Could just be a poorly fitted door seal or similar. There have been reports of bits not fitted well e.g. the fuel filler flap, and it's early days for the new model so quality issues are likely still being ironed out. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Not sure it helps you very much but last week I enjoyed a morning at the Land Rover Experience Centre in North Yorkshire driving a P510e Autobiography.

It's amazing to me that LR doesn't catch these issues during the 1,000's of test KM's. Mind blowing really. 2020 SVR / R.I.P. 2019 SVR / 2016 D4 Landmark / 2005 D3 HSE |

I had a car out on test for day last week including a fatr bit of motorway driving. No wind noise at all so it can be fixed I guess.

These are build quality issues, not design issues. These issues don't get picked up until they are driven - no one wants to pick up their brand new car and find it's got 100 miles on the clock thanks to it being driven to check for rattles and seal issues. So the owner gets the "joy" of discovering them for themselves. Of course, if quality control in the factory was better... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

In test driving the new FFRR and the new RRS, I noticed the same wind noise at low speeds (30 to 40mph) on both cars - lets hope its something as simple as a door seal / new car teething problems but as others say, worrying these type of issues not picked up during testing.

The wind noise has been diagnosed to the triangular window which isnt in stock so fingers crossed when stock arrives this solves the issue. |

Mine is currently in the dealer for this..this was the first time someone had raised the issue with them so they insisted on a teat drive with the master tech which confirmed that i wasnt making it up. Anyhow both A pillars to be taken apart and stuffed with some kind of foam/ padding as per the land rover recommendation 🤔.
