Hi
There are quite a lot of differences

Front parking sensors
sat nav
heated rear seats
blue tooth phone link
memory seats

There was a bigger difference from 07 onwards with the upgraded brembo brakes.
Im sure there are more to add
Someone on the forum will add to this list and maybe take some of mine off. 2017 Range Rover Sport SVR

yup. The seats are different, HSE much plusher. The HSE also has a fridge in the arm rest, Xenon / adaptive headlights (well mine has and I am unsure if this is on all 07 HSEs), sat nav is also standard in the HSE. There is other differences but I can't come up with any at the mo.
Muff If you see a bandwagon - it's too late.....

Java Black HSE TDV6 O7, alpaca, FF sunroof, adaptive Xenon headlights, SC grill, black privacy glass, clear indicators, tow-pack, colour-coded all black.Gone, but forever in my memory. Until my new one comes...

remember weighing up if it was worth an extra £5k or so to buy an HSE when bought the Red Devil in 2006, bought the HSE, was not even a consideration for MY10, did not even look at SE purple people eater

Well hopefully you'll get one in the next 6 weeks or so so you can bring it to the meet in May - will be good to see you there and you can compare it with others like yours....
