    Our "problem" is that we love all models from LandRover ;-) We had a RR Sport which we sold to our son in law, who has become also a RR fan. We have now a RR Velar and are very happy with it. Our best Landrover was a Freelander 2. Great car and super reliable!

    We own a D300 V6 R-dynamic Velar. I do think the final facelift of the Gen2 RRS has road presence, more space and a superior command driver’s position. However, to get the RRS with the properly loaded kit and right looks it’s considerably more expensive then a fully loaded Velar. Importantly, the points you’ve made about size are hugely important for us because when we drive in the English Lake District and around our second home in Como, Northern Italy, here, the sheer size of the RRS and full-fat RR is just too much. Our Velar is about as big as one can comfortably manage while offering space for our skis, other long-term holiday junk and that trademark RR ‘waft’ drive experience. I think you’ve been a bit unfair to the RRS, if comparing a 2019 MY, with the equivalent Velar. However, viewers should note that subsequent MY ‘improvements’ saw the deletion of many beautiful interior flourishes of the Velar - the rotating gear knob that rises upon start-up, the lower touchscreen allowing the driver to swipe displays between the top and lower displays, the superb steering wheel with touch-sensitive buttons and, from MY24, the removal of the lower screen entirely. Less minimalism and more accountants’ reductionism. As a pan-euro autobahn cruiser, alpine ski holiday load lugger, off roader or agile sprinter on Scottish twisting country roads the Velar is excellent. She’s no F-pace or Macan for handling but is pretty close. Thanks for the review video, an enjoyable watch.

      Hey David, thanks so much for the comment. I enjoyed hearing your thoughts and feedback. It’s always great to hear from real world owners and it sounds like you have had some incredible experiences with your Velar driving it around the country. We’ve actually done a vid on the RRS as well (new one gen3) saying why it’s better than the big RR. Which you might like also. I’ve got a new Range Rover evoque hybrid coming soon too which will be interesting. Thanks again and hope you chat to you again 🤗

    I bought a nearly new D240 HSE 5 years ago. It is has been a lovely car. It replaced an Évoque. Very refined . Unfortunately they have spoiled the centre console with the latest version which is 100% touch control. As to reliability, I have had 3 issues. Plastic on tailgate lifter broke, front sensors packed up meaning no 4 wheel drive amongst other things. 6 month wait for parts for this. Theses were covered under my leasing arrangement. The last problem was a rear indicator unit packing up. This resulted in the whole light cluster being replaced. Minor niggles that did not prevent me from driving the car.

    I have a 2019 240 D HSE. AIR SUSPENSION.EX LR Management so loaded with extras. Bought when a year old 10k miles and now 40.000 trouble free miles and definitely one of the best cars I have owned out of 52 new since 1963. Replaced tyres,brake discs and pads and thats it. I have had an oil and filter change every 12,000 miles to protect the Ingenium engine as it can be troublesome with long mileage between oil changes. Essential to take an extended warranty for £800 a year as if it does go wrong they are expensive.

      Hi, the car had a vibration issue that was drivetrain related. It felt like a flat spot on one of the alloys when you got over 70mph - it was in and out so many times and each time they said they couldn’t find the issue.
      The dealer was nice enough however I was concerned with their problem solving abilities - if the computer can’t find the fault then it’s going to be slow. I had to tell them to swap the wheels to rule that out and speak to other dealers / check other fault codes from other cars etc.
      I gave up eventually and bought an M50D X6.

    Great review, and I completely agree with your observations. Originally looked at the 2nd gen Range Rover Sport two years ago as a replacement for my Jaguar XF (we have 2 kids so frequently ran out of boot space), but the RR Sport was just a little too big and awkward for city parking, so went for a Discovery Sport. That was a great buy... reliable, comfortable and rugged enough to deal with the kids!
    When deciding to get a second new car a few months later, with my wife ultimately using the Discovery Sport more than me, I wanted our next vehicle to be slightly more luxurious whilst sharing similar practicality levels... so it had to be a Velar! Similar exterior dimensions to the Disco Sport, the Velar really takes the levels of comfort and luxury to another level. We opted for a 2023 Velar P400e (the hybrid model), awesome engine setup, plenty of power (we frequently take it on the German autobahn) and it really takes the refinement to another level especially at city speeds. Yes... we got a 2023 model due to the very long waiting list (12+ months) after the dreaded C-word and semiconductor shortages!
    I concede that the RR Sport may have the edge on interior space and comfort levels to the Velar, but the Velar is definitely the better all-rounder considering our needs. And, to our eyes anyway, the Velar looks a lot more aesthetically pleasing (even than the gen 3 RR Sport).
    Our driveway is starting to look like a Land Rover showroom..!

    • @CarChatTV
      @CarChatTV  5 місяців тому

      Hey, two great choices there. The defender 90 is shorter by 47.4 cm so if length concerns you thats the one to go for. I love the look of the new defenders and the 90 is cool but only 2 door so could be an issue for you. Inside the defender isn’t as nice as inside the velar, both cars will be great to drive and the velar Will be better for comfort. I would definitely drive both and see which one you like and test them in the city and park it up etc. if I had to choose. I would pick the defender 90. But mainly that’s because I love how it looks. I hope this helps 🤗

However, feed it lossless music files such as FLAC format in 16bit, minimum CD quality, or HiRes and the system comes alive. A beautiful and faithful reproduction that sounds like music rather than a sound-system. Try it. We love it and I am an audiophile.

      I must disagree with you, nothing could be further from the truth. We own a Velar V6 D300. We were given a half-day off road experience in the Scottish Highlands when we bought the car new. The Velar is phenomenal off road - wading, steeps, deep ruts, wheels in the air etc. Frankly, we were freaking out well before the Velar! I came to realise that, after the LR off-road experience, there was nothing that we would likely encounter (including deep snow in the Austrian and Italian Alps) that would be anything near as challenging. The Velar was on the all-season road tyres as standard. This begs the question as to when, where and how you have tested the off-road capability of the Velar because I cannot identify in any way with your comment that “the Velar lacks any off-road capability”. So wrong, truly.
