RRSman,

Any chance that you could get some photos of the back of a 2L model? According to the brochure, only the V6 models get the square exhaust pipes and I'm therefore unsure about what to expect if I order one. The configurator doesn't help in this matter!

Anyhow, enjoy your time in Solihull.....

I think the square exhausts are not engine dependent but spec dependent - only available on the HSE Dynamic model (the highest model). There are plenty of pics of real cars on Instagram search #rangerovervelar and #velar and the lower spec cars have metal exhausts facing down rather than the square tips.

Will take a good look on Sunday for ya.

Thanks.... on the configurator the square exhausts appear on the 3.0 diesel whatever the trim you select, but again I don't really trust the configurator!

If you could ask for me and have a look that would be super, as my dealer wasn't 100% sure. Trying to lock in my choice as soon as I can and need to know what I'm buying!

I couldn't find any pics, but I'll take your advice and have another look on instagram.

Cheers,

Ranger4

Are you sure about that? I just spec'd the lowest SE model with a 3.0d and there are no square exhausts..

RRSman if you do get to drive one for a decent amount of time, please provide your detailed view (as objective as possible) here, especially compared to a Sport with Dynamic pack and F-Pace S (if you have driven one). Apart from the drive, also interested in finding out how well the infotainment works in real life as LR don't have a great track record there, particularly with new models or when onboarding newer systems.

Hi,

Yes, 3.0d S model (r-dynamic) gives you the square exhausts, according to the configurator, so would love some clarification from the people at Solihull.....

Cheers,

I'm off to Solihul on Sunday to see the Velar's again and hopefully drive one! Got a VIP invite from JLR Cool


Me too on the way shortly. Got 10.00 slot.

I've got one ordered and am really on the fence with this car. This will hopefully make my decision. Just about to jump in my rrs dynamic for the hours drive

In the same boat, think it looks fantastic, but there are lots of uncertainties for me with engines, trims and specs at the moment. Need to see a few in the flesh first......

Hope you had a great day!
