I have a deposit down for a MY16 RRS HSE Dynamic in Santorini Black with a Stealth Pack.

Went to a Stealer a couple of days ago and saw a Causeway Grey with Stealth Pack and it looked amazing!

As you all probably know, Causeway Grey has been delisted for MY16 and replaced with Carpathian Grey. Has anyone seen Carpathian Grey in the flesh? Or do any of you know how it will compare to the outgoing Causeway Grey?

I think the Stealth Pack gets a bit lost on Santorini, but would rather be safe and order that unless anyone can confirm how dark the new Carpathian Grey is.

I'd rather wait for MY16 than find a MY15.5

Also has the Ebony/Pimento as shown in the paper catalogue been delisted too, as I can only see full red seats on the configurator. Thanks.

I think it's the same colour , just renamed . The old colour looked brown/green on the web site , now it looks dark grey . Just a renaming / rebranding exercise from land rover . I might be wrong though .

I ordered Carpathian Grey. Been trying to see it in flesh too. 2-3 weeks ago I phoned the dealer to ask if they had a sample of Carpathian Grey in the showroom. Receptionist asked around and confirmed they had it (not a car but just a colour sample). Went in the following weekend only to be told "No sir it is a new colour and we haven't received it yet"

Don't know how it compares to Causeway but from pictures Carpathian looks like a very dark grey - certainly darker than Corris. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Thanks for the replies. I had a look at the Carpathian Grey sample and to me it looked slightly lighter than the Causeway Grey sample.

But when I put the Causeway Grey sample next to a RRS in causeway Grey that didn't match either. Such a shame no one in a Land Rover showroom can confirm what it will be like.

Did you go for Stealth Pack too @fkarim ?

Nope. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

I was thinking to order RRS A/B Dynamic in Carpathian but I ordered in Santorini Black because I am not brave enough to order a color without see it in real or just a photo. However I have the option to change color before the end of the month which is the deadline.

Before 1 month I sent an email to the manufacturer of LR asking to send me a real photo of the Carpathian grey because it is a new color and I can not find anything in the internet. They informed me that ''Unfortunately, we do not have the facility to send the photographs as requested I can but refer you to the brochures available within the Land Rover retailer network or alternatively via the Land Rover website''

I can not understand how they want us to order something without see it first in real
I saw the causeway gray in real and I like it but Carpathian gray is different color, I compared the samples that they have in the showroom of the dealer.

I have a HSE Dynamic MY16 on order in Carpathian grey. The dealers now have sample colours. Its much darker than Corris grey. Its one of those colours that changes shade in natural or artificial light, so best to take the sample outside to view the real colour, also in some directions it looks grey and in others almost black.. Our old RRS was Santorini Black, which was a great colour, but a nightmare to keep clean and also showed every slight scratch. I am hoping the Carpathian grey will be a little better.

I don't like the Corris Grey - too light. If Carpathian is as you say and near Black in some lights then might go for that as it allows the Stealth Pack to stand out. Will go and see if I can have a look at the swatch outside.

Shame really that there is no information or better pictures of Carpathian out there. Configurator makes Santorini look Grey!

Just seen the carpaithian grey colour sample at the dealers , showroom lights , in the shade and outside in the sun . It's just slightly lighter than causeway grey not a lot just a bit lighter .

Thanks Fletcher. Popped into another dealer today and they reckon Land Rover have just renamed the colour and they have been told that it will be more or less exactly the same.

But comparing the swatches definitely does look slightly lighter!

Saw a Havana with Stealth Pack on today and looked pretty good. So think I will risk it and go with the Carpathian Grey as Stealth on Santorini does get lost a bit.

Singh saab white le la With Stealth Pack it looks fattey chuk amazing

RRSMan - nah yaar, chitti di gal ni baan di lol.

Think it's gotta be the Carpathian Grey!

Good luck with it all bro

Thanks bro! Now undecided about the seats! Trying to decide between black or pimento.

Finally got to see Carpathian Grey sample at the dealer and compared to some other colours today.
