| Price hike on new Discoverys |
|
Ok, maybe a bit much to call it a price hike, but the base Graphite cost £47,495 in March and now costs £47,505. A £10 hike, which happens to be the increase in the first year tax rate which came in to effect on 1st April. I wonder what happens to my car ordered in March but scheduled for delivery in May...

Just had a quick look at the build options on the LR website and it seems that some of the options have have gone - no more heated steering wheel on the graphite!

That's interesting.... I hope my Graphite comes with the heated steering wheel I ordered. Perhaps this is a sign of LR winding down stock.

Remote park heating seems to be off the menu too.
I checked with the dealer and my Graphite order complete with heated steering wheel is saying confirmed, so he is confident all will be ok.

Electric seats are no longer an option on the Graphite, which means no arm rest either.

I'd say the D4 builds are due to stop before the end of the year, but it all depends on where the new production line is going to be in the Solihull plant. Looking on Google Maps there is a fair amount of expansion going on there, buildings wise!
I guess the D5 will be launched early next year.....
