Range Rover Velar: Driving The Future - Carfection 

Well, this is interesting. You test a new British car, owned by an Indian company, but it has a German number plate and you're in Norway? Quite international, I must say ;)

They Nailed it with this one! The Velar could easily get into the hall of fame of the most beautifully designed cars ever produced.

Physical switches are much better for cars. Having to take your eyes off of the road every time you want to do anything is much more dangerous.

Anyone who's used Jaguar/Landrover electronic systems knows that this button-less setup is terrifying.

I commend you Brits, seems like it's always the worst possible weather for car reviews, even Range Rover, but you guys stick with it. It's actually kinda nice seeing these high end, usually spotless polished rides get dirty af lol.

5:52 Complaining about the strict speed limits in Norway while doing 139 in an 80 zone, lol. You might want to blur out that speedo :)

Hey I missed this guy, he's great

I love the design. It is perfect.

The sigh of disappointment when the video starts without Alex's voice :(

Is it me or the driver sits way too closed to the steering wheel? Dude look so uncomfortable 😂😂

It's quite disappointing that it only has 3 screens. At least 7 would be acceptable.

did he just wake up?

the VELAR is worth the likes It is utterly stunning, I can't even find the right words to describe such a car

do you have to wear a beige turtle neck with maroon cardigan to drive one?

Had the chance to spend a bit of time being driven in one. Wasn't hugely impressed; it has extra toys, but the lower-end engine is gutless and in all honestly, it's really no more luxurious or comfortable than e.g. a Kia Sportage inside. The touchscreen isn't a great idea either for all the reasons everyone's spotted - I am no newbie with technology, but it took me about 45 seconds to figure out where the volume knob was for the radio. It's just not intuitive, and lacks any kind of haptics to boot.

So most land rovers are made so that you can use the control buttons wearing gloves, for those cold days, so do these touchscreen controls work through gloves? Also doesn't look like there's a ton of head room, which is one of the things I liked most about my Rover

You can tell he hasn't showered in a few days atleast by that oily bed hair

You know they have combs in UK right?

I want this car so bad but I just got my range rover back from the repair shop, for the second time this week. For the smallest simplest problem. Why can I have range rover design and Toyota reliability?

Why is the guy wearing 2! watches? 0_o

the only ranger rover i would consider buying used in like 10 years. will look modern for a really long time.

dude wears 2 watches

It's a beautiful looking Range. However too many people have complained about getting error codes a few days out of the showroom

In person these things are incredible. Kind of annoying that the only demo ones have been the with the P380's though. For that price you're looking at a Sport, which will no doubt be replaced with a new model soon.

any rich person wanna buy me this... ill make it worth your money

This seems more like an ad and less like a review

I hope this car is reliable

if this was made by some other company, it would've been the best SUV ever. but this is a RR with LOTS of electronics. so you can bet your ass it will spend more time in the shop than on the road (and it seems reports so far confirm this). a shame, really...

2 watches, turtleneck and a BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNN cardigan... I can't even...

Please compare Velar and new Evoque (2018).

My friend just rejected his second Disco Sport. Both had numerous minor faults from new that JLR and the dealer were unable to fix. Unacceptable on a £40k brand new car.

there is so much happiness when i see carfection uploaded new video.

This guy should shower before the shooting.

"Done away with every physical button they could've done"... I have a physical aversion to this sentence... Physical buttons are superior to touchy touch screen bullshit that never works properly first time...

where was this filmed its beautiful

I love the high tech & the design & style of it except the rear end (looks like a Chinese version of the evoque), and yeah! I'm waiting for the SVR version as all of you do.😆

I am always scratching my head at all the people claiming that land rover/range rover have poor reliability. I guess people see what they want to believe. But I have a hard time believing that all the commenters have even driven a rover let alone ever owned one. I have owned Land Rovers all my driving life, and have had every model from a Series II to a modern Range Rover. I haven't owned one of the Evoques or Velars but I can't imagine they are that different. I have also owned Fords, Jeeps, Dodge, Hondas, Nissans, and a Toyota. The Ford blew a transmission when the speedo plug came undone after a dealer service. One Jeep rusted in half after six years from new, plus it had cracked the transfer case. The Dodge was a Cummins which blew an injector rail on a major highway, sprayed diesel all over the road and engine bay which needed a hazmat fire truck to respond. I had two Hondas have a ruin water pump which caused the timing belt to slip which caused total engine failure on one and ruined the valves and rockers on the other. One of the Nissans has a CVT transmission which is crap, it actually stalls when cold in a sub tropical environment and the Toyota needed a compleat new frame as it rusted out. But they didn't replace the rusted bumper. All of the Japanese cars I had in a certain time frame had to have their airbags replaced as they randomly blew up, the Toyota was also recalled for a sticking accelerator On the other hand not one of my land rovers or range rovers have ever let me down. They have all had various issues after a hundred and some odd thousands miles but never something that caused a major issue. I have also driven 26 yo Series III after buying it sight unseen, from Florida to New England to Washington state. So maybe I am just really lucky with rovers and unlucky with other cars, but if that's case then it just shows there is something for everyone and we should be glad that's the case.

What on earth is this guy wearing?? 😂😂😂

Why doesn't range rover make reliable vehicles?

Nice video

A very articulate and unabashed eulogy. I wonder if we could actually have a review next time.

*The most beautiful 4x4 currently : )*

Don't forget land rovers piss poor reliability record

When someone living in the most beautiful country speaks for something being beautiful, it is understood, the thing must be exceptionally beautiful ❤️

Sir, How you forget the the new infotainment of Germans The all new MBUX of Mercedes and new idrive 7.0 of BMW and Audi's new Dual User interface. Sorry for that but these are the best Infotainment system in the whole market now😧

That is my next car... hopefully!

