    2019 Discovery SDV6 HSE Lux Carpathian Grey

    Loire Blue interior options

    We are in the final stages of speccing our Discovery HSE Luxury Cool

    Pretty much decided on Loire Blue, but it's very difficult to choose between the interior colours.

    Glacier seems a nice option, but not sure if it will feel a little cold.

    Light Oyster good too but unsure about brown carpets.

    Leaving vintage tan, does that appear too orange?

    Any opinions or interior pics in varying lights appreciated Smile Doesn't have to be against a LB exterior.

    I have some pics and will try later as get an error uploading the files... I have the ‘orange’ leather. Although I was told it’s the same color as in the jags, it seems a whole less orange in my car (at dealer had only seen it in a jaguar).

    Exterior is silicon silver, but with tinted windows who cares about combination in vs outside... I didn’t Wink

    Here you go: the leather does get stained from jeans etc, added a detail pic as well from the drivers seat:

    I do think however that the inlets you choose make a big difference... we ordered ‘charcoal black’ but got ‘brown’.

    I still don’t like this color combo and if someone would have the combination vintage leather with charcoal inlets, would love to see a picture from that!

    Here a pic from our D4, if that color would have been an option, we would have opted for this again, but not available in our market, maybe in yours, no idea.

    I’ve gone with a Loire blue HSE.
    Black seats
    Ebony/ black headlining.
    I’m not a fan of wood so have gone with the dark satin brushed aluminium trim

    I would’ve loved to go with the vintage tan leather as I think that compliments/contrasts the blue really nicely. Vintage tan only available on Windsor seats though, so not available on my build.

    Either black or vintage tan don’t forget the headlining and trim options or you’ll kick yourself.

    Labbix - thanks so much, your wide range of pictures is just what I am looking for. I am ok with the jeans marking the seats - have spent almost 3 years in a BMW with oyster leather. Dr Leather wipes often needed and just the ticket!

    Yes, we'd go charcoal black with this trim or maybe the satin aluminium.

    That's interesting...Windsor is standard on the HSE in the UK.

    'Don't forget the headlining' - this means that the light headlining doesn't work with vintage tan, right? My dealer keeps telling me to go for black headlining. I've only sat in black leather cars, one with light headkining, one with dark. The light car lacked the sunroofs (SE), so the light colour there was a much needed relief.

    For the inlets I would love to see some pics as well for the combo:

    - vintage with charcoal black
    - vintage with satin aluminum

    As I might swap my MY18 for a MY20 later this year.

    And specs differences are indeed huge between different markets!

    Yes quite a bit of difference between UK and AUS standard specs.
    Eg Windsor seats only standard on HSE luxury
    Also in aus standard roof is no sunroof. (Not a problem for me as I’m going to put on front runner slim line 2 racks so that would block most of the roof windows anyhow)

    My preference would be vintage tan with the black (for dash and door sides) plus the black headlining. The pics above show the light headlining, that’s just not my preference. I think extending the black over the top looks better.

    I’m sure you’ve used the online build tool that will let you play with all the leather and trim options.

    Must say I’ve hesitated a while between the light and dark headlining, but the wife said that all black would make the interior feel smaller and she likes the more spacious feeling.

    After all it was she that wanted a D5, so no room for discussion left for me Wink

    Imagine her face and looks when she saw it had brown inlets and not the charcoal ones as per order...

    The light headlining is tempting for the airiness. If black wasn't a cost option perhaps I'd take it though, which probably tells me what my preference is if i ignore my wallet!

    It’s interesting I’ve never thought about the black headlining till the sales person suggested it.

    My current car which I’m trading in for the D5 is all black interior except for light headlining.
    Since I’ve known that black headlining is a thing I can’t help but look at it and think, that would look so much better in black.

    If you able to visit some other Land Rover dealerships and see if you can see it in person with some different colour options, hopefully one of them might have the black headlining for you to compare.

    When your dropping 6 figures on a new car, get exactly what you want for what you’re willing to spend
    I’ve done that with my build, the downside being I ordered back in November and my delivery is now not till late May.
