Why the prestige over the pure?

The same goes for cars. Thats why all Rangerovers are HSE.

As it's been said before, a loaded up Pure is £3500 cheaper than a Prestige. But without electric seats & better leather.

I guess it's all down to the badge on the back of your new car (£3.49)......

Is there a different badge? I hadn't noticed!

I see you've gone for Orkney which is my current thining - have you seen any decent photos of it on the Evoque?

The Pure badge is outlined in black, Prestige fully chrome & Dynamic outlined in red.

Not if you don't like the Dynamic !!

Personally I'm not a fan of the Dynamic interior however I think it's easier to justify the extra cost on the Dynamic than it is on the Prestige.

By the way does anyone know where I could find a side by side comparison table of the standard equipment on the Pure, Prestige and Dynamic?

I'm in two minds between Pure and Prestige.

While I fully appreciate the differences with the Dynamic I'm struggling a bit to see why I'd order a Prestige over a Pure other than on colour choices for the interior. I'm probably going for Cirrus or Black so thats not an issue for me.

When I spec my options there is about £5100 uplift for the Prestige and while I agree the leather is nicer I'd put no more than £500 value on it.

My spec is 5 dr Pure SD4 Auto (£31315) + metallic (£550) + Panoramic (£460) + Style 4 wheels (£450) + tech pack (£1900) + front fogs (£205) = £34880.

The 5 dr Prestige SD4 Auto base price is (£38,990) and I don't think there are any options I'd add to it.

So apart from the nicer leather and leather on the dash upper - what other features are leading you to the prestige?

You cannot order certin options with the Pure (adaptive dynamics, ad. Xenons, blind spot monitoring, i think the premium Meridian sound system that is 800W)...

Of course the dealer will advise to avoid Pure. He will get more cash if you go for a Prestige/Dynamic....

Also, Pure build starts later that Prestige and Dynamic......so many that placed deposits don't want to wait for Pure build....

My dealer advised me to go Pure with style pck. Probably being afraid he will lose me alltogether with just basic pure (too basic in my country) and the prestige/dynamic being way too epxensive for our market...

If it's not on the website, your dealer will be able to supply it to you like mine did me on paper sheets. They have a folder with all that in.

In the UK we can order all those on the Pure except the adaptive dynamics

I have mentioned this before elsewhere but just to re- cap as I wanted all the options that are standard on a Prestige I thought I would order a Pure with all those options and save myself £1,900 over the equivalent Prestige - however after going to the Evoque live I felt the Prestige was more of a model in its own right and therefore changed my order. I still don't think the Prestige is good value per se - but I prefer the total Prestige package. ..... and in my particular circumstance a Prestige will retain a higher percentage of its original purchase price than my initial order of a fully loaded Pure.

Blackseries, that was the thread I was talking about. Difference is 2k if you go all out on options and on that basis I'd have the prestige every time.
