2020 Range Rover Velar SVAutobiography - A Hidden Gem

So what's up with the internet world? Welcome back to the channel. I'm excited to bring you the car of one of my dreams, and that is the

2020

Land Rover Range Rover Velar Velar SV, Dynamic Autobiography Edition. So if you are new to our channel, thank you. Thank you so much for watching and my name is Mike and the guy behind the camera is named Ian and we have a dedicated YouTube studio just for cars like these so this beast has 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque and depending on who you read and who you listen to it runs from zero to 60 anywhere between 3.8 seconds and four and a half seconds.

Now let me tell you what 500 horsepower and 500 really doesn't matter sound how wonderful everything was amazing, look at this front on In my opinion, car manufacturers do one or two parts of the car beautifully, for They usually only do the front or rear, never the side, but in my opinion the

range

has really done a spectacular job designing this car. Now, a quick overview of where it is. The vehicle stands now if you don't know that Land Rover only makes SUVs, it doesn't make any type of cars and if you compare it to any other manufacturer, Land Rover currently makes six unique types of SUVs that don't include electricity, now take the other one.

Manufacturers, for example, Audi makes four SUVs, BMW makes seven and Curves makes six, so when you look at vehicles of this caliber, that's where you are now. None of the other manufacturers make anything as fancy as this. Now let me ask you if there is a vehicle. Whatever you think is prettier or sexier than the front and sides of this vehicle, comment below and let me know. The reason I'm hiding here is because I want you to see the car in its entirety now. The prices of the autobiography of

velar

sv. It's 91,000 and the change now sounds like a lot of money, but if you consider that the

range

rover

sport starts at 92, most people know the range

rover

sport and haven't heard much about the valar, so the valar measures two inches. shorter, three inches narrower and four and a half inches shorter, which in my opinion gives it a more aggressive stance compared to the regular range rover, but not only does it look better now that the range rover sport is available in a sv and starts at 98,000 except the difference is it makes a lot less horsepower and doesn't rev like this beast to get it you have to get the carbon version and that thing costs a hundred and thirty grand so think about that Would you rather get this?

It looks almost the same, it's lighter, it's faster and it's cheaper. Back to the car, this sv has larger front and rear bumpers, it has a knurled effect Range Rover intake which I thought was carbon fiber from the start but I really like how they made this piece, the sv also includes a valence completely black front bottom all 22 inch wheels are an option luckily this one has red brakes and the quad exhaust so as I mentioned under the hood of the sv is a 5 liter supercharged v8 but let's talk about something which is really important here and it's reliability so today I brought a friend with me and his name is elephant and we're going to talk about the elephant in the room and that's reliability there are constant highlights of the Range Rover with reliability and I want to mention this period because this engine was actually designed by Ford in 1996.

This engine is built at a location that Jaguar rents from Ford. Now I know that doesn't sound crazy and why would they do it? Put an old engine in a car this nice and that's reliability. This is the first SUV I've seen on the market that actually has inlets in the rear wing to create downforce, so when you accelerate to 270 kilometers per hour or 170 miles. It holds you to the ground now continuing with the SV theme it has everything black and that includes the

velar

, the SV badge and this knurled effect that comes from the front on the range rover it also has quad exhaust and a trailer hitch that can tow 2,500 kilograms now one thing the range rover can learn from the domestic product is that the domestic product actually has a light that shines on the ground so you kick it and the trunk opens in this specific case with the trailer hitch.

I really know where to kick it. You kick it to the left. Do you kick it to the right? What are you doing? I just use the remote or press the button here and a couple of things appear in a car that is expensive. I would like to have a better quality The rear trunk lid seems a little plastic to me, but I like the fact that they put lighting on the rear sill here and something the Germans do very well is the rear trunk liners. The British aren't doing so well, so on the back of the range rover velar now and a couple of things, this suede headliner is amazing.

I love the fact that the suede headliner goes from the front, the pillars to the bottom, all the way, all the way down, you actually take it down. -pillar and b-pillar all the way down, many manufacturers only do it at the top, they don't take it all the way down, so let's talk about the door handles, these things have the bigger door handles on the inside of the car I've ever seen on the outside they are

hidden

beautiful, but on the inside these door handles are huge, but that's okay because this whole car is monochrome, it's just black gray and like a touch of grayish silver, which really I love it. like it's so clean and tidy in the back here now in terms of legroom there are complaints that the rear, especially all the autobiography versions, have more bolstered seats, there's a lot of padding in the seats, so They are very comfortable, plenty of torso room, plenty of head room and for me there is plenty of leg room but there are complaints that the autobios are generally a little smaller in the back because these seats are padded so If you don't want a car that is so tight in the back, don't get one. autobiography as far as storage in the car these seats go down 40 20 40 and it has four zone climate control so it has common control on the left and climate control on the right and it has vents on the side and in the middle here.

