Vehicle overview

The interior of the new Range Rover Vilar 2021 is luxurious, but far from the most spacious. A certain lack of free space is felt even in the front, although it is quite comfortable to sit.

By the way, the fit itself is slightly lower than on other models of the brand. Because of this, it seems to the driver that the car is slightly higher than it really is.

The displays put on the car delight with beautiful and clear graphics, while the tidy can be customized by configuring the display of information specifically for yourself.

All this, of course, pleases, only the screens periodically glitch (for example, they start to flicker, and sometimes even turn off completely).

Considering that there are almost no physical buttons in the Vilar’s cabin, this behavior of electronics can cause a lot of inconvenience.

Cars with basic gasoline and diesel engines are not particularly nimble, but for a quiet ride, there is enough traction both in the city and beyond.

At the same time, Range Rover Velar is controlled in a new body well: it responds adequately and in a timely manner to the driver’s actions, and it is quite stable in corners.

There are no questions about the energy intensity of the suspension.

As with any Land Rover, the Velar’s off-road performance is high, although the model is not a full-fledged SUV.

However, it is worth leaving public roads at your own peril and risk, especially for owners of cars in older configurations, on which, due to a more developed body kit, the geometric cross-country ability is slightly worse.
