MY16 feedback on enhancements and extras

Comparison v MY 14. 5
Engine has more grrr, standing start more snap but noticeable pickup from 40 mph. Would say MY 14. 5 was faster from 0 to 40. Both getting to 60 at the same time.MY 16 has a lot more energy on climbing hills available.
Mpg around town 29/32.. on fast journey c 37 on 50 mph cruise 42/44 mpg
Infotainment I don't find a prob and is responsive enough for my needs, incontrol Apps work well, Wifi is excellent.
TV excellent quality in Surrey.. when blanked out on move you get sound break up above 50 mph.
Load thru rear seat is a better look than normal as when folded down allows for clearer rear view.
No issues with seat leather or sagging.
Got all terrain progress control with 4x4 pack.. non tested as yet.
Extra large water bottle a no brainer.
Electric towbar gives a better looking rear Imho and at £900 is a good option on initial order (> £2k if dealer fitted)
Auto lowered exit/entry works v well and saves seat scuffing.
Wave under boot corner with foot boot entry works well and is a party piece.
Interior grab handles are sturdier.
Rear camera with own washer is very clear.
Tail gate lifter sturdier and can be set to raise to a certain height.
All round cameras very good but helicopter 'plan' view is very clever and updates live as you move. My drive shown below.


 P400e HSE Portofino Blue and Ivory Seats.. it's like a yacht!!

Interesting, many thanks for sharing. I'm making the jump from a 14.5 to a 16 (or .5) and it's good to hear so many improvements on an already brilliant car. Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more... Twisted Evil

Gone but not forgotten:
2014 RRS2 SDV6 HSE in Loire Blue
2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE in Santorini Black
