The most common major mechanical concern on the 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 3.0L Supercharged V6 is the cooling system, particularly coolant leaks around the supercharger and its coolant pipes. This is especially important because you previously mentioned that your Velar leaks antifreeze near the supercharger when the engine gets hot.

What 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My car caught on fire due to electrical and engine issues.
My 2019 Range Rover Velar P250 R-Dynamic SE began experiencing cooling system issues approximately 5 months after purchase. The vehicle was brought to an authorized Land Rover dealership several times during the warranty period. Despite these visits, the underlying problem — including cracked thermostat housing, leaking coolant hoses, and plastic cooling system components — was never permanently repaired. Over time, the unresolved defect caused catastrophic engine and turbocharger failure, which I paid for out of pocket. The cooling issues are consistent with known Land Rover service bulletins covering: “Thermostat housing / coolant outlet leaks”, “Coolant crossover pipe / O-ring leaks”, “Turbocharger coolant pipe leaks”. The defect substantially affects vehicle reliability, safety, and value. I have attached: Dealer repair orders, Independent shop invoices for cooling repairs, engine and turbocharger replacement invoice, timeline of events showing repeated repair attempts and resulting failures.
Both the Cooling elbow and manifold connecting to the engine block were disintegrating causing severe leaks on both the elbow and manifold connections. This is a well known recall for Range Rover Velars that was never addressed on my vehicle. Multiple dealers refused to address the issue forcing me to perform the repairs myself.
