I'm in the market for a 2012 HSE Luxury RSS, however I'm coming across a lot that are advertised as Luxury model, yet there are some signs which are making me think differently.

Some models have the Luxury badge on the rear - some only have an SDV6 badge.

Some models have the adaptive cruise - some dont (yet I thought adaptive cruise was part of the luxury spec?)

Can anyone tell me what the "official" spec is for the 2012 HSE Luxury model please?

I can't wait to finally own one of these beauts, but man it's hard work trying to find the right one

Put your vin into a landrover vin decoder.

Sorry not your car, or reg into reg checkers.

Just tried that with the reg, but it only comes up as HSE SDV6, even on cars that I knew were a Luxury trim.
Not sure these sites pick up that level of detail?

Strange, mine picks up black ed.

Wouldn't take any notice of badges plenty of cars running around with badges on for something they are not, A/B's probably being the main one's. I just had a quick look at a MY13 sales brochure and ACC was a option on the HSE and LUX models, all standard extras fitted to a LUX were options available on the HSE so might be difficult to tell really, but if it hasn't got the extended leather pack i.e. leather dash top and door capping's etc. or a heated steering wheel then it is not a LUX as they were standard factory fitment. Will also have the H/K Logic 7 sound system. May be a few other smaller parts as well.

Cheers

A/B's?
Mine says " Model: R Rover Sport Hse Black Sdv6 A "
Does that mean something?

I think the A is for automatic. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Ahhhh that makes sense - sorry to hijack:)

A/B abbreviation for Autobiography model.
