The 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar has not been subjected to federal crash testing. This means no overall star rating or sub-ratings are available from NHTSA, precluding the calculation of a Safety Index score. The safety profile for this model year is therefore determined entirely by its recall and complaint history. Three recall campaigns have been issued, addressing electrical systems and seat belts. Owner-reported issues stand at eight complaints, none of which allege fatalities or fires. Without crash-test data, there is no federal assessment of the vehicle's occupant protection capabilities.
The 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, carries three federal recall campaigns, and falls in the Light recall and complaint burden band according to NHTSA data.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar?
The 2022 Range Rover Velar has no crash-test data from NHTSA, making its safety profile particularly dependent on its recall history and owner-submitted complaints. Three distinct recall campaigns address safety-critical systems. One recall targeting the DC/DC converter affects a broad range of models and years, while another for the ADAS system is specific to 2022 Velar production. A third recall, concerning seatbelt pretensioners, is shared across the 2022 Land Rover lineup. These recalls highlight federal attention to potential issues in electrical systems and occupant restraints. Eight owner complaints have been filed, all unverified, with a notable concentration in the powertrain and electrical system. This thematic alignment with two of the three recall areas suggests a pattern in reported concerns. No crash-test results for sibling model years are available to offer a reference point for crash performance. The Light burden band assigned to this vehicle reflects the volume of recalls and complaints, not an assessment of its crashworthiness.

- NHTSA issued a recall specific to 2022 Velar vehicles targeting the advanced driver-assistance system, meaning some units left the factory with a software or hardware condition that prompted a federal safety action on that model year alone.
- A seat-belt pretensioner recall covers the 2022 Velar alongside other 2022 Land Rover models, making it a broad-population restraint-system concern that a VIN check can confirm as repaired or open on any individual vehicle.
