Dynamic with light interior ( Ambience or Element)

It seems like I’m not the only one that likes the look of the Dynamic version externally but would like a light coloured interior like Ambience or Element (I’m just fed up with black interiors!) When the dealer places the order for a car there is one code for the model i.e. Dynamic and one code of the interior. As Ambience or Element codes already exist it shouldn’t be too much of an issue to create the car using the two existing codes.

I would like to see some of the Dynamic interiors in the Prestige. Or more combinations of lighter colours. Right now you have have Ivory with Espresso, or Light grey with Ebony, etc. Would like to see Almond with Ebony etc.

Cheers

The problem when you order it is not the order codes but the computerised comfigurator that dealers will be using - it will be set up so that a Dynamic can only be ordered with the colour combos that the computer is programmed with.

According to the info I have the Dynamic is available with interiors called Vortex (Ebony/ebony), Verve (ebony/Pimento), Energy (Savannah/Lunar) or Pursuit (Lunar/Ivory) - to me Savannah would be brownish or tan but it is pale green by the look of it! and Lunar is dove grey so there are 2 lighter interiors available for the Dynamic - it is only the Plus pack interior that is limited to Velocity (Black/Black) or Agility (Ebony/Pimento) - take a look at some of the pics on the LR website were you can sort of build your car and you will see these colour schemes.
I have an all ivory with ebony piping interior at the moment - never ever again - looks beautiful, but it's a nightmare to keep clean!

I hope (if there's enough demand) to get them to change what the computer will allow – I’ve managed it before with VW & Mercedes

This colour combo is primarily designed to go with Colima Lime (yes its green!) It was on the show car at Geneva. The Luna it comes with is very dark grey. I'm sure if you asked the man in street what colour it was most would say black. It’s not until you see it next to a black interior that you realise it’s not quite that dark .. but from what I’ve seen at Paris & Geneva Lunar is not what you would call a light colour.

This is really the only light-ish interior in the Dynamic - but in reality when you are sitting in the car (ie on the white bits of the seats) everything you will be looking at will be very dark grey – not what I would consider a typical Range Rover interior.

I appreciate light interiors are difficult to keep clean but I used to have a FFRRSC with ivory interior and after a good valet it always looked a million dollars - I was always amazed how good it looked. I probably won’t be using the Evoque to take stuff down to the tip...... so it should get quite a gentle life.

Just noticed at 18 - 20 seconds in, a Dynamic Plus interior in Ivory. That would have been my ideal choice.

It would be great to be able to order any combination of interior and accessories, but manufacturers need to be able to build/deliver vehicles in the most efficient manor they can. Buyers are basically fickle and if they can't purchase what they want in a relative short period of time they move on to something else and the sale is lost. This is why the manufacturer decides what goes with what; to try and shorten the logistics chain. They make these decisions based on past sales data, buyer feedback, and study groups.

There will always be small numbers of buyers that wish they could get another combination from the available range, and some manufacturers offer a customisation service to satisfy them.

Me too - I love those seats but I don't want a red or black interior and I don't want grained or perforated leather, so I've ordered Prestige with Ambience. Wish I could get those Dynamic Plus seats though.
