when I bought my 2018MY I was hovering between the pre and post facelift. I didnt like the look of the seats on the post facelift but they are very comfortable and ive got used to them now. The bigger screens are more modern and worth the upgrade. Having to screen tap is a bit of a nuisance rather than old fashioned buttons

The facelift was 2018MY. There's no doubt that there's more cachez the newer you get and the facelift updates are what the cognicenti look for. Of course for the vast majority of the great unwashed, they cant even tell the difference between a Sport and FF so it would all be lost on them. For me I was very happy with the 2017 (couldn't afford a MY18 anyway).

Personally, if the infotainment is all you're really interested in, save the money and go for an earlier model, giving you a nice wedge for any potential repairs, because you can change it to the newest new style:

Thanks guys, most helpful. to be fair I'm a bit of a technophobe, so doubt I'd use the screens anyway as long as classic fm can be played on the wireless I'll be happy

2018+ have Ultra wide band technology and have just been all recalled this year to have the security update making them a little bit more difficult to steal.

Thanks Kot. I never had an issue with the dpf on my previous 4.4 TDV8 , yet the first three years of it's life I did maybe 6,000 miles in total, all very short runs.

I do similar mileage, and in hindsight I should have gone for the petrol v8. It has to be the v8 though 😁 |

Petrol (v8 of course) is the way to go for you Nick, perhaps if p400e if that is tolerable for you. A p400e wafted past me on the supermarket car park yesterday and I do have to admit, I was very impressed by how silent it was First time FFRR owner |

I would agree also - short trips go for a petrol V8, as great as the SDV8 is. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8 |

Very late 16 early 17 as stated so you get the wide screen and I think the sat nav was finally displayed on the driver display with that MY. I personally prefer the interior before the multi screens but unfortunately a year too early for LED head lights which I think are one of the best things to be introduced into car technology. I would have LED lights over Apple Car Play. 2010 RR Autobiography 5.0 SC
