Stunning , well done .

Stunning vehicle. I am very envious. Do LR not sell as many HSE's compared to AB's? . It appears as if the majority of cars both here and on dealership forecourts are AB's with HSE's being few and far between.

Look beautiful Fkarim, interesting that it looks black in some light and looks like Corris in bright sunshine.

Bluestone - a lot of buyers spec up an HSE Dynamic with a heap of options and then find that they can buy an Autobiography for less with most of the toys they want plus some they never knew they wanted as standard. 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

@fkarim that Carpathian looks excellent. Much nicer than Causeway. Congratulations on the whip

Thanks guys. Yes, the colour difference is very noticeable depending on light. The contrast with black roof is subtle in grey weather and much more obvious in brighter conditions. Really happy with the colour choice. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Does anyone know if the my16 HSE has trip colour mood lighting. Handbook says its in extras in extras on the screen but I don't have an extras screen 2008 Factory HST- Sold
Arrived 2016 HSE carpathian grey

I payed extra to have the mood lighting , I think it's for the cabin rather than the dash/trip

£230 option. 

I thought you got a watered down version then more colours if you paid the extra. Never mind thanks for the replies 2008 Factory HST- Sold

@Maidenmania, be happy you didn't spend that £230. It is standard in AB and unless mine is broken, it is a joke and very misleading. The picture in the "Extra Features" screen shows the entire cabin in colour. What you get in reality is a bit of light in the centre console that is hardly noticeable (even at full brightness setting of mood lighting) to the driver and front passenger but a little more visible to the rear passengers. That's it! I have yet to explore whether it should do more. The handbook doesn't say much apart from where to turn it on from.

I wouldn't have paid extra for it even if it lit up the entire cabin (not my thing) but those like Fletcher who have paid to have it will be disappointed, again assuming the above is all it does.

Instrument panel changes to red when put in Dynamic mode on TR but as said, not with mood lighting.

@DRDILL, can you confirm if your mood lighting is also limited to what I have found (explained above)? Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top