As for keeping you cool and warm, obviously it will do the job, so I'm in the driver's seat of the car now, but there's one thing I can point out: it has this aluminum finish on the inside, where your hand now goes. if you wear rings or have a watch that can really hit it and you can dent the inside of the door, so if you're looking at one that's a couple years old, in a couple years you'll probably notice that there will be a lot of scratches on the inside of this aluminum now this car is in perfect condition and this aluminum looks fantastic and as i mentioned before everything in this car is a really nice shade of grey, it's either black or grey, there is nothing about this car that stands out it's very clean, classy and really me I like the fact that everything is quite square and very clean and very linear.

There's something about Range Rover that makes me feel pampered. The seat I just sit in this really high position even though the velar is the lowest seating range rover you can buy on the market. I still feel exquisite. I feel rich. I like it when I look at this group and look at the speedometer and see what gear I'm in. It has this diamond effect. on the seats they have a diamond effect it has dual sliding armrests it has real steel shift paddles it has a full real leather dashboard which is extended leather throughout it has 22 way heated and cooled massaging power seats it has a 10 inch screen inches on top and a 10 screen on the bottom that adjusts towards me, this time everything is facing the driver, it's not like many Range Rovers that are flat, this thing is facing towards me, even the steering wheel has switches capacitives that really disappear. and they only light up when I want to use them it's amazing and speaking of knurling because we all know what knurling is it's diamonds the Range Rover diamond version is knurled because look at these things I guarantee someone walked into a Range showroom Rover and saw these diamonds. and he said: I love it, I want it, I want more knurling in my life because we also have

hidden

knurling around here.

I love how clean everything is, the center console, everything is very clean in this car, they even have hidden switches, now I know. it says land rover here and you press land rover but no one really likes land rover man we want range rover change that to range rover and you're a little harsh land rover give me the range rover effect I just want you to press this button and close, who cares It doesn't matter if you break it, it's leased anyway, but seriously, I want to show you how easy this infotainment system is. There is so much hate on the internet about how difficult this infotainment system is and yes it can be a little crazy but for the simple controls including the HVAC it is super easy so on this bottom panel you have two circular dials.

This one is pretty simple, it controls the temperature on the passenger side, but on the driver's side you can change it, you can have your dynamic programs, your echo. comfort your grass, gravel and different types of programs, but if you want to go to air conditioning or climate control, you have to press the button up here and then it will go back to climate control and it's very easy, just press the buttons that I want it to work and we have an ionizer. If you want your massage seats to work or if you have your upper back heated and cooled, undulate on both sides.

You have massage seats. It feels so good that I can now see where some of the frustration is. it happens and that happens on the top screen, not on the hvac stream but on the top screen, and that's because things like this happen when I press the home button. This is kind of Android where you have to enter all your data but for people who are new to touch screens this is very difficult they just have to make it easy when I press the navigation pretty simple I can rotate come in and out that's all pretty easy but i think it's the home button that really ruins things for people it just needs the data to be a little cleaner setting up bluetooth is pretty simple your 360 camera can be better imo it's too small how do you make it bigger ?

Well you can't, you have a pretty easy left and right, but there is some delay and I can see some frustration there, but everything else is still pretty easy, but that's not the reason people buy this car and let's find out why people buy this car, so let's find out why someone would buy the autobiography of the sv. It's more like it's the sv. Because autobiography is like smoothness and back seats and all that fun stuff, the special vehicles part is the part I really want to dive into, so they say this cabin is driver-focused. I don't really see it being the only driver-focused thing. for me it's the start/stop button that's on the interior dash, everything else is positioned somewhat forward which is pretty typical and the center center screen can rotate forward so maybe that's driver oriented, but what is driver oriented is the fact that you can have dynamic and it has active exhaust and they have flaps and they open up and you can see that there is a big difference between the eco mode, the normal mode and the dynamic mode, so let's go to take it for a spin, put this thing in gear and if I want to put it in sport mode, I actually have to push it down and then turn it into sport mode.

