Hmm - have also noticed it seems to be PHEV specific that you cannot spec 22 inch wheels on the configurator.
I've got an SDV8 looking spot on...anyone know of anything specific PHEV wise that restricts wheel size?

Tyre width and rolling resistance? Most EV type vehicles run skinny eco type tyres... Maybe???

Thanks for the reply...hmm.. Not sure i can live with that visually. I'll speak to the dealer tomorrow and see if i can find out how critical this is or whether there's an dealer-fit work around.

The P400e cannot be specified with a towbar either, but the Advanced Tow Assist can be configured. Must be fitted at the dealer.

The deployable sidestep is also absent?

The fridge is now a chargeable option on the AB and there are no roof rail options so, as no aftermarket roof bars are available, there’s no option to put anything on the roof.

Probably not an issue for many people here, but not being able to fit a roof box for family holidays would have been a deal breaker for me. Here’s hoping this is just a website glitch at this stage

As I understand this is a proper fridge as opposed to a box that has cold air blown into it (which is still standard).

The standard box doesn’t just “blow cold air in”, is has the workings of a fridge, in miniature behind it. I know, I’ve removed and refitted the near identical item in 3 different D4’s now. In addition, the new item is the same price as the old one, bar a similar percentage cost increase

Standard on all models is - Front centre console cooler compartment
Optional is - Front centre console refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator looks completely different to my cooler compartment.

Maybe previously a fridge was an option and I never noticed it, having not ventured into options on earlier AB's?
