I like that a lot including the new 707 wheels. Nicely updated as you say.
Good luck with it and a shame it will get filthy on it's first day.

The satin highlights, headlights, grill and wheels all combine to make the car look so much more fresh (and aggressive)

Aggressive is the last thing I want a Range Rover to look, if I wanted to look like a ‘roid-fuelled doorman or a drug dealer I’d buy a GLE Coupe or something.

Some random musings:

Issues:

1. M button on drivers memory seat works intermittently
2. Centre console lid pops open occasionally

Dislikes:

1. You cannot choose your instrument style anymore
2. The volume shows on the top screen even when you have entertainment selected on the bottom screen (should show on both)
3. Touch buttons for seat memory and on steering wheel quality os OK but not great
4. Seat squabs are ugly

Likes:

1. Dual screen is great
2. The reading of incoming text messages works well
3. Headrests now just electrically horizontally as well as vertically
4. Phone call end button on steering wheel is cool
5. Ambient lighting has been taken to whole new level
6. Gesture blind
7. Rear controls for volume, blind and other side windows is great
8. I have a fridge despite the spec implying I wouldn't!

Are there any photos of these seats please?

I like the illuminated steering wheel switches, but I fear I'd miss the high quality feel of the current ones.

New colour and 3 zones in which you can choose different colours - upper, middle and lower

The new key has a proximity function so the vehicle can tell that it is being used rather than a thief relaying the signal from elsewhere. Pictures of key and seat squab to follow shortly.

Does the Infotainment system have the new online media functionality with Deezer and Tunein. I have seen that the latest Velar software has it... Just curious if the big RR has got it too...
