Interior Quality

Found some real close up pics of the 'soft touch' stuff LR have covering the instrument panel on the non Prestige cars.

First up, Pure with Cirrus/Lunar

   

Dynamic, Verve

   

   

Dynamic, Energy

   

Dynamic Plus

   
Can't quite remember which car had the textured leather?

   

Current: SD4 Dynamic Auto, 5 Door, Orkney Grey with Black Contrast Pano roof and 20" Shadow Chrome wheels. Pursuit interior. [countdown="Hand over"]15th June 2013 2:00pm[/countdown]

Gone: Si4 Prestige Auto Coupe, Orkney Grey with Panoramic Roof, Element interior, Shadow Chrome 20" wheels with most of the bits & pieces loaded. [countdown="Hand over"]29th November 2011 2:00pm[/countdown]

RE: Interior Quality

Great Pictures .... they show the differences very well.

Remember you can upgrade this element for under £600 - (this includes both sides of the dashboard). So if you like the "Dynamic Plus" dashboard but don't want / need / like / afford the "Plus" seats this is an alternative. Just so you know........

Yes, I don't think the dash covering in the dynamic is great, it's a sort of rubberised cloth. Judging by the wonky stitching, looks like they are having trouble working with it. The material is probably good for its type but it's a bit agricultural. Good to know you can have it changed. Does that £600 include fitting and VAT?

RE: Interior Quality

Dynamic Plus has stitched Oxford leather for the dash topper and the midsection not the "soft touch material". It also has glossy Black trim finisher on the dash where the Prestige has polished wood-a-alike. The dash of the OG Dynamic I drove at the Unleashed event was OK, didn't look too much like 1970's Japanese fake leather. My FFRR doesn't have real leather on the dash, but it is very very hard to tell it isn't leather the quality and finish is so good
The last of Berlin's photos above is the Pure fake leather finish

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

That includes VAT but not fitting. It LOOKS like its the last thing to go on the dash so it should be a pretty straight forward job - but don't quote me.
When I was trying to talk myself into a Black interior this is what I came up with. I thought the Dynamic Plus interior a bit to OTT just to get an Oxford leather dashboard..... plus I think the look suggests a level of performance the current engines don't deliver.

All FFRR (MY10 onwards) have a leather dash topper Tim Smile

I like the textured 'leather' look above!

I so agree - the sports seats remind of those humble hatches you see on lowered suspension and huge exhaust pipes. Too much mouth and not enough trousers. I'm banking on the Dynamic dash being "OK", would prefer not to have to go rooting in the parts bin.
