It's rather pointless to ask it here IMHO. Original SV buyers are not people who hang on internet forums. Smile

Not until it needs fixing at least Whistle Whistle

And to prove my point ..............

Forums are great things, new or old cars all have "issues" that owners can share knowledge about, if we didn't help each other it would be a pointless place to bother with.

Thumbs Up

Back to the original post, you need to read the spec of each car and not the badge on L460's especially the earlier ones, no matter what model you are looking at.

There had been many component shortages resulting in cars not leaving the factory while awaiting parts. In the end, cars were sent out with various specs and some were de-spec'd. "SV" does not mean you get all the options but it should have meant you got the signature sound system, whereas some AB sound systems were downgraded and HSE were downgraded again.

Last year I was in the market for a new P550e and I needed the front fridge. You would have thought the fridge would have come as standard for AB and SV (as it did with the previous gen) but it doesn't. Also wanted rear entertainment - so you would have thought that would also come with a 3 pin charging point - nope! Again it needed to have been spec'd at extra cost, even though it was only a few hundred quid.

Shortly after my AB arrived, JLR downgraded the standard exec rear seats and put them as a cost option (I think it was £2k).

So in the end I realised SV was more about the badge and cosmetics rather than the spec. For the record I do like the SV grille in the dark chrome. I totally do not get the part-leather and part-cloth rear seats being a premium though, especially when they are in a different colour!

I ended up with a 550e AB with the right spec.
