Range Rover Velar Review (2023)

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Lovely looking cars but dont fall for looks!!

My experience of Land Rover and my Velar just in the last 2 years and to this day!

Its been in Land Rover for a period of 9 months in the last 2 years. Currently just picked it up from Land Rover without it being repaired after 2 months of being in there.

The car has had 2 replacement engines in 2 years.

The gearbox needs replaced at 64,000 miles and were quoted £8292.43 for a new gearbox through Land Rover which they had not checked, done work on or tested!

Be broken down 6 times in 2 years!

A service centre saying… that the car was the worst car that they had ever seen for the amount of warranty work that had been carried out by Land Rover for myself and the previous owner.

You can drop it off, however I can't guarantee when I can look at it as I currently have 48 recoveries

and another

Good afternoon

Im a bit confused as we fit a lot of engines and Ive never come across this before. What receipt do you need exactly?

Sometimes the best-looking things are the highest maintenance and cost you the most money…

My Experience with Land Rover has me out of pocket £21,269.60
