I must drive both systems, to feel the difference. Here in Germany it is an option with 3k € . If someone drove both systems, please let me hear your opinion.

You can definitely feel the car stiffen up in Dynamic mode, its a firmer ride, less roll into the corners etc, there also sharper throttle and steering too.
The 'Dynamic' pack is standard on all but the 'SE' in the UK. Even then you can spec it as a £2,205 option.
Could be worth checking if your new car will have it as standard, or try and test drive them to see if you want to spec it if it not on there. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

@ beancounter
I ordered the HSE, but in Germany the Dynamic Response is an option. Only the V8 SC has it standard.

So if I have Dynamic response (which I do) should I be driving in it all the time?

Not if you are on the motorway, but if you are on twisty roads then yes, it makes a big difference Thumbs Up

Andorra 2011 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Fuji White

I drive to Barcelona at least once a week.... 2hrs of winding mountain roads and passes.....French spec lhd doesn't include the DP... and so happy I ordered the dynamic pack ... it keeps the car so firmly planted and connected to the road on the fast gentle bends... and on the tight u bends just seems make the front end seem that little bit lighter than the 2++ tons it is ...

The brochure implies the changes to throttle and steering only apply to petrol engine:

On 5.0 V8 Supercharged models the system can provide more performance-orientated responses to driver
input by remapping steering, throttle and gearbox settings.

Just found this on the RRS site:
"The Terrain Response® system includes Dynamic Programme (standard on LR-V8 Supercharged and optional on LR-SDV6 models), which can provide more performance-orientated responses to driver input by remapping steering, throttle and gearbox settings."


Seems theres an inconsistency in the literature, as I posted earlier on, this was from the RRS website.
Perhaps James/Steve could confirm Question ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I'm at home today so not able to access my guides, however what I will say is that the steering response changes on my 3.0 AB when AD is activated. I was led to believe that it adjusted suspension, steering, throttle and gearbox on all models....... But I'll confirm next week.
