I have a Sport and a Velar, I prefer driving the Velar, it seems easier to drive, more fun for some reason
I love Both Range Rovers🤍
FYI it was awarded the 2018 World Car Design of the Year Award and also was the runner up in the overall 2018 World Car of The Year Award (which the Volvo XC60 won). The reason it wasn't awarded the best in the overall category is because the Jaguar F-Pace (on which the Velar is based) won the award in 2017, and the judges probably didn't want to be accused of favouring JLR cars
awesome seeing somebody properly testing the Velar. love it.
Ya it was fun. Thanks for watching
Big balls nedeed to do this Velar's test, bro. Congrats.
Pretty good for a car with no rear diff locker, no low range, and street tires.
agreed
@Wilder Henry Flixportal :D
@Jett Mekhi thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it!!
@Wilder Henry you are welcome :D
That's a real rest drive. Hope the dealership didn't get mad 😀
Too a bit of slack for this to be honest. Won’t be using their cars to “test” anymore with out proper permission. Just keeping it real with you 😉
Personally i really like the look of the velar but I think it looks better in some other colours
Exactly! I specced mine in Silicon Silver and would you believe it, there was a Maybach and a Mulsanne at my school, but all everyone was talking about was the Velar, its paint and its flush door handles. If you want a car to shame those overly and pointlessly exuberant individuals the Velar is the SUV to buy. Why would anyone term it as fat? Isn't that supposed to be a compliment towards the designer for having successfully mastered the art of designing cars? It's a visual technique, helped by the sloping roof line and wide LED tail lamps
Id recommend that u buy urself a phone gimbal so u can get rid of that shakiness when ur filming outside, they are pretty cheap for what they can do
Ah great idea
What driving mode were you in while driving through the offset holes? Having a locking rear differential would’ve made a big difference even though it still looked fairly easy to go through it. What tires do you have on your sport and what tires were on the Velar?
I was in mud ruts mode. Stock tires, whatever it's sold with. I think they were pirellis. I got the same ones but right now I got my winter tires on, Michilan x ice snow
Thanks for the input and test. I just ordered my Velar P400e. It will more than cover my needs, where i live you almost have to drive out of the country (Belgium) to find a mountain. I see it more as a better capable station wagon, with a very cool look. I did opt for the Terrain Response II and Terrain Progress Control. The back diff is not an option for the P400e Plugin-hybrid unfortunately; i even had them call Land Rover HQ to make sure as i would have added it.
See in your situation I think the Velar is great! Very excited for you and nice jon opting for the TR2 😎
Man, like seriously, you are the first person I have ever witnessed to have called the Velar as "too fat". Guess what, the SUV is designed to look like a yacht, which is why the bow (rear end) hunkers down, while the front of the roof is raised up. Also the new full size Range Rover is expected to follow in the footsteps of the Velar. The Sport is way too overpriced for what it offers, and the Evoque is too small, which leaves us with the Velar
In all honesty and (according to Doug) it is a much better way of designing a coupe SUV than say a Mercedes GLE Coupe's or BMW X4's rear end, which seem odd and sedan like.
I wonder why you are bashing the Velar so much? It doesn't compete with the Sport, it competes with the likes of the GLC, GLC Coupe, GLE, GLE Coupe, XC60, X3,X4, X5 and Q5. When compared to all these cars, the Velar has much better off road capability and a properly drafted and cohesive design.
Well said
Never been a Range Rover fan until the Velar was revealed. In my opinion the sexiest looking Range Rover ever made. Now I'm in the market looking at the Velar. Its so far ahead of other Range Rover's in looks and design
Great vid. Really does show that they do have 'off road' capability, but they make everything looks and sound so much hard work. A 1980s Range Rover classic would have breezed over those obstacles without lifting a wheel off the ground and without a locking differential insight, let alone traction control!
Can’t compare a 1980s with a modern Velar at all. One wasn’t even made back then and one is built for the city first and trail second. However you can still argue even back in 1980 a RRC was ahead of its time in terms of technology
the RRC is a mighty SUV but it lacks what the velar has on the road. The RRC Doesn't even have ABS.
Really helpful review. I own a 2019 Velar R-Dynamic and am thinking of switching to the Defender. I love my velar on the road, taking mountain curves, it’s sleek and sexy and drives like a sports car in my opinion. However, I wasn’t sure what the velar could do off-road, but this really helped me think about the lack of a low gear and not being able to see from a higher sitting position. Thanks for the review.
The Velar can definitely handle it’s own off road to an extent. I was really impressed with it. Even though it’s road focused it’s ready to get dirty when the pavement ends even on street tires!
