2018 Range Rover Velar vs Audi SQ5 Luxury CUV Comparison 

Quân Anh just lease it

Quân Anh Don't buy JLR. Reliability and quality are horrendous. Own one and it's a nightmare.

Not sure I have a 2017 Porsche Cayenne and 2018 Land Rover discovery, so far the discovery has been drastically more reliable. The Porsche has gotten me stuck on the road three times, makes a terrible grinding sound and halts to a stop. Porsche claims it’s not the transmission and keeps changing various other parts but so far still a nightmare. The Porsche has less miles on it even though it’s 7 months older because it keeps spending weeks at the dealer. Yet some how Porsche was rated one of the most reliable luxury brands. The Rover has a much nicer interior, great air suspension, much more tech features from adaptive cruise and steering to smoother more refined transmission and ride. So my experience has been the exact opposite. Probably going to replace my wife’s cayenne with the velar this year, just working on making Porsche take back the car under lemon law since it’s been in three times for the same repair and it’s broken again.

The real question is: is it too expensive or you don't have enough money?!

Vehicle Virals only a maniac would buy it. They’re meant to be leased

Agreed

Yes! Brits should stick with making tea and doctor who shows.

chocolatewheelchair Why not buy it brand new?

I wanna know your personal reasons

J024🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

The Velar's grille is proportional and is required for engine cooling

Peter that’s the thing, it’s looks like it but when comparing both tech and power, Audi rules supreme over the Range Rover.

Evoque is real competitor to Q5

Oh, so you think Audi is so much better at reliability? Google audi 2.0T oil consumption issue. Or research how many law suites against Audi forcing thrm to extend warranties, replace engines, install redesigned pistons, etc. LR had an issue with its new 5.0 V8 and had a recall to install redesigned timing tensioner+timing chains+timing guides. Nothing like crap load of law suits against Audi. But again, both LRs and Audis are awesome cars but if you think Audis service department is empty and mechanics got nothing to do and LR service department is overloaded with work, you are wrong. They are both overloaded :)0

same in mazda demio

Land Rover Discovery Sport would be size wise match but there is no V6 for that thing. I guess the whole idea of the video is to match something from LR to SQ5, Velar is smallest LR available with V6, no Evoque nor Discovery Sport have V6/I6 available, unfortunately.

How so?

chocolatewheelchair Velar top spec about €100k in Ireland and SQ5 about €85k (to keep it just under the Macan S at €95k). Germany would be slightly less and Netherlands would be more

Cars in Germany or The Netherlands are cheap compared to Singapore

BenPBL Singapore is cheap compared to Dubai

Yeah keep talking, I'm from India. 167K Euros for Velar.

I can afford either but chose the 18 audi sq5 for me its better then the velar in and out have you heard the engine on the sq5 im a man and performance is key rover lacks that

I agree. Who would have thought that Rover would make major changes to their interior design - relying more on electrical components. It's gorgeous, but how can you spring for a rig you can't trust to keep on the road? And I tend to buy and keep. Owning one of these vehicles without warranty protection is a nightmare waiting to happen.

Everything on jaguar/Land Rover have expensive repairs. My mom bought a 2011 Jaguar XJL 3 years ago. It's been a great car but you reaaally have to keep up with everything. Only things wrong with it currently is the sunroof shade motor is not functioning, she has a blown out speaker that costs $300+ to replace, and a cracked starter button. Along with someone hitting her rear end in a parking lot and causing her parking sensor to fall out of place and costing over $3k to replace. So... everything in these cars, you need a loan to fix if you don't keep up with them.

wow.

Incorrect. Volkswagen/Audi have had a lot of issues dating back to the 1980s. Reality and fact is both vehicles will last the same time but we should be comparing Oranges to oranges. The Q5 VS Evoque Dynamic Black Edition.

Gundeep Virdi das güd right?

You can always get a better car adding 15 grands to the price, so yeah - no wonder Range Rover loses, still being an awesome car

It wasn't better in everything , I'm not sure if you watched the whole video or not , sq5 is more comfortable ,more sporty , more composed , reliable materials than the velar. The velar has nicer interior , good off-road e.t.c

Bestman ....yes, you are pot. correct - he didn’t watch the video!🙄

Shawn P i love your mindset #business

People who can ACTUALLY AFFORD these cars (I'm talking about people who make over $250k a year+ and over $1million in assets, not people who spend ALL THEIR INCOME on a car) don't care about the depreciation. Many lease under a business as well, so they don't care about depreciation, either, just the monthly payment and down payment.

casualsuede thats true. You still have a market for people who don't have that, will still spend income on a car. Just my opinion

In 2 years they will worth half their price. First of all, it's in a good category, Luxury CUV. Second, SQ5 is a desirable car and the market has always been good on their resale value. You can still find 2014 SQ5 with over 30k asking price. The base model is around 60 back in 2014. If you said it was a BMW 3 series or Mercedes C class, then that's different.

Velar will be worth more than the Audi

V10! Do you even understand cars or wher velar fits in the rover family ?

007 like you could afford a car

Alexander Damberg What makes you think he couldn’t? Chill out bro.

Haters gonna hated, OWNED one before u comment, IDIOT

100% correct.

Yes end of discussion

TTMM - Taz The Melon Muncher no it’s not

The Volkswagen/Audi Q5 is plain Jane and I wouldn’t spend a dime on Volkswagen ever again.

That BMW X3 M40i is a real sleeper SUV in this category.

Maybe because those things don’t bother them.

I'm a Velar owner and have no idea what you're talking about. Maybe that's why they aren't mentioning it.

Yeah, The velar looks like it has, dare I say, "Kim K's Rear end." By that I mean, it looks awkward on the Range Rover, just like it does on Kim. And I'm a Butt man myself lol

Volkswagen/Audi are in all fact and reality a step below Range Rover. 100% fact. Range Rover VS the new Aston Martin SUV not some Volkswagen/Audi design.

@@CB-ux5xc U clearly have no idea what ur talking about ????

They keep telling me that, but here I am at 175k on my LR3 and it's still going strong.

How many times did you take it to the repair shop to make it that good? 😂

Another RR hater that knows nothing.

Incorrect. Until you own a Land Rover you cannot comment. You simply just don’t know.

Land Rover should be called Land Over!