Be careful when maneuvering. Impressive front screen. The speedometer is nice and big in front of me. It also has an rpm gauge that has something that looks like a boomerang that rotates back and forth as the rpm increases on the cluster, here you can have different displays but I chose the dual dials because you can actually look at an analog gauge that looks like an analog gauge that actually has a speedometer up to 320 kilometers per year. time and that's amazing, cars nowadays don't skip numbers and all that, but this says right in front of you and it has a picture of a beautiful Range Rover and the only thing, like I said, everything is monochrome except the tail lights that They're red so I'm very familiar with this eight speed gearbox but every manufacturer actually has different shift points and usually Range Rovers don't have a very good shift point that when you press the gear lever positive changes.

It doesn't exactly shift right away like a dual clutch so I noticed one thing is when you get around 5-55 rpm and shift it feels like the rear exhaust is about to burst and that's very similar to a Ferrari all the Newer Ferraris. i have that when you shift gears it sounds like the back of the car is flying off and that's exactly what this thing just did the exhaust sounds like a boat with a lot of power and the gurgle of a lot of power is so fierce eco mode keep license driving activated, so this traction systemTotal normally has a 50 50 front to rear ratio, but can transfer up to 100 power to the front wheels or 100 power to the rear wheels if you find yourself in some kind of slippery situation now.

In terms of cornering, it has something called torque vectoring and torque vectoring is generally known as when you're putting power or braking power on the inside wheels in a corner, so what that essentially does is make the turn tighter. , but it does this through the brakes. Instead of doing it internally through the mechanics, so it's a bit of a cheat system on some other brand factors, they will do it through some of the mechanical parts, but what that essentially does is it just does your turns. safer and sharper, so let's put an s, push it down, turn it over, press the selected dynamic program, release the brake, the air suspension is as low as possible now this air suspension can go up and down up to 50 millimeters , but the lower the better, it just looks better, the stance is nicer and I'm excited to hear a car that doesn't have sound being pumped out by the audio.

I want to hear the sound of the engine and the exhaust and I'm excited, God, this thing sounds so guttural, with your foot on the ground, oh my God, it's so monstrous, there's so much speed and it's a really pure sound, ah, definitely You can't hear it like I'm listening to this thing. but it's so crude, look, this is the difference with the Range Rover. They're not like BMW and other brands, where when you downshift it'll have all this popping, there's no popping, which to me is still classy. San Diego, it's still a little heavier. car and you can feel like there's a lot of weight in the front of this car, but oh my god, there's so much power here.

Wow, did I tell you how much I love these emergency lights and how small they are? That sounds amazing, not the fastest downshift, if you ask me, there's about a second of delay so I wouldn't say it's a blistering software gearbox, but the shift and when the rear end feels like was falling from the bottom from the upshift, that's man, you don't have it. To dial it in, you just go to about 80 throttle and shift it and I think 500 horsepower is the number for guys right now, 500 horsepower to me isn't all anyone needs, but it's enough to make you sweat, so let's see if we can get liters per hundred kilometers here and I found the right setting in the cluster to get the liters per hundred kilometers because on average it says I'm getting 12 and a half liters per 100 kilometers but there's no way so Let's see how many liters per hour and kilometers I can burn with this rope at full load if I don't indicate it, it doesn't actually direct me backwards, but it vibrates and vibrates in the same way as if it were.

Hitting a rut in the road doesn't make me roll back, it doesn't make me buzz, it actually shakes me, it makes me vibrate, which is good, in terms of stability, this car, like I said, has air suspension and because of the brand per se. It's not known to be bumpy, the air suspension isn't totally flat, it's still on the softer side, so even though I'm in dynamic mode and all, it stays pretty flat, shut up Mike, I've been driving in eco mode now um or just normal mode for the last 10 minutes and it's surprisingly very similar to a Range Rover Sport.

It's so quiet. The bumps are very similar to an Audi Q8 because I'm used to driving a Q8 for a while so I'm familiar with it. that brand and in terms of fuel consumption, this is an 82 liter tank and now it averages 12.3 liters per 100 kilometers, so it is a very good fuel consumption, it is not like a typical six vehicle lanes which averages about 10, obviously it's an eight and it's a supercharged eight, but 12 liters is very good and I just drive down a street with normal traffic, without hammering like I did before and in silence so you can have a great conversation in the car with the people in it and not having this exhaust rumble in the back so the active exhaust has done an amazing job and yeah I mean you probably wouldn't know it was a diesel or if it was a regular six the one they put on him, how would you know?

You guys like the video. I'll lock it in the car. Bye bye.
