The Velar gets a host of modern safety equipment
Safety and After Sales Service – On the safety front, the Range Rover Velar is loaded with 6 airbags, rear ISOFIX mounts, Emergency Brake Assist, ABS, EBD, Roll Stability Control and Cornering Brake Control. JLR has sales and after-sales presence in most major cities in India but service quality levels continue to remain neutral, with a mix of positive and negative experiences.

The Velar is a bit pricey but offers a lot of things
Verdict – The Range Rover Velar is priced slightly high and it competes with a lot of capable luxury SUVs but it looks the part, comes loaded with lots of really cool features, drives pretty well and performs nicely off the road unless you’re into really hard-core off-roading. It is also very refined and comfortable and out of all luxury SUVs on sale today, feels the freshest and newest. The Range Rover Velar makes for a good buy if you don’t mind spending a bit more than what you would on a car of this segment.
