Range Rover Velar

Pricing: Updated Range Rover Evoque and Velar now available to order

JLR South Africa has opened the order books for its 2024 Range Rover Evoque and Velar models, which have received subtle design enhancements as well as new cabin electronics.

Pricing for the updated Range Rover Evoque ranges between R1,258,100 and R1,702,000, while the larger Velar will find its way into your driveway for between R1,670,000 and R2,202,700 - see full range and pricing below the story.

There’s not much to tell the 2024 models apart on the outside, but JLR is offering new Pixel LED headlights with chiselled front and rear light signature graphics and new “super-red” rear illumination that offers increased visibility and reduced glare for other road users.

Subtle updates have also been made to the grilles and bumpers of both models.

The changes are more apparent inside the MY2024 Evoque and Velar, where you’ll find a new 11.4-inch (28.9cm) floating-effect curved glass touchscreen.

Are they any more reliable? Wife's cousin has a P300e. Transmission trouble, brakes pulling to the left, rear door indicator displays door open when closed

This is a 2022 model and has been back to the agents 5 times

Pretty much standard Land Rover issues. :ROFL:
I always think you have to be mad at yourself when buying a LR product. Iemand wat hou van sukkel. lol

There is a guy up the road from me. He has 3 LR vehicles. Every fscking weekend he is busy working on one of them. Like the issues just never stop. These are older vehicles but still. You have to reach a point where you call it a day and just say enough is enough.
 
This car still has incredible road presence and as much as I want to say all Range Rovers look the same it still manages to stand out amongst the pack every time I spot one.
 
Range Rover Velar: Luxury and class wrapped in beauty

I'll be honest. When the Range Rover Velar first came onto the scene, I didn't like it.

I thought it looked like a boat. But it's grown on me. And the MY2024 Velar, especially with the Narvik Black Exterior packaged optioned, has stolen a piece of my heart.

Let's not pussyfoot around it — this is not an affordable vehicle. But for those shopping in this price range, there are a few non-negotiables that buyers would expect, and the Velar ticks all the boxes.

In its base guise, the Range Rover Velar DYNAMIC HSE Ingenium 2.0 litre 4-cylinder 404PS Turbocharged PHEV Petrol (Automatic) All Wheel Drive (what a mouthful) will set you back R2,202,700.

As tested, our Velar came with the Narvik Black exterior pack, Cloud/Ebony interior with Windsor Leather pack, Shadow Grey Ash Veneer trim, Technology Pack (which includes Heads-Up Display, Wade Sensing, Park Assist, and 3D Surround Camera), Black roof rails, Optional fog lights, and a R41,800 Meridian surround sound system with no fewer than 22 speakers creating a 3D sound experience... That's R105,807 worth of extras for a total cost (including preparation fee) of R2,315,507.

Not cheap.

do they make armored versions? or how much will one cost to Armour up?
I mean I bet a few political candidates and celebrities own these things, and they need Armour plating.

FAST FACTS

Price and After-sales support

The Range Rover Velar P400e Dynamic SE retails for R2 098 300 (March 2025), which includes a 5-year/100 000 km vehicle warranty, an 8-year hybrid battery warranty and a 5-year/100 000 km maintenance plan. With the options fitted to our test unit, its final price came to R2 315 507.

Verdict

Despite its age, the Range Rover Velar is still a striking and desirable premium SUV. However, its alluring looks, efficient powertrain and off-road capability are overruled by a high list price and a cramped cabin.

Should you buy a Range Rover Velar PHEV? In this sub-genre (plug-in Premium SUVs), its rivals offer more space and -performance at lower prices, so this SUV is a heart-over-head purchasing proposition!

That said, there’s better value in the rest of the Velar range and, while the local new-vehicle market has only just entered its plug-in hybrid era, turbodiesel premium SUV variants still make more logical sense.
