That was more true of Jags - its less true now and of LR's...not untrue

I had an x-type in 06 and when I had it up on the ramp to fit a towbar everything underneath had ford stamped on it

Sad thing is I had a mondeo in 96 and it was fantastic but bought the jag because I wanted more prestige and it was awful - so bad I only kept it 6 months - the shortest time ever had a car  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

NO TDV8

Big mistake   SDV8 vogue SE.
Corris grey and ivory leather + most of the toys.
Limited edition RRS model number 0001
Gone TDV8 RR Sport. Never to be forgotten.

Wife has an i8 BMW

No TDV8 at the moment, is it due, as well as a hybrid diesel and 4 cyl petrol. Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

Having a quick play with the configurator. Seems that if you want to take the thing off road or do any serious towing, you need to buy the £62k Dynamic. The Basic SE doesn't appear to have the option of the low range box. You'd think that most people who wanted a Sport that they could use off road would be looking at the more basic level rather than the more expensive versions.

Seems odd.

Must admit that the looks are growing on me - other than the silly plastic lower bumper things. It certainly looks better than the leaked images suggested. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I tried to spec a similar car to my current HSE and I recon that when I add on things that the current one has that are options on the new one, but 'like for like' I recon it's up by about £5k.
It's not particularly scientific approach and I appreciate that there are some additional toys on the new one as standard.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

Why call it a Dynamic ! Wife has one if those   SDV8 vogue SE.

I spec'd up an Autobiography and it came to £83k, ouch. I'd expect a V8 diesel for that money

@Mad Ferret: I specced up a 4.4TDV8 FFRR with the toys I'd want and it came to £89k. For £5k more I'd just go with the real Range Rover if I was in the market to spend that sort of money.

Admittedly I'm not interested in the entertainment systems or upgraded audio (1200W? Really? My hearing's bad enough already!) so my wishlist of options is fairly short. The new 290bhp SDV6 is impressive in the new RRS but there is something about V8 diesels...  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Looking at the figures, the new RRS has better approach, ramp and departure angles than the current version. Standard road height is only 14mm less than off road height in the current version and the off road height is 50mm more than the current version's. That, along with a wading depth of 850mm is good news for those who like a bit of offroading.

I think the new RRS's stance is going to upset some people who like their 4x4 to be low to the ground. Presumably mods soon will be available to let those people run theirs lower than standard. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

My calculations seem to agree, about 5K more for a comparative HSE spec.

Last night all the engine options were on the site...i probably caught it at the right time. TDV8, TDV6 v8 and another in the S and SE options...all gone now Mike

2014 Facelift Discovery

According to What Car, the TDV8 and the Hybrid will be out next year

Has anyone found a picture of one in Black? Also re the interior - is ebony / lunar the closest to black on black?

Deposit paid a few months ago and unsure to go grey or black... 2017 MY - Dynamic, same again!

2016 MY - Dynamic - same spec again all round, engine a noticeable improvement

2015 HSE Dynamic - same spec as the last plus Meridian, Full Size Spare & InControl Apps

HSE Dynamic 2014:
Ebony / Lunar, Heated Mirrors, Privacy Glass, Heated Steering Wheel, Red Callipers, Interior Mood Lighting, Ebony Headlining, Panoramic Roof, Electric Towbar, Centre Console Fridge.

Previously: 2011 RRS, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Audi S5 Cab, RRS, Audi S4 Cab.
