It's brand new. A mild hybrid straight six with turbo and electric supercharger.

Not a bad review that Kurt.

If that’s true, why did JLR both invest in a new engine family and in a new V8 assembly line? |

Yes, picked one up just before Christmas. Needed a stop gap between a then 2 year old iPace and next year's L460 MHEV, which in turn will be a stop gap to what I really want, 2024 L460 EV. TBH, I have yet to adjust to it - very difficult to come from a full EV back to ICE, the performance characteristics are so different. |

I think I would have waited. I jumped because: - my iPace was a very early one (Sep 2018) and although I had a mostly fantastic experience with it, residuals were strong and I didn't want to risk another 12-18 months. - I got a pretty good deal to somewhat mitigate the inevitable eye watering depreciation. (But, fwiw, the alternative may have been 12-18 mo Pivotal Ultraviolet @ £1600/mo.) - I was planning to go away over Christmas, and needed the capacity of a RR. So no super compelling reasons. But the inside of a new L405 P400 AB is not a bad place to be while ruminating on life. |

Bear in mind that JLR new car quality seems to have taken a dive again based on what I read about the Velar and Defender.