Velar looks soo much better than any other Range Rover in my opinion. People who buy this are not buying it to go off-roading but it was nice to see it can still perform the task if needed.
Correct. Velar customers don't really need or want something for trails. But it will take them there if they need to
Loved the Velar real life review. Thanks.
Very nice video bro. But u cant say all that abt the velar its very good.
It did evrything of your offroad tests. It passed evrything. And it looks crazy good. The car is very beautiful bro ur insults r not.
I could get a Kia through these tests. Doesn’t mean it’s made for them
love this guy, not afraid to use a range rover. : ) thank you my friend
😎
Great video as usual! When are we gonna see a mashup with your Red beauty and TFL's Defender in the ultimate LR off-road video?
Once they get the damn borders open!!!
Tell your friend to get their Velar tuned at Velocity AP and to get the crankshaft pulley switched out as well it made a massive difference to my Velar!
Ya I got my RRS tuned by them. Loved it. How much Power do you have now?
They say it could be between 460 and 480 but I wouldn’t know for sure unless I had it dyno tested. It’s extremely fast! It feels like a completely different vehicle
That's solid man
The average weight of a Range Rover Sport is 5100 pounds the average weight of a Range Rover Velar is 4300 pounds. That makes it a rocket ship and it goes from 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds
It's a crossover and it did well all things considering. Did you ever find the mall?
Starbucks drive thru is what I settled for 😂
Big fan from Japan!
Home of the 1994 Toyota Celica
I was trying to decide which RR model to trade my BMW M 4 for. I was leaning toward the Velar until I saw this review. I am not giving up my M4 for anything less that a RR SPORT. Thanks Hard driven , you saved me. Keep Climbing ! Brother P.S. I hate the rear of the Velar also
Good call bro!
I love this car
mixed feelings for me lol
@@DrivenHard 😍😍😍😍😅😅
Same, as a student of Architecture, it has all the elements that make a design and the end result great. It's not just for show, it's very practical and leagues ahead in off road worthiness when compared to rivals such as the Porsche Macan, GLC, GLE Coupe and more
this is really a gt cruiser or a tall wagon basically with some light off-roading capabilities, not meant to be a full off roader like the full fat or the sport
Yes 100% correct.
This is for us, City boys
What driving mode were you in while driving through the offset holes? Having a locking rear differential would’ve made a big difference even though it still looked fairly easy to go through it. What tires do you have on your sport and what tires were on the Velar?
I was in mud ruts mode. Stock tires, whatever it's sold with. I think they were pirellis. I got the same ones but right now I got my winter tires on, Michilan x ice snow
Check out the single amber button on the dash at 5:01 and 10:07. This means that hill descent control was on throughout the entire video (or at least the majority of it). Pretty poor I must say. Why would you engage hill descent control while going uphill? It would only needlessly engage the brakes. ATPC is available for that
HDS control goes on automatically based on what terrain mode you are in. It only starts working when you are pointed down hill, other then that it's in standby mode
@@DrivenHard Oh okay got it. It doesn't engage automatically for me though. I usually use ATPC which automatically engages the throttle and brakes
What do you mean? When you got to mud/rutts it doesn't turn on by default? Like the icon turns on?
appreciated the review for sure but the sound quality really challenged me to watch it all the way through, its probably why you have so few likes versus your view count. Keep up the great content though!
Man you should not change your RRS for atleast five years. We want you to tell the world what’s true about the Land Rover Family
The warranty is good for 80k or 4 years so that is how long I'll keep it lol
I'll most likely get the new SVR when it finally comes out
Driven Hard 😭
So did you get to the mall? haha! Great video!
I did finally find the mall 🤣😂😂
TbhI was trying to see trunk capacity. I had no idea you could off road these things 😅
Speaking from experience, don't bother taking it through deep water. I have taken my RR Sport through water that was splashing over the bonnet in a Dubai flood, and it made it to the other side without an issue
My previous Velar was caught in a flood with water only half way up the doors and the engine died...! Not made for real 4WDriving or driving through creeks, shallow rivers, floods, etc
Ah that’s interesting. Thanks for sharing man.
Agreed. Velar needs a low range. It's nice looking but it's just a big crossover whereas the other big LR's are true off road capable SUV's.
100% man
Like the Evoque and the Discovery Sport? Come on guys, give credit where credit is due, Gerry McGovern just slapped Mercedes and BMW on the face, for their hideous and unpractical Coupe SUVs
The Velar is one of the most gorgeous looking SUVs ever designed! (I don’t own one myself) - looks so much better than what the Germans have come up with.
Why do you need low range? Chose a suitable program in Terrain Response and you are good to go! 😉 It’s no more of a “cross-over” than the evoque. Yes, the RR Sport is more capable - but it does not really compete with a wrangler or a Defender..