I'm not convinced by this guy the Velar isn't the right product I mean what Velar brings is updates all the other products in the range should have just like Apple.

Man, she's gorgeous.

Chris Harris, Alex, and Carlos Lago for Top Gear

And reliability? Driver Power rate the marque very poorly....

Haha the analogy with apple was spot on...

This car it looks so amazing. unfortinatly i will never be able afford one

Shame the one thing Range Rover can’t get right is the shockingly low resale value.

that speech at the end was cringeworthy.

This may well kill the Evoque line if its actually as nice as journalists were saying. That Evoque is just nasty inside.and the proportions are all wrong. This is the new baby Range Rover.

If it's so good to drive on road, why didn't they let you test it someplace you can give it some foot?

how about reliability ?

If you didn't think you needed an ad-blocker before trying to watch this video...

"although it looks unmistakably like ..... something out of Robocop and Terminator and Star Wars driven by Riot Police to oppress the scummy poor people" Direct from the Dalek academy of design - who usually work for BMW. Another gopping great lump for fashion victims who'll only ever crunch up their gravel drives.

This Range Rover is without doubt beautiful! BUT, what gave name to Land Rover, it was not RANGE ROVER, it was the DEFENDER !!!! We want a new DEFENDER !!!

Why do you keep calling it a PRODUCT instead of a CAR? What''s up with the stupid cardigan and stupid light leather strap on the gimmick i phone watch.... thing.... shit? Like for the car, dislike for the presentation.

The reviewer stood mostly on the design (was very enthusiastic about it actually), which is very good, but it's not the whole point. Clearly, he feels about it and presents it like a new Apple product, but this doesn't make the review complete. The only technical information were the shared platform with F-Pace and the V6 of 375 bhp. Still, I have to admit the design of the car is great, but not the only thing to focus on.

I respect that carfection is a large company and I respect Drew, but for me Alex was carfection/Xcar. So I am jumping ship ( unsubbing ) and will be subscribing to motor1 UK.

So Range Rover have now, perhaps inevitably, reached the point where they are making a sleek, relatively low-riding car which will no doubt never actually be driven off road. I'm sorry, I know this type of car is hugely popular, but this model more than any other sums up why I will never understand it. It's a gold Rolex on wheels: designed purely to pose and show off. And no doubt it will sell in the thousands.

Where's the bald guy

Goddamit, your reviews make me want the cars way more than i should!

where's the "off road" section?

What about reliability. That is the elephant in the room. The limiting reason for RR sales is just that, reliability. As far as apple is concerned? Only a idiot isheep buys that old crap. Stick to cars. I don't use apple and never will. I use modern tech. If you dump the RR in that category, then I am gone...

Almost as nice as a Suzuki Vitara.

He is the MOST COZY person in the world while he is driving a Range Rover Velar in the light mist of rain while wearing a turtle neck with a burgundy cardigan and Apple Watch lol.

BMW all the way ! I rather have the BMW X5 because BMWs have proven time and time again to be very reliable ! Unlike Land Rover Products who are known to have issues, and the Velar will probably be no different ! Only time will tell !

Car looks like it has been shot with a fisheye lens on every shot... Is it really this bulbous?? On another note, sick of UK reviewers cradling JLR and Maclaren balls every time.

Why or why when you do these videos PLEASE state where you are ..... It looks fantastic would love to visit there yet I have no idea where it is ???? Come on I know it’s about the vehicle but more information would go well ????

seems like there's a considerable amount of lag for the touch screen systems :S

I also like this car, the luxury, the comfort and fit and finish. However, due to the viewpoint of your camera from your right, I can see a regular, very cheap plastic look to the steering column cover. Isn't there something they could do with that?

Front end of that car looks really slick, back end is hideous. The interior is going along the popular meme route of removing all physical controls and moving to glossy, capacitive controls which look worse when covered in fingerprints and are harder to use when moving. If that is the future, then I am not interested.

Is it going to depreciate as fast as previous Ranges? I think so. They build beautiful cars, no question. But quality Sucks!

Best Land Rover yet

Sponsored by Range Rover

Thought I would like his car in person far more than I did. It's very small and low riding. Reminded me of a station wagon. Wasn't impressed.

I don't like it. Not that I want buttons all over the place but I do like buttons. Much more simple to quickly tap a physical button to heat up your seats. And the interior is not in a style I like. Also don't like the exterior door handles.

finally a classy Rover

No electric drivetrain? WHAT IS THAT? A JOKE?

For some reason I believe range rover is looking more towards a Toyota like shape. It's kinda missing it's previous royal and prestige look.

How much is it though?

Awsome review, I guess I have made up my mind on which Land Rover, Range Rover to go for.

This is what the vogue and sport should have looked like. I was not a fan when they released them and up to now, they have still yet to grow on me. Loved the previous sport look more

Wearing polo neck jersey and a cardigan at 22nd of July.. Summertime sadness.

This is such a bad review. Not a word on the interior room, luggage room etc. Thumbs down....

The only thing I don't like about the looks are those huge fake exhaust tips. Otherthan that, it looks amazing

i don't like the tail with the pipes and stuff around them... it looks forced and awkward to me. i see them on the street and can't get over that back view...

Such a good looking car and then they put that plastic crap on the bonnet.

I have to say this car isn't aging very well. Looking at it again, it looks remarkably bland.

this car is more appealing than the Sport, Vogue and Evoque all combined

Why are factory wheels the ugliest part of most cars? Especially modern cars?

The sign when I see a slot in of the presentors name. Don't make this show like any other! +Carfection

I keep asking this and nobody can help me with this of all the vehicles made which one can you buy with out faults please let me know

Looks like an Apple product... But would you take it off-road?

English car tested in Norway with german number plates :)
