Driving experience and comfort

Range Rover Velar

  • Designed around comfort and refinement, with Adaptive Dynamics monitoring and adjusting the suspension up to 500 times a second on air-suspension models.
  • Electronic Air Suspension's Elegant Arrival lowers the Velar 1.57 inches for easier entry and exit.
  • Terrain Response with a Dynamic program and All Terrain Progress Control for slippery or rough surfaces.
  • No charging plan required: it fits the way you drive today.

Porsche Macan

  • Electric power delivers strong acceleration, from 5.4 seconds in the base model to 3.1 seconds in the Turbo.
  • An 800-volt platform supports fast DC charging.
  • Requires home or public charging, so plan for a Level 2 charger at home.

Range Rover Velar reliability and ownership

Reliability ratings for any vehicle vary by survey, model year and how the vehicle has been maintained. For an objective view, check the latest Consumer Reports and J.D. Power data for the specific model year you are considering. What you can compare directly is how each brand backs its vehicles:

  • New vehicle warranty: both the Velar and the Macan carry a 4-year or 50,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty.
  • Certified pre-owned coverage: a Land Rover Approved Certified Pre-Owned Velar adds coverage up to 6 years or 100,000 miles from the original in-service date, after a 165-point inspection.
  • Software: the Velar receives software-over-the-air updates for its Pivi Pro infotainment and vehicle systems.
  • Maintenance: the Velar follows Land Rover's schedule, generally every 12 months or 16,000 miles. Ask about prepaid maintenance plans when you buy.

The Velar on sale today is the current gas-powered generation. Reports point to a fully electric next-generation Velar, but Land Rover has not announced U.S. timing, so current-generation Velars on our lot are the way to get this design with a gas engine.
