A DS yuk
When I bought my D5 SE 17MY it was a tad under £54k for the 3.0. 18MY exact same spec, and fog lights now have to be added plus I would take the digital dash it’s over £57k  I suppose I can’t really complain as my Velar was more expensive  23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

Hi,
well we had a 3.0 HSE that had a load of extras as well 8) but think it was many £££££
Inside was very much like our RRS (MY16) seats nice with electric everyway adjustment, really like the head rests  would like them on ours
ICE satnav ect all quicker to use but the radio reception was rubbish constant interference across stations and the satnav had an odd stammer announcing left turns
"take the next L Left" it happened a number of times
Engine pulls very well  certainly picks up the door handles and goes when you want to overtake.
although fuel economy was showing worse than our RRS (306hp) and we did about 150 miles
you still can not knock the load area when the seats are all down (all done by electrickery) nice and flat, found it out by mistake while driving (well swmbo did) although the shopping that WAS on the back seats is now a bit flatter.
again comparing to our RRS the ride on the 275/45/21 was good, did have a bit more roll and not as firm but seemed about the same absorbing the bumps/hotholes
Neither of us a fan of the Black paint and chrome mirror caps  but did like the Ivory trimmed orange leather, that was until we saw the black leather trimmed white in the showroom, yes like that combo.
Prefer the stubby gearstick to the dial but expect its just what you get used to.
Are we going to swop  well no, it did not make us Want it but next year if we need more room then it would be on the short list.

Volvo? Skoda? - dont really want to move away from LR but may have to, as dont really want a DSport, and everything else is more expensive than a D5.

I liked the look of the XC90 but after going into dealers on a number of occasions and not getting any intrest from sales people decided a no go. Aso found that the support offred from Volvo when thimgs go wrong and they do is poor, in a freinds words "No f***** support " Final nail in the cofin was i saw one last week with back axle totally ripped out, it had been in a 20 mph bump with a Picasso. the Picasso had a wheel ripped off but could not belive the state of the Volvo XC90 MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

Well tried to look at a Ford Ranger, Got moaned at for abandoning my D4 in their car park by a sales man, stated that car park was full and looking for a Ranger, Said wasn't his problem. Then asked if I was looking for business or residential, said wasn't sure yet and then sent me off.
Thats that ticked off the list!
Volvo XC90 or D5 will be the choice I think. MY2023 Discovery 5 R-Dynamic 3.0

Pretty much my experience, the Volvo dealer couldn’t really care whether I bought one or not and wouldn’t allow me to take one on a 24Hr test drive, 2 hours supervised that was it. 23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green
