Everyone that keeps yelling about reliability, has never driven one or owned one. If you havent had one since the DISCOVERY 2, im sorry you’re traumatized but that was literally 25+ years ago. these new cars are actually solid. Stop yelling unreliable and go drive one
I used to see so many of these when they came out in 2018 or so. Now that I watched this video, I realize I actually haven’t seen a single Velar in the last 6 months. I use to want one of these sooo bad but compared to modern designs, the Velar actually looks outdated. Good review Joe!
Funny to be a “midsize” for American public. In here in Spain it’s a total monster (a neighbour has one and it calls your attention for sure). Nice review as always!
@RaitisRides Joe, Don't stop me now from Queen popped in my head. It was written for u, brother. "Don't stop me now!" " I'm having such a good time, I'm having a ball."
As a previous 2018 Range Rover Sport owner, the vehicle looks good but can not justify spending such money on a new one. Putting it through a laser touch free car wash, it's incredible how much plastic is on the car. High cost to insure & service, as reliability is poor. A large money pit. For the same amount of money, best look at other mid-sided luxury SUVs and for huge savings best look at, say, a Mazda CX-70 for the family. Thanks for uploading.
Yeh around 16:00 you almost drive off the road while trying to show the screen controls. This is what I REALLY hate about the new high-tech "touch screen for everything". You can' t just feal and operate the dials by touch while watching the road, you MUST take your eyes off the road and LOOK at the screen to actually see what you're doing - very dangerous ! Sometimes old school really is the best. Just because it's new, does not automatically mean it's better !
Thats why you get the p250 SE model. Coil springs, 4cyl, with the 8 speed. The i6 has been proven to be reliable as well, but you’ll definitely be fine with the 4cyl model.
You can get a Range Rover for less than a Grand Wagoneer! I never thought I'd see a time of that happening. If I had one, there would be no eating scones or anything, or drinking tea in mine! Nope!
Hey Joe. Good video. Are you sure that isnt a 2025? I traded my Jag F-Pace SVR for 2025 Velar P400 HSE 10 days ago. Wanted something mellower, since traded F-Type P450 for 2024 F-Type P575 R75. Didnt need two bonkers vehicles. Have been pleasantly surprised with performance of the Velar P400 - it's a nice compliment to the F-Type. Great blend of performance and luxury (but the interior is no match for F-Pace full leather. F-Pace are a much better value). Thought I would miss the physical knobs, but have no issue after a week with it (used to Pivi Pro from the F-Pace). The Mode short cut buttons help a lot. My 2025 Velar has 360 degree camera.
You cracked me up with the old lady and the diamond. Beautiful Velar, but I hope they will eventually put a cooler in the center console. Only then will I seriously consider it over the Sport.
I’m definitely biased but I love my awd sport Lyriq much more compared to this. Better styling (imo, styling obviously subjective), 500 hp, super smooth ride, nearly zero road noise, and electric fits my lifestyle perfectly. Had it for almost a year now and I feel like it still stands out on the road!
@@normanoleinik2420everyone knows they're money pits there is no guess work. Anyone that owns one and says they never had problems is a liar and never owned one
Unfortunately the interior of all RR’s have become so stale and “Telsa” like. They are losing their distinctive interior qualities. Particularly the Velar. I would go pre 2024 for the sake of interior beauty.
Heed everyone's warning about Land Rover's horrible reliability. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if Joe had to drop the Velar from this video off at the dealer cuz it broke down right after the on throttle drive. They're horrible. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
Cuz they lease these Velars until the next one comes up for the next model year. Lease darlings is what these are so these aren’t beholden to anyone except social media clout chasing kids flush with trust fund money.
@@HemiLyfestylewait really?? Everyone I know think these look great. Thank god you told me to trust you! That convinced me to change my mind! It’s ugly!!! 😒🤡

I agree , I just bought my 3rd range rover and all last years no one gave me one issue
“That's what she said!” 😂 I need a Range Rover.

Great Video! Range Rover is personally my favorite luxurious car brands. :)
Dang Raiti on a roll
You know you can’t stop me!

RR Velar my favorite 😍
Have you ever done the 2023 BMW x1 or if you have, can you send me the link?

Uuughh … Range Rovers frustrate me. They look soooo good, but totally lack reliability on any level.
AGREED!

Yes of course & I buy this 1 day if I got lottery.

Love that they didn't go with the floating ipad design
It is nicely setup for sure!
Amazing review Joe.

