    MY 2018 on website - digital dash?


    Hi All, just looking at LR website and was reading on Discovery pages and it looks as if some of the pictures relates to MY 18. If you look at bottom right picture on the attachment, to me, this is completely different from the car I test drove and what I've seen elsewhere. Now have a dilemma - my car is still on order with build date of first week in Oct. so do I cancel (not sure if I lose the deposit), ask to delay build or just go with the current - can't tell if the price has increased as the configurator is still set to MY 17 from the pictures! Any advice?

    Hi I am in the same boat, due out of build in the next week or two. What engine have you ordered? I am less concerned with missing out on the digital dash and more worried about the oil dilution issues with the 3.0L diesel. I am thinking I will cancel my order on Monday and see if the new MY brings any solutions. If the dealer kicks up about the deposit I will quote the LR literature admitting to the problem and I'm pretty sure my deposit will be returned - or at least held over for any new order when the full details of the MY18 are available. You are probably right to worry about the price though, I can't see it going down!

    Deposits are refundable or transferable. They are with my dealer anyway.

    If you look on the Discovery web site, the 'Overview' section seems to have been updated with MY18 stuff. Seems like all models now get the 10" touchscreen, as J77 said, digital dash on HSE up and a new petrol engine, oh and a minimum £2k price uplift!

    Try this: https://www.landrover.co.uk/vehicles/discovery/hse/index.html

    If you go to the main LR site, select Discovery and then hit the overview tab, initially it shows the old site but if you select a model type (eg. SE; HSE etc) then it shows what must be the MY18 features including the new Petrol 2.0L engine.

    2017 Discovery Td6 HSE Lux Loire Blue

    How exciting! I ordered my HSE Lux last week for planned delivery in Jan and this is the first I have heard of a digital dash upgrade. The salesman didnt mention it after my test drive or when going through and speccing up the car.

    I must admit that i was surprised when I first saw a D5 in the flesh that the dash wasnt fully digital.

    Following on from my post above, I called the dealer for a progress update and the car is still sitting in the build pool at present and hasn't been called forward to a build slot. Mine is definitely a MY18 at the the price ordered and the salesman had no idea about a TFT dash, even after I mention the pics on the LR website.

    Digital dash

    I found this page while searching the discovery 5 pages it shows and list the options avaiable on the digital dash. I hope I am not retelling an historic story.

    https://www.landrover.co.uk/vehicles/disco...TWEALw_wcB

    Just tried it and it’s not there, the next time it is oh dear, even the web site is not simple.

    Just found it, the words”INTERACTIVE DRIVER DISPLAY

    The 12.3" high-definition Interactive Driver Display can receive and project driving information, entertainment and active safety data including navigation, phone and media. Optional on S and SE. Standard on HSE and HSE Luxury.

    I ordered a 5 a month ago, I have a build slot that exp3cts delivery to dealer mid January.
