Richard
How many cars did you test.... keep switching from LHD to RHD!!!!!!
Wha???? If you or anybody can show me driving a LHD Velar anywhere in this video I'll give you a prize. RB
Oh I see what you mean now - yeah we used a gopro and the image has been reversed! You can still have a prize. RB
This is the future of what crossovers will look like in the next few years. SUV body plus very low to the ground. The Velar looks like it could be an electric car.
👍
I had no idea Edward Norton was doing car reviews in Australia these days
How do one activate the auto dynamic drive in d300 se velar 2018?
Love ur videos and ur reviews
Thanks mate. RB
Thank you! Richard
wow, I love your review...The Veler is my best car
Their trim levels just too many, quite confusing
They should create this similar dimensions of range rowe lwb
The only thing this needs to be topgear is an angry producer.
best car review i've ever. :)
Thank you! Richard
Junk in the trunk... I know what u did there!! LOL
Pedal shifts in this videos so annoying
Matome Ramphele Exactly! Were on my nerves!
The introduction 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Shame it will spend more time in the dealers with warranty issues than on the road.

I really like range rover veal
I will buy this badass
Very Very Very Nice
1:10 look at his face......
Superb car👌

@CarsGuide: Why in some sequences (for example at 08:00 or 08:25), the reviewer is sitting and driving on the left side of the cabin? Isn’t this a right-sided steering wheel type?
the camera just has a mirror effect (go pro most likely) so it looks like the opposite
Thanks @Tom Ritchie, for the explanation.
Can this mirroring effect be adjusted (i.e. horizontally flipped)?
Yep, that's right we used a GoPro and it flips the image. RB
Thank you for giving the Evoque it's just due,all it did was save JLR's ass .
The vehicle is obviously a slightly bigger Evoque.
20cm is a fair difference in terms of tight parking.
Bro speak you way men you like struggling to
First time I heard someone praise a numb steering feel and calling it luxurious. Totally an unbiased and fair review. Keep it up.
You are nuts ... the F-Pace still looks better than a Velar!
And around 10-20k less for the same stuff.
Hmmm... F-Pace is pretty pretty, but I love the Velar's swoopiness RB
The Velar does look more "Elegant and Sophisticated", but the F-Pace has that mean aggressive look. So I suppose it will come down to personal taste - as all beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
True words John. I like the F-Pace's grille. I want to see a big Range Rover rival from Jaguar - that will look great I reckon. RB
John Snape beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder..........
