That's cost cutting pure and simple.

I wonder what else they have taken out/downgraded that isn't so obvious.

There is going to come a point where they push the price increases and de-contenting too far but they seem to be getting away with it for now.

On another note, I must be getting old, but I am struggling to see why I would need 615bhp in my FFRR. Arguably my P530 is over the top for 99% of driving on today's roads. Especially as the FFRR makes one adopt a more relaxed driving style than would perhaps be the case in other cars.

Almost £8K now for SVO paint!

I love my BRG but I would never pay £8K for it.

Getting rid of the physical climate controls is a poor decision.

Terrain response and radio on/off/volume control gone as well from the centre console.

Ugh.

Hopefully there's time to change it back - or maybe that's a folding cover over the top

It's clearly just an edited version of the current marketing pic - here

Same controls as the 24MY Velar got.

That confirms it then - I suppose it will become standard across all models.

Looks nice in the photos, but must be a PITA to live with.

When I went and had my SVA bespoke built, they showed us a load of colours with SWMBO commenting “ Oh I quite like that colour”. When I asked how much for that particular colour i was taken aback by the reply of………..£19,500 Sir

For £19.5k of paint I would want it to be self washing and self polishing paint at the very least First time FFRR owner

Very good! I liked that a lot  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

This is the new 24MY changes

You can now get the Carbon fibre engine cover as well which is just pure art

Are you talking about a solid, one-piece carbon fiber hood like AMG or Brabus make for the G-Class or the carbon fiber overlay that covers the engine and that you can only see when you open the hood, which is... never for 99% of people?

A carbon fibre engine cover under bonnet like for the L405 SV, their is only 1% of people that it matters to. The owner normally
