What Can Go Wrong With the Range Rover Velar? Common Issues and Future Fixes
The Range Rover Velar is without doubt one of the most stylish and design-forward luxury SUVs on the market. Since its launch in 2017, it’s made waves across Europe, with strong registration numbers in countries like Germany, France, and the Netherlands. But as stunning and refined as the Velar may be, like any vehicle, it’s not immune to wear, tear, or the occasional mystery fault.
If you’re considering buying a Velar, or already own one, here are some of the current problems being reported by drivers, plus expert insight into what parts are likely to need replacement as your vehicle ages.
1. Timing Chain Trouble on Diesel Models
One of the most commonly reported problems on early 2.0-liter diesel Velars is timing chain wear. Particularly in the 2017 to 2020 models, owners have complained of engine rattles that often lead to costly repairs. This is usually due to stretched timing chains or worn tensioners. It’s especially common in countries like France and Belgium, where frequent stop-start city driving puts additional strain on engine components.
What You Can Do:
Watch out for strange rattling noises on cold starts. Replacing the timing chain kit early can prevent more expensive engine damage. This is a good preventative fix for high-mileage Velars.
2. Turbocharger Weakness
Another weak point in both diesel and petrol Velars is the turbocharger system. With heavy usage, particularly in urban environments or on vehicles used for short trips, turbo units and their oil feed lines have been known to fail. It usually starts with a slight drop in performance, which can quickly lead to a full failure.
The Fix:
Check for excessive smoke, lag in acceleration, or whining noises from the engine. We recommend regular oil changes and early replacement of turbo oil feed hoses to prevent larger issues. Turbo replacement kits are already becoming a high-demand item.
3. AdBlue System Glitches
For diesel owners, the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system using AdBlue has created more than a few headaches. Common complaints include failed injectors, blocked nozzles, or sensor errors. Sometimes just overfilling the tank or letting it run too low can set off a dashboard warning.
The Fix:
Use high-quality AdBlue fluid and avoid topping off too frequently. If you’re experiencing recurring AdBlue warnings, a new injector or sensor might be required. We’ve started stocking these due to rising demand in Germany and Sweden.
4. Electrical and Infotainment Issues
Despite its tech-laden cabin, many Velar owners have reported quirky issues with the infotainment system and electronic controls. Touchscreens freezing, climate control misbehaving, or dash warnings for airbag and ABS systems are all being mentioned across forums.
The Fix:
Make sure your software is up to date. If problems persist, replacement infotainment modules or sensor components may be needed. These will likely be a growing market segment in the next 1 to 2 years as these vehicles mature.
5. Hybrid and PHEV System Problems in Cold Climates
Newer Velar models with Mild Hybrid (MHEV) or Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) setups offer better efficiency but have shown electrical control issues, particularly in colder countries. Problems with the 48V battery control units, charge management systems, and random warning lights are starting to surface in northern Europe.
The Fix:
If you’re in Sweden, Norway, or even Germany, be prepared for potential cold-weather complications. We suggest keeping a close eye on software updates and battery performance. These parts are still hard to find, so stocking early gives you an advantage.
Why This Matters for Parts Forecasting
With the Velar still considered a relatively young model, many of these problems are only starting to show up as vehicles clock higher mileage. The good news is that by following these trends and watching customer feedback, we can anticipate the most important parts to keep in stock.
These include:
• Timing chain kits
• Turbochargers and oil lines
• AdBlue injectors and sensors
• Infotainment screens and wiring harnesses
• Hybrid battery control units
Staying ahead of these issues lets us provide value where it matters most: keeping your Velar reliable without the long wait times or high costs of dealer service.
The Velar’s Design Legacy: More Than Just a Pretty Face
Despite these issues, the Velar remains one of the most visually iconic SUVs of the last decade. It even earned the title of World Car Design of the Year, proving that Land Rover nailed the balance between futuristic looks and brand identity. You can read more about that award here: Range Rover Velar Wins World Car Design of the Year.
From flush door handles to minimalist interiors, the Velar changed what people expect from a luxury SUV. It’s not just about capability. It’s about presence, poise, and precision. And that means owners expect their parts and accessories to live up to the same standard.
By anticipating problems, offering trusted replacements, and responding to real-world data, we aim to keep every Velar running and looking its best.