Very good performance numbers. I have to say that it does look sharp.
Better start booking your time at the repair shop. These cars are notorious for the time that they spend being fixed!
11:42 😂😂😂😂😂 Good one, Joe!
11:43 min
Look how big that is.😂😂😂 that’s what she said.😂 you killing it Joe.🤣🤣
Looks good but reliable ?
That’s the million dollar question Tom
@@RaitisRidescoach knows the answer is no
I'll say it for Joe 😏 Hell NO I wouldn't pay 80k for this SUV, are you crazy? 🤣😂🤣
👏🏽💯👏🏽#RaitisRides 💯👏🏽💯💪🏽
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
Joe, I guess the mentality has changed about needing to climb on the roof. The color looks like what GM has in the Dark Ash Metallic.
You are right about that!
The Range Rover Velar Is Very Beautiful😍❤️🏁🚙💨!!!
I go BMW X5M (PC) but I do like the looks of this RR. Yes no 360 camera? Zonk. Needs more physical buttons.
Lease it, drive and enjoy,😎 return it, 🫡😎
Best advice on this one!
I suppose it was too costly to remove the window sill on the Velar facelift.
I wish the Range Rover brand wasn’t so watered down. Was nice when seeing one was a rarity.
I think for most people it comes down to reliability.
I love them just don’t trust them for reliability that check engine light come on they might not can fix it 🤷♀️
Love your car video
I love bringing them to you!
They look great but I’m concerned about reliability. Repair bills are 💸💸💸
You say that a lot
Quit repeating what you don’t know.
💯 true
@@jeremysomeone Oh but I do know.
@@Freddy_Confetti Because it's true.
Looks like a ford explorer or escape
Dont see it at all
Sounds decent
Just something that’s gone be ending in the shop a lot
That’s what she said 😂 classic
Looks good.
This SUV will spend more time at the mechanic’s shop than in your driveway
But the dealer will treat you like a king, or so I hear.
Did you had one or it’s only guess work. 😂
@@normanoleinik2420everyone knows they're money pits there is no guess work. Anyone that owns one and says they never had problems is a liar and never owned one
Can you review the Ferrari Purosangue, Mr. Raiti?
I will try to get my hands on one Adam
This one is my baby, my baby. 😊
Joe, this is a nice unreliable luxury only a money with no brainer would buy these.
Thanks for a great and passionnate review, as always.
But only americans would call a Velar "midsize".
Turbo charged and supercharged to leave you stranded on the side of the road faster😂😂😂
I thought the velar was a compact SUV and the RR sport was midsize
So then what would the evoque be?
@@Big.W. sub compact suv
I’m so upset they took away all the buttons. The point of Range is luxury yet utilitarian. That’s why we buy.
Also one thing I love about my Range is you can cover the cup holders. What happened to the sliding cover??
Joe where is 2025 x5 review
Nah, graduate degree without a rich family can’t afford this 😂
Your doing good but it’s 2024 and that car needs upgrades! same car for 10 years
I can understand where you are coming from.
Still basically looks the same imo
You are mostly right Freddy!
Drive it for a month, and sell it on CARS & BIDS.
How about selling it to Autohaus Of Naples? Or to Bill (Curious Cars) to take to auction?
@@MisterMikeTexas I guess that depends on people.... On where they want to sell. But for me, I would sell it on CARS & BIDS
get it and I will tailgate you with my Camry XSE 😅
The longer the review went, the more you seemed to not like the vehicle
This is over priced by about 15k
Unfortunately the interior of all RR’s have become so stale and “Telsa” like. They are losing their distinctive interior qualities. Particularly the Velar. I would go pre 2024 for the sake of interior beauty.
Whole lot of cash for the badge only
Review BMW x2 M35i
Stay tuned!
So sexy but the sexy comes with cost ...now and after

Nobody buys this.
You are hilarious!
Cuz they lease these Velars until the next one comes up for the next model year. Lease darlings is what these are so these aren’t beholden to anyone except social media clout chasing kids flush with trust fund money.
Trust me they are ugly but people are buying them lmao
@@HemiLyfestylewait really?? Everyone I know think these look great. Thank god you told me to trust you! That convinced me to change my mind! It’s ugly!!! 😒🤡
@HemiLyfestyle its LITERALLY voted best looking range rover. Way to show how stupid you are.
🤎🤎🤎🤎
Most people I know driving this are really really bad driver.
Bad rep is there for a reason.
Easy! Unreliable vehicle, multiple repairs continually not worth the price
Baby Explorer
no.
Looks boring inside and all the controls are found on the screen 💩
:)
Total junk, you will literally have a problem every week.
