Pros

  • Powerful engine lineup
  • Smooth Ride

Cons

  • Glitchy Infotainment System

The 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar comes with 4 different trims with 2 different drive trains priced from $49,600 to $$74,000. The two different drive trains include a 2.0 Liter turbo charged inline 4 engine and a 3.0 Liter Supercharged V6 engine.

Overview


After its Debut in 2018, the Land Rover Range Rover Velar stood as quite a performer amongst the other midsize luxury SUVs of its class. It was appreciated for the same and was considered a good option in the segment. The 2019 Range Rover Velar is as aggressive as its predecessor but is tuned to behave with manners.

The 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar comes in four different trims with 2 different drivetrains priced from $49,600 to $74,000. The two different drivetrains include a 2.0 Liter turbocharged inline 4 cylinder engine and a 3.0 Liter Supercharged V6 engine.

Pricing and Features
9.0/10


The 2019 Range Rover Velar is available in four variants namely the Velar, Velar S, Velar R-Dynamic SE and R-Dynamic HSE. Further these variants are made available with two different engines i.e., the 2.0 Liter turbocharged inline 4 cylinder engine and the 3.0 Liter Supercharged V6 engine. But this year the R-Dynamic does not offer the inline 4 engine.

Velar comes equipped with synthetic leather and suede upholstery, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a panoramic sunroof, and proximity key entry. On the other hand the Velar S gets upgrades such as Perforated grained leather seats, an 11-speaker Meridian sound system, a navigation system, etc. In addition to these the R-Dynamic SE and HSE trims get rear cross traffic alert, a 360-degree camera system, and perforated grained leather and suede seats.

We Recommend

We would suggest you go in for the P250 R-Dynamic SE. And that's really specced well. With a decent mix of style and equipment such as 20-inch wheels, leather seats, a 17-speaker Meridian audio system and power rear liftgate.

The R-Dynamic harbours a more powerful engine than the regular trim, a 3.0 Liter supercharged V6 engine which generates a horsepower of 380hp. Both the Velar S and the R-Dynamic SE trims are available with this powerful V6 engine. Moreover, both these engines are mated with an 8 Speed Automatic transmission and an All-Wheel-Drive drivetrain.

Engine and Performance
7.7/10


Putting out to 247 hp and 269 pound feet of torque is a pretty decent task for a 2 litre engine. The 2019 Land Rover Range Rover velar has a turbocharged 4 cylinder inline engine that is paired with an 8 speed automatic transmission. It is with this configuration that the Velar is able to deliver the aforementioned readings.

The base inline four cylinder 2.0 L engine of the Velar is quite powerful as it generates power at par with its competitors, such as the Volvo XC60, Porsche Macan and Jaguar F-Pace.

Acceleration

The turbocharged 2.0L four cylinder engine of the 2019 Range Rover Velar generates enough power to make this SUV speed up with ease. It is capable of accelerating to a speed of 60MPH in about 6.4 seconds. However, being a Sports vehicle the time taken by it might not be satisfactory to its audience, specially with its competition performing better.

All the cars in consideration are equipped with a 2.0L engine, yet their speeds vary due to several reasons. One of the vital factors that determines their speed are the curb weights. Velar being the heaviest of them all sent to be the slowest.

Ride and Handling

The 2019 Range Rover Velar might come across as aggressive at times but it is capable of handling steep curves with ease and confidence. This otherwise strenuous task is made possible with its standard adjustable suspension system. Although this Range Rover might not seem as sporty as its elder brother, the Range Rover Sport, it provides quite a comfortable ride.

Moreover, in addition to the four-wheel drive, the Velar is equipped with a low traction launch, hill launch assist, and hill descent control to keep the SUV fixed to the track on steep roads. In addition, you will find a Terrain response system that adjusts performance for a grippy ride due to the availability of various drive modes such as Eco, Comfort, Grass-Gravel-Snow, Mud-Ruts, Sand, and Dynamic.

Braking

One aspect of performance the previous Velar lacked was braking. We did hope that this year's model would have rectified the same. However it looks like the 2019 Range Rover Velar has also inherited this drawback. It comes equipped with the same brakes i.e. 12.8 inch disc brakes on the front and back as its predecessor and weighs almost the same as it did last year.

The 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar has a slightly smaller set of rotors when compared with its competition. In terms of curb weight, the Velar is the heaviest, weighing 4217 pounds. The Velar is equipped with 12.8 inch rotors for its front and back set of wheels.

