Overview

2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar

The 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar blends Range Rover luxury with a more contemporary, coupe-like SUV silhouette. For the used car shopper, it offers a stylish and comfortable cabin, underpinned by a capable all-wheel-drive system. However, a high number of safety recalls, including a critical one for potential loss of drive power and lighting with an undeveloped remedy, warrants careful consideration. The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, paired with an 8-speed automatic, delivers adequate performance with a combined EPA rating of 23 MPG. Shoppers should prioritize vehicles with documented recall completion.

Critical Failure Risk

This issue is primarily linked to a recall concerning the DC/DC converter. Failure can lead to the complete loss of 12-volt system charging, drive power, and exterior lighting, posing a critical safety hazard. The remedy for this recall was under development, indicating a significant potential for failure until addressed.

Early detection can help you avoid a $1,500-$3,000 repair.
