They are still having issues apparently - when you eventually are able to choose one of the new engines you will see that Carp is not available...

You were right again... And also about the P380 being removed. I wonder if that's just UK or other markets too. I personally wouldn't take it with anything less than the P380 since no V8 option until the SVR. I wonder if LR's strategy is to get the high spec price down since so many people complained about it being "overpriced". Not that I care anymore as I only have 2 weeks left with mine. New SVR scheduled for pick up on the 25th!

And why remove such a popular colour like Carpathian. I thought the Velar looked good with it, especially with the 22 inch wheels. I actually wanted it for my SVR but it wasn't an option. 2018 Range Rover Sport SVR – Bosphorus Grey

One new feature we can expect on the MY19 RRS is steering assist - this works in conjunction with the radar cruise control but also controls the steering wheel bringing you back in to lane if you drift....not sure if this is an equivalent of Volvo's self drive capability...time will tell.

I also think this may be programmable in to MY18 cars as it probably uses the same radars and cameras etc doubt any hardware differences....

That’s already an option, had it on my car before it went back. Was around £500 and also Stopped you changing lanes if there was a car in your blind spot.

Didn’t get much chance to try it out but on back roads it was bloody annoying as kept trying to correct the steering while cornering...

This one seamed to? You put the adaptive cruise on and it kept you in the lane? Wasn’t as good as the Volvo / Tesla type systems though so maybe it’s a new version you know about?

Yeah the current system in my D300 First edition doesn't keep you in the centre of the lane, it just steers you violently back the other way if you hit a lane barrier.

Beyond that, air suspension, adaptive dynamics & radar based high speed braking the 18MY Velars all have, don't they? Or is the high speed braking an evolution of the MY18 AEB?

Is there anything else I've missed?

I'm guessing RRS/RR will be imminently announced then?

Not sure when it will be announced but should be soon...I wouldnt be too fussed with the new updates they would be minor and I think there may be price increases too
