Complaints for the 2020 Range Rover Velar center on engine and cooling system issues. Multiple owners report coolant leaks traced to the engine's internal crossover pipes, water pump, and auxiliary radiator, often surfacing around 35,000–40,000 miles and confirmed by shops requiring significant component replacement. A separate thread involves oil, owners describe the critical oil warning appearing without adequate lead time, with one account of the engine shutting off at highway speed after the light appeared. Outside the engine, a handful of owners report that using the factory remote start app can cause the lower infotainment screen to fail on startup, which in turn prevents traction control, hill descent, and automatic emergency braking from initializing until the vehicle is restarted manually.

By System
The 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Velar has 3 recalls, the most serious being a seat belt defect where the automatic locking retractors may not properly secure a child safety seat, leaving it loose in a crash. This issue affects both front and rear seat belt assemblies, and prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the problem. The vehicle's lower anchor points for child seats are not affected and remain usable. The third recall involves the automatic high beam system, which can switch the headlights to high beam without showing any indicator in the instrument cluster, leaving the driver unaware that oncoming traffic is seeing full-brightness headlights.
