Blind Spot Monitoring System

Were kind of different in the US sometimes not in a good way. Like we don't have parking assist but a parking warning instead. Won't mind owning a diesel

As a previous reply states they use radar to detect overtaking vehicles, however what you may think is the system getting confused could be that it uses a predictive system, so that something not yet in your blind spot but heading for it will trigger the warning lights.

Hopefully when my Evoque will come in Feb/March (fingers crossed) it will have it as I tend to like this system.

The (at least US version) Vision Assist package for the Dynamic 5 door now includes the Blind Spot Monitoring. Initially this feature was only available on Coupes.

Vision Assist Package

Package includes:
Headlamps - Automatic Adaptive Xenon HID with LED signature lighting
Automatic headlamp leveling

Surround Camera System with Towing Assist
Blind Spot Monitoring

My newly built Dynamic has it listed on TOPIx too Chances are it's not a mistake.

my 5dr dynamic lists blind spot monitoring on TOPIx as well.

Cool. Our cars are due just about at the same time. Hopefully they won't disappoint us.

hopefully not. i've got my fingers crossed that i'll have mine in about 2 weeks -- my dealer called 2 weeks ago to let me know mine was built and they expected to deliver it to me by feb. 12. getting close!

Please post here when your cars arrive. My 5 door won't be here until March or April, but I'm also hoping it will have the Blind Spot Monitors when it comes in.

yep, i will too.

I drove by my Land Rover Dealer today and found that they had just received three new 5 door Evoques. There were two Dynamic models and one Prestige. All three had the Blind Spot Monitoring System. All of them also had a $450 charge on the window sticker for the system. I wonder if the dealers will charge us extra for the system or if they will include it in the original price. I'll give my salesman a call this week.
