just had a look at the UK site: the two base models (SE & SE Dynamic) don't get rear-sheel steering, only Autobigraphy and First Edition get it.

Not even that. Only the P530 and P510e get 4 wheel steering. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

^ oh, sorry, there's some sort of bug on the build site, the price was not updating while I was building

I don't get why you can spec the transfer case, but not the active rear diff, as you used to be able to do on the L494, L462, L405,& L663.

I look at it and I see a D350 RRS at £98k or a D300 FFRR for £99k. And I wonder which would I buy if I had the money. And the answer is the Full Fat. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

I guess they want to keep some spec differences between the top end and the rest. To be honest, it's often said that the locking rear diff is a "nice to have" item. Neither of mine have had it and I've never got stuck yet - nearly, but not quite. Low range, on the other hand, is an essential for me in any vehicle that claims to be off road capable. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Interesting: on the ZA website, you can spec a 'Stormer Handling Pack' on any model, even the base one.

This includes:
Electronic Active Differential with Torque Vectoring by Braking
All Wheel Steering
Configurable Programs
Dynamic Air Suspension with Dynamic Response Pro


So the ZA build is very different from the UK one, I can spec a base model with the off-road goodies separately: https://build.landrover/A6DCD096

No pricing yet, and only the D350 & P510e available on the build site. --

I've just 'built' a P440e SE and can get nice well equipped car for £87,680.00 or a P400 Se Dynamic for £92,120.00. Quite a price increase over my present P400 which was around £72k 2 1/2 years ago.

Maybe the new design will grow on me with time but I actually prefer the look of the L494. Out of the new FFRR and new RRS I think they’ve done a much better job with the FFRR.

I also much prefer the front lower bumper on the lower-spec models, the one of the Dynamic & above looks to be too much of a a scoop when off-roading

this is better

I read somewhere that the Yanks get 4-wheel steer on all of their vehicles. Quite why you need it in the US is beyond me - even in town/city their roads are wide and there's plenty of room. In rural areas, the roads are basically straight. Laughing 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