@@scandinavia6271 Exactly. Mercedes,BMW and Audi make eye catching coupe SUVs but you can't call any of them "gorgeous" or "elegant". They just seem too in your face and unnecessarily brash, which means in a just a couple of years you'll get bored of the design and it will get outdated.
Not the Velar, which was revealed in 2017, yet 4 years later it still looks better proportioned and feels more special than any SUV from the German trio. In fact just in terms of design, the Velar is kilometres ahead of the Range Rover Sport and Range Rover. The bigger Range Rovers seem a bit too long in the tooth nowadays, which explains why many owners seem to envy the work of art which is the Velar. Gerry McGovern is already 65 years old, which is the age for retirement in the Tata Group. Though the new Evoque and the new Defender were launched after the Velar, you can clearly tell that the Velar is his masterpiece.
Also, you have ATPC (a low speed cruise control) for low speed off roading, where you can just set the speed, take your feet of the pedals and relax.
ATPC is also on the Jaguar XF. It certainly doesn't replace a low range.
Low Range is for better control and way more torque in low speed situations. No matter what the gearing may be for the 1st gear, low range is essential for low speed off roading
I always liked your spirit to use rahne rovers off-road. I wish you had ton of subs.. anyways .. Have a great day
This is gonna be fun to watch!
Lol it was fun to see what this thing could do
@@DrivenHard is it your velar?
No. Friends
Velar vs Evoque which is best for off roading bro ?
Off roading as in? They really aren't designed for off roading BUT they can go off road . But if that is all you can go for, the Velar has hands down a better all around car.
Does the Velar have a rear locker?
That was optional not on this one
Interior isn't bad
Hi I hope Range Rovers sponsors your videos, i'm a staunch die hard fan of toyota have been for years and I even own three of their models. I have been watching your videos for a month now. You have given me another perspective about Ranger Rover. I must be honest my biggest concern with Ranger Rover South Africa is their mechanical issues over 100k km. Unfortunately their Dealers here are know to be very unnecessary expensive 😕 😪 😢 😞. You have given idea to try one model out and see how it goes. My idea of fun is national parks and 4x4 outing.
Great to hear from you. Definitely a few things to keep in mind, south Africa will always be expensive for maintenance as well as Australia for these vehicles, its just a market thing. Just like BMW is expensive to maintain in NA but much more reasonable in the EU
My experience with Range Rovers is brand new under 100k kms, luxury vehicles are not designed to last 10 years or 250k kms like a Toyota is still built to this day for that purpose. So as with any luxury brand it's always best to understand what you are getting and ensure it matches up with your goals in ownership etc
@@DrivenHard
Thank You 😊
Thank u for this video 🤍
Good review, but wrong tires for going off-road
Not for this. Tires are perfect for the type of off roading a Velar is able to take on. Those tires on a Disco RR or RRS yeahs wrong tires for off roading for sure
Overpriced toys, love it
In your opinion, between the Velar and F Pace, which one is the best off road, please?
The f pace is not designed for off road at all
@@DrivenHard are you sure? Because It’s a 4 wheel drive suv
Everything has, AWD now a days. That doesn't mean it suppose to go off road. It has zero clearance, especially in the front. It's designed to get you unstuck while in the city, not on the trails. The Velar is the same thing, it's not designed for the trails at all, it's a city off road that will destroy the competition on an actual off road trail but it's not a vehicle designed to go offroad like a Range Rover for example
Remember 4wd is NOT the same as AWD
@@DrivenHard thank you
It’s alike a frelander 2
Hill decent works fine without low range
That’s isn’t the issue about not having a real low range.
@@DrivenHard I didn’t say it was, but you did say that you didn’t fully trust hill decent control without a low range because the speed is a little too high. That’s not the case it’s adjustable and you don’t need the brakes at all.
Im use to a much slower pace creeping down hill. I could not get the Disco Sport to creep down a steep decline at 2-3km/h at its lowest settings. It’s better then not having the option of course.
great video
Take the big boy Range Rover off-road!
Just wondering is it all faux leather ? Or animal leather is there
I freaking hope there's animal in the leather. It's feels like real leather not the fake crap
I think it’s good looking car but I don’t trust off road capability not a solid 4x4 car
By the way appreciate your review really help it a lot
Its best in its class, but not a real off roader for sure
Hey from India, we wish you to get a million subscriber till may....
Bro. I am sorry but u can't drive off road. U will destroy vehicles. I would get through that terrain with a 2wheel drive that u struggled with a 4wheel.
No you won't.
But ur content is good. Keep up the reviews. Come to Qatar and I will challenge you to a desert off road!
