Afraid not. This is available from January production, 15.25MY.

You would be perfectly within your rights to cancel and reorder in light of this information though. I postponed my L405 SDV8 for HUD alone and if I'd ordered a V6 engine and saw this info, I would be miffed!

"You would be perfectly within your rights to cancel and reorder in light of this information though"

"This is available from January production" and "My new Dynamic is being built Friday"

Whilst you are able to cancel an order at any time, I'm not sure of the penalties in doing so at this late stage.

I'm not too worried by the extra fuel consumption but would my resale be effected that much? (I sold the last one at 11mths). Also is it confirmed for Jan production or a little open ended? 2017 MY - Dynamic, same again!

2016 MY - Dynamic - same spec again all round, engine a noticeable improvement

2015 HSE Dynamic - same spec as the last plus Meridian, Full Size Spare & InControl Apps

2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Zermatt Silver

As 2nd hand versions of the updated RRS2 are unlikely to appear on dealer's forecourts for quite some time, maybe more like a year, resale values of the current engined model shouldn't be affected in 2015 imo. However, now what happens to the SDV8? The performance gap is even more slender, it costs a lot more, higher emissions, less mpg. Maybe it will get deleted, or can LR upgrade the engine to reduce the emissions from 229 to sub 200 g/km and still make it swifter than the new SDV6? I doubt it, so as per the prior RRS tdv8, this version could be shortlived. Perhaps it could become a future discounted collectable bargain...cos some of us love these V8 diesels ....turbos not withstanding as on the prior model!

United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Orkney Grey

Not sure of the point of the off road cruise control but the new SDV6 engine and the HUD look like good changes. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

SDV8 will be going soon from both the RR and RRS. It isn't capable of Euro 6 emissions - they didn't even bother to integrate start/stop.

Scotland 2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 SE Santorini Black

And dropping a turbo from the tdv6, the two stage twin turbos meant seamless power from a standing start, has turbo technology changed so much that it can make do with one, or is it a shameless cost cutting excercise leaving owners paying the same for huge lag?

The lag on the twin SDV6 is pretty laughable anyway....

"ATPC works both in forward and reverse gears and is operational from 1mph to 19mph (1.8km/h to 30km/h)."

Off road cruise control at 19 mph in reverse will be fun.
