I have the Dynamic but there does not appear to be a "Plus Package" in the USA for that model (Models for 2013 here are "Pure"; "Pure Plus"; "Prestige" and "Dynamic"). Looks like the dash top is recycled. It has black wood trim with brushed aluminum. Though it does say "CONSOLE TOP PLATE-LEATHER." I presume that means the arm rest/storage thing? Perf lunar leather.

Can highly recomend gTechniq C6 Matt dash on the synthetic dash finish, doesnt change the look, gives extra UV protection, and stops marks and even dust. And if you need more than just a damp microfibre to clean then a weak gWash solution should do with a microfibre cloth.

My suspicions were right... We are driving a very expensive milk cart...Very Happy

Got mine : Dynamic Fuji White with Lux Pack and black contrast roof.
Optional extras : Privacy glass, Heated steering wheel and TPMS.

It's made from recycled 1.5ltr soft drinks and mineral water bottles, same as Polarfleece jackets are.
Scannel, you would know if you had the Plus pack seats, you would have paid nigh on $7000 more for the privilege and you would have high backed "Recaro" rally style seats like these

Those seats are not avail in the US and there is no "Plus" package here for the Dynamic (for 2013 anyway). The only upgrades are Magnetic Suspension; Park assist; Rear entertainment; Satellite Radio; climate comfort. The "Gloss Black Strada" is an interior option with black wood accents replacing metal accents. And, of course, different wheels and top colors. Everything else is standard. I was surprised by the differences on the "build it yourself" segment of the UK site. Here, the Dynamic is seen as a "sports" model.

Look, Americans like simple packages: There are currently four "version" avail in 5 door: Pure; Pure Plus; Prestige; Dynamic; There are two "versions" in the Coupe: Pure Plus, and Dynamic. But they all have AWD, all have automatic and all have the same 2.0 gasoline engine. Again, because the Dynamic is being positioned as the "sports car", it's the only one you can get with Magnetic suspension

I love the shape of the Plus pack seats but cannot believe how badly upholstered they are for the money. There is no excuse for sagging leather as shown here. The standard of upholstery in my car is shameful too.

Either that or a damp microfiber cloth

That photo was taken the day before the car was delivered, it was in the prepping bay exactly two years ago today and apart from the person who drove the car onto the transporter and the person who drove it off at LPR nobody else had sat in them. They look exactly the same 20000 miles and two years later. The driver weight loading on them has decreased by 30kg in that time a s I am now a shadow of my former self!

There's me thinking that xfullfat was because you had the big range rover before the Evoque Embarrassed
