Just wondering peoples views on this? I know the Vogue and VSE are the ones to go for but what will I be missing out on with an HSE? I know there will be a few frills missing but are the seats a lower spec or is it just the leather?

Found a car I like and has all the right history but just noticed its an HSE.

TIA

No I have one they are lighter and therefore faster  Present :2008 TDV8 HSE
Gone Audi A5 2.7TDI
Gone Discovery 3 HSE
Gone Mercedes CLK
Gone Range Rover 2.5 DSE

Less on them so less to go wrong

You will still enjoy it but resale will be harder

i had one and didnt have the sunroof and heated rear seats.. ... - .- -.

Can live without heated rear seats but bothered that the seats won't be as comfy and that it prob wont have bluetooth or satnav/touch screen. Not listed in details so assuming it won't have them?

I guess its down to the mentality of the individual. Some folk would possibly be disappointed others would be more than happy.

Aside from this it depends how much you like your creature comforts. Sometimes its easy to take all the bits for granted, but certain functions I do tend to use and would miss if I didn't have them. But if you have never owned a Range Rover L322 then I would imagine even the HSE would be a very nice place to be and you would not miss something you have not had if you know what I mean.

I would imagine if you have had previously had a Vogue or Vogue SE then the chances of being disappointed would be much higher for sure.

my seats were as in the vogue and it also had touch screen and BT [2005]..i think the 'se' has basic seats..

another point is that certain vogue options might have been specced on the hse.. ... - .- -.

Go Vogue/VSE/Autobiography.

The Range Rover is for people to feel good and if your lacking SAT NAV and Trim refinements you will never be totally happy.

The HSE, & SE should never have been an option in the UK.

cooled seats are a must have option for the summer  56 TDV8 Vogue SE

Van Diesel - it might assist if you give an idea as to what MY/budget you're thinking of as the specs of HSE's, Vogues etc changed over the car's development.

I'm on my second Vogue. Initially I looked at HSE's, but I wanted a sunroof - which I why I got another Vogue . . . once bitten, twice shy !

If music is important to you, Vogue SE is the way to go as you can plug MP's into them.

I never understood the SE spec, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at an HSE.

 Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

I have a VSE and I don't use;
Heated/cooled seats
Heated steering wheel
FBH
CD player
DVD player (yet)

However it's good to have them. I'd bizarrely miss them if they weren't in it but that's because I've had them if that makes sense. Test drive one of each and see what you prefer. I wouldn't say you'd be disappointed at all.

I almost bought a HSE, it had full-ish vogue spec but on paper still a HSE so values can be less even with all the kit loaded on...

I also looked at a VSE but cooled seats are not needed in the north west !! Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

I know this comment is no help, but I've got to ask. How many trim levels do y'all have over there?? We've got HSE and Supercharged here in the states and now I'm curious about these others. (Reminds me of when I went to Germany and found out Mercedes sold 4 cylinder engines and about a dozen engine choices for each class instead of just the two or three we get stateside.) 2007 Range Rover Supercharged
2003 Jeep Wrangler

It ha changed a bit now but:

SE- Lowest Spec, no heated seats(I think their even manual adjust but not sure?), sat nav,cooled seats, inferior sound system, I don't think it even gets Xenons as standard.
HSE-Heated, electric Seats,no sat nav,Xenons,
Vogue-Improved Seats+Heated Front and Rear,Improved Sound System, HK?, Sat Nav,Sunroof,Heated Steering wheel
Vogue SE-As Above but with RSE? and possibly cooled Seats
Autobiography-As above but with eveb more added options that I'm not sure about.

This is for the earlier ones though 2002-2007 ish?,I'm not sure about later models as I've not owned or researched them, I think the SE was discontinued though.
