TFT Instrument Panel

I was messing around with the Build feature on the LR site today to check on a few choices I made in my build and I noticed a change to the graphic used for the interior shot of the HSE model. Where previously it included the TFT Instrument panel it now has a standard analogue set of clocks. In the multimedia description list below it does list TFT Instruments but it has planted a seed of doubt in my mind.

Call me a nerd but I really wanted the TFT Clocks and I would be extremely disappointed if my car turns up in september without them. Throughout my speccing process all of the pictures and literature included the clocks and the sales guy never mentioned anything different.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

As you say TFT still listed on the configurator for the HSE, so it looks like they are using the wrong graphic.

God I hope so or this is going to be the most disappointing £75k purchase of all time. Every time i get in the car and look at the analogue clocks it will Censored me off. My concern now is that the TFT is somehow linked to the dynamic package or something like that and the sales guy lied or didn't realise and/or the online literature is unclear or plain wrong. Sad though it may be it as the TFT screen that finally swung me to the car amongst a few other things of course.

I'm sure it's another configurator "feature" - the TFT is not only the HSE international models with or without Dynamic.

Fingers crossed. I'm almost too scared to speak to the dealer in case they give me bad news in which case what has already been a less than impressive sales process will turn totally sour.

Mine is a standard UK spec HSE, non Dynamic which was delivered in March this year and it has the full LCD instruments.

Thanks the lot. Very reassuring to hear that.

You are worrying needlessly


I hope you are right. The contradictory website really doesn't help someone who is a bit obsessive when it comes to detail and who is also terrible at waiting. The more time I have to wait the more time I have to stress over whether I have made the right choice with this extra/option or not. You wouldn't believe how many times I changed my mind over the tinted back windows. I am better suited to walking into to a shop and just picking out what I want there and then.

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Never, ever put 100% faith in the LR configurator, it is full of lies and misleading specifications and even gives configurations that cannot be bought on occasion and will allow options that are not actually available! A trip or phone call to a dealership for the brochure is a better guide. I can also confirm that my March 2015 HSE Dynamic has the TFT dash. There appears to have been a step backwards with them though........... In 2010 I had a run out 3.6 TDv8 FFRR and I could alter the screen saver of the TFT screen - not the dials themselves but the "desktop" that comes on when you get into the car and you could download your own personal background. Seems that LR has done away with that rarely used feature. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW
