18 model year what is missing on the SE that is standard on the AB? Is the dash fascia leather on the SE even though its not stitched? Rear side rest and seat headrest i can see just wondered what else. tia.

I don’t think the SE has a leather dashboard. Other things I can think of that the AB has….bearing in mind this assumes the SE doesn’t have any options

- Surround Cameras
- Sliding Panoramic Roof
- Pixel LED headlights
- Front fog lights
- Adaptive cruise control with lane assist
- 24 Way adjustable front seats
- Front seat massage
- Executive Class rear seats (16 way with memory, electric armrest, electric load through)
- 4 Zone climate
- Suedecloth headlining (full leather headlining is a no cost option, but very rare)
- Premium carpet mats
- Illuminated treadplates
- Remote timed climate
- Park Assist
- Lane keep assist / blind spot assist MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

My so called 'top of the range' Autobiography doesn't have half of what Martin2 describes, they were options. My car was the only one I looked at before buying it and I assumed it would have everything!!! Wrong!!!
Oops. 405 thread. Sorry.

Mine is a 67 plate so 2017/2018 and doesn't have LED headlights, electric rear armrest, or park assist. It does have a leather headlining though, interesting to hear they are rare FFRR SDV8 Autobiography

I didn’t see a single car with the leather headlining then I looked. I did have a fairly narrow scope though (max 12 months old, SDV8, not black/white or with black pack/wheels). MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

So if buying an SE it would need to have cameras,roof,laneasist,acc.

Thanks Martin.

My 2018 SE had Lane assist, 360 cameras and fog lights, although I think the last two came with the BRG paint for some strange reason.

SE's have a good spec and I don't even use half the "toys" anyway. All LR cars from 1984
2021.5 Vogue SE D300 Carpathian Grey
2018 Vogue SE British Racing Green GONE

When I was looking, quite a lot of the SE’s had the surround cameras and adaptive cruise. None had remote climate which I wanted and I felt the extra leather made quite a difference. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

Martin the extra leather is it just the dash fascia or in other areas also?

I thought ACC & fog lights were standard on the VSE - but not lane assist.
I also thought the opening sunroof was a no cost option but could be wrong.

I've got a PDF of the 2019 price/specification guide.

It doesn't cover everything, just the highlights but gives you an idea. If you're looking at a VSE, then the 'Drive Pro Pack' will give you adaptive cruise (pus a couple of other things) which is probably more likely than it being a standalone option. Driver Assist pack includes surround cameras on top of what's included in the Driver Pro Pack. Fog lights are a £155 option

Every day is a school day - I guess I was wrong about the fog lights

However, as is always the case, it depends on which model year you are looking at. Here's the 2016 brochure from another thread which has a model comparison for earlier models - where ACC was standard on the VSE.

I suppose seeing that the AB was 10k more when new and now there might be 5k cheaper at the most it is probably better just to get an AB but as with all things its not so easy as a well-specced SE with what you might prefer colour and option wise might come up.
Thanks for the Brochure link Alister has anyone got the 18 model brochure?
