Features and problems:
1. Electrics / Software: The most common problem. Pivi Pro failures (infotainment: freezes, black screen), sensor glitches, problems with "start-stop" and 12V battery discharge.
2. Engines (Ingenium):
- Petrol 2.0L: Increased oil consumption is possible.
- Diesel 2.0L: Problems with DPF (diesel particulate filter), EGR, AdBlue.
- Rarely - problems with turbines.
3. Transmission (ZF 8-speed automatic): Generally reliable, but requires regular oil changes (every 60-80 thousand km).
4. Air suspension (if equipped): Provides comfort, but is expensive to repair (leaks, compressor).
5. Maintenance cost: High (premium brand).
Buying tips:
- A full pre-purchase inspection (PPI) by a Land Rover specialist is a must (check electronics, engine, transmission, suspension).
- Ask for a full service history.
The Velar is a great car, but its maintenance requires an appropriate budget and an open mind.
