Also, frankly these prices are just plain obscene! They may be great products but, if these prices on cartoq are accurate, they are asking for over 40L over an equivalent Q7. I'd rather get the Q7 and have enough spare to get an A3. And if a sporty feel is what i'm after, i'd rather get the new Cayenne, which i assume will be similarly priced AND more reliable.

Just my personaly opinion of course. Not that i have the funds to buy any car in this range!

Audi Q7 is 97 lacs on road and Cayenne is now 1.40 crs on road. Velar pricing is similar, not hugely overpriced compared to these two.

It's a really desirable car but with the new price reductions across JLR, it seems overpriced by 15 lakhs. The CKD F-Pace is now at 60L. The Velar and F-pace are to JLR what the Vento and Rapid are to VW. Hence such a large price differential is not justified, I hope the Velar goes the CKD route soon too.

This might cannibalize the Range Rover Sport also to some extent.

The 6 Pot Diesels are a good 13-14 lakhs costlier than its big brother the Range Rover Sport.

Is this imported as CBD?

It costs $49,900 (Rs 32.2 lakhs) in USA.
UK prices are £44,830 (Rs 38.7 lakhs).

This car is expensive everywhere, some versions overlapping with the Sport. The looks and cabin will ensure sales and it has no real rival to that end.The dashboard is totally unique and the design language is being introduced by this model.

I'm sure they won't be much attention to the Indian market, not enough volumes. The prices are high even for the exclusivity on offer.

JLR officially launched the velar in India. Back in December they had started the bookings and going by the the statements the officials have been making, the response is pretty good. They are sold out till March. The range starts at 78.8lakhs and goes well above a crore.

A capable car but definitely overpriced when compared to its rivals.

Test Drove the Velar Today.
The car looked smaller in person. The exteriors and the interiors with the dual screen are it's main USP. The car though felt really hemmed in especially at the back. The 3 litre engine was a delight for my father but a difference 40 lakhs between that and the 2 litre engine kills the potential 3 litre buyers at a landing cost of 1.5 crores. The Range Rover Sport suddenly starts feeling Value For Money.

Yes, and 2017 MY have some deals as well, 10 Lac or so, but I found the dash on the sports very plain and the interior feels dated now. With this pricing, we will have a situation similar to F-pace which was sold with 25-35 lac discounts on CBU.

I think they are going too fast on launching models and importing large built-up units, they don't have enough customers or most guys are still afraid of spending so much on this brand which is known for wrong reasons in past.

Yes, the dash on the Sport feels plain and dated, but still it's quite a steal as compared to the Velar. Our SA told that 6 of his Velar customers had converted to The Sport (I still doubt this though). Those who are looking for the Sport, it is the right time now to get it with massive discounts going on it.

He even tried to convince us to get the Sport but for now we have decided to wait for the new facelifted Sport which has the new dual screen interiors and arrives in another few months.

Yes, but once you drive the Vogue, you will never able to buy the sports either. And the newer Vogue is going to be even more impressive with these interiors
