Hi all,
My wife currently has a 64 plate Evoque Dynamic which we’ve owned since new. Its done 62k now and has been pretty much faultless over the 6 years of running it.
However, she is often needing a little more space, the Evoque is quite pocket sized, and the only SUV she like over the Evoque is the Velar.
This would be a used/nearly new purchase – likely a year old.
Are there any genuine inherent problems with them (I’m not looking for a stay away from LR thread), what engine is recommended and what are the must have options on these?
At present we have the upgraded extended leather in red/black, pan roof, heated screen & wheel etc – are there any packs we should look out for that would give us the majority of sensible options without having to look for them individually?
How have you found the vehicle to live with?
Alternatively anyone know how it compares with an F-Pace? Guessing a Velar will hold value much better but is an F-Pace as premium?

What did you decide in the end, OP? My wife is having a similar debate with herself at the moment, seen an FPace and Velar for sale that both look perfect, but she can't decide between them.
It'll be a Velar of some variety, though likely next year now. My wife runs her own hair salon and yet another lockdown and no income. We're going to wait till the world returns to something resembling normality once again smile
