Most Helpful Review

Never buy Range Rover Cars, they are non reliable and after sale no one will listen.

Don't buy any Range Rover cars, they are worthless and inferior in quality, I bought a new Velar in April 2024 and AC malfunctioned on the delivery bay and the car is still at the workshop without any solution. AMP Motors Gurugram and JLR is least bothered after selling the car. It's almost 3 months I am not able to use the new car and paying EMI, Interest, insurance, depreciation and it's affecting my mental health now.

Waste of money...

<p>Expensive service and maintenance cost. Poor average somewhere between 5to7km in city. Mercedes Benz cla or perhaps c class is better than this one. Cabin is excellent, touchscreen display response is far better than other models. Leather seats are perfect. Steering wheel and it's mounted controls are best in this segment. Resale value is poor. I have purchased in 2015 and done 18,000 km I have sold it at 17.6 lacs.</p>NANA