Towing Capacity

The Land Rover Range Rover Velar shares it's towing capacity with its cousin the Jaguar. Built under the same roof, both these machines have the capacity to tow 5290 pounds of load. The 2019 Range Rover Velar is quite capable of dragging quite a weight on its back. Going ahead, we have a comparison of the towing capacities at our disposal.

The British cousins are way ahead of their competition in this regard. Towing close to a thousand pounds more than their closest competitor, Porsche. They also mark the best in competition, together they grab first position for the same. Volvo finds itself at the lower ranks with the capacity to tow only 3500 pounds.

Interior
8.5/10


The Velar accommodates five individuals and offers more than enough room for them. It has a head room of 38.1 inches (front) and 38 inches (back), a shoulder room of 57.2 inches (front) and 55.6 inches (back) and a legroom of 40.3 inches (front) and 37.2 inches (back). We will have to dive into more detail about the room offered as that would mark the most spacious vehicle in the competition.

The Velar has an interior space on par with most of its competitors. However, it looks like the Volvo XC60 is the most spacious in comparison. However, the margin between the Volvo and Land rover is that of a few cubic inches only.

Infotainment System

The Velar comes with the exquisite Land Rovers Touch Control Pro, introduced when it debuted last year. This Infotainment replaces the previous out-dated entertainment system in the other land rovers this year. It comes with a dual-screen and a paired interface.

The touch control might be a bit of a glitch sometimes. Apart from that it also has the following infotainment features to keep you entertained during your drive:

  • Satellite Radio
  • Smart Device Integration
  • WiFi Hotspot
  • Auxiliary Audio Input
  • Bluetooth connection
  • MP3 player

Interior Features

There is a lot more on offer apart from the infotainment features, the2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar flaunts the following interior features as well:

  • Audio And Cruise Controls On Steering Wheel
  • Front Seatback Storage
  • Cruise Control
  • Keyless Ignition
  • Climate Control
  • Dual Illuminating Vanity Mirrors
  • Front And Rear Cupholders
  • Electrochromatic Inside Rearview Mirror
  • Front And Rear Door Pockets
  • Front And Rear Parking Sensors
  • Leather And Simulated Alloy Steering Wheel
  • Electric Power Steering
  • Rear View Camera
  • Tilt And Telescopic Steering Wheel
  • Universal Remote Transmitter
  • Interior Air Filtration

Cargo

The 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar fails in providing the most spacious passenger room but the story is different when it comes to its cargo room offering.

Up against its rivals such as Volvo, Jaguar and Porsche, the Velar seems to ace this segment with the best in class offering at least that is what we expect. It has a cargo volume of 34.4 cu.ft which can be increased to 70.1 cu.ft by folding the second seat. Given below are the details of the rivals offering:

Well the velar clearly has the most spacious cargo room on offer followed by the Volvo XC60 and the Jaguar F-Pace.

Competition
6.0/10


2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar vs Jaguar F-Pace

The F-Pace has been in the market for quite some time now. It surely got the first movers advantage but now that Velar is here, both are on the run as they give each other a tough competition.

Both these machines come with equally powerful engines but it looks like the Velar turns out to be a better performer. Its interior space and cargo volume are also more spacious than the F-Pace. Even their towing capacities are similar. However one drawback is that the Velar is a bit more thirsty than the F-Pace. Overall, the Bekar justifies the extra it charges and is clearly a better option between the two.

2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar vs Porsche Macan

This year, Porsche introduced its Flagship Model for its Second Generation of Macan. However, the new Macan isn't as powerful as its predecessor but it still is capable of running at par with the Velar and capable of giving better numbers than the Brit. Its new infotainment also looks quite advanced than that of Velars.

However it doesn't do justice to the space it offers, given that it's a full sized SUV. Hence, given the price and the offering, Velar seems like a better option. But if you are looking for something sporty, then Macan is your car. 

2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar vs Volvo XC60

The Volvo XC60 is going to complete a decade in the market soon. It is still a benchmark for midsize luxury SUVs. It has a bit more power packed into its engine than the Velar, and hence it delivers better performance. It also looks like a more fuel efficient option than Velar.

Its interiors are also quite ambient and are as spacious as the Velar. The only drawbacks of this Swedish automobile is that the towing capacity and the Cargo space offered could be better. But it being a more affordable option makes it a preferred option over the Velar.
