So, after a 4 month wait my new RRS HSE finally ended up parked on my drive.

She is replacing my 63 plate RRS HSE Dynamic, which is probably the best car I have ever owned.

A big thank you to Alex and Susie at Guy Salmon Land Rover, Northampton for once again ensuring that I received cracking customer service and a good deal







Jim

Congrats Jim. She looks superb!

Well done, looks great . Enjoy.

Looks lovely!

Any reason you switched from HSE Dynamic to HSE? Did you not use the Dynamic mode?

Is this carpathain grey? What interior did you go for? Intrigued as if you have black interior it's exactly what I'm thinking of ordering and wondered if you had any interior pics?

I've had two Carpathian cars now. My first was ebony/ivory which to be honest was lovely but so impractical.

I now have Ebony/Lunar/Cirrus tri-tone and love it!

I'm considering hse or hse dynamic though and tritone only available on the autobiography

Is ebony/lunar available? It's a really dark grey - I like how subtle the contrast between the two colours is.

No lunar available

I have ebony/lunar on my 2015 HSE Dynamic didn't realise that choice has been removed. It is quite a subtle mix and the dealership that ordered the car didn't realise that it had been specced that way! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Jim, any reason why you opted for basic HSE rather than dynamic with your new car? Seems like a step down but respect your decision. Your car after all.

Hi Gav

To be honest I hardly ever used dynamic mode so for the extra £7k I decided to go for a HSE with a few extras. I drive a mix of country lanes, A roads and dual carriageways on a daily basis and I haven't noticed any reduction in handling. I also decided to go with the standard 20" HSE wheels which I think give the car a much better ride when compared to my previous RRS that was fitted with 21's.

I'm getting confused now. What does this Dynamic mode do and is it different to the Dynamic mode switch on 4x4 panel?
I have the dynamic mode switch which I use in the 4x4 settings, gives you a much more exhilarating drive,
but presume this dynamic mode you are talking about, is something completely different? Thanks. John
