Ed4 part leather only interior ???? - Jonathon555 - 25-04-2012 09:58pm
Just been reading this auto express review , it says ed4 part leather only.
I thought full leather was standard or has it changed ?

My eD4 has full leather seats, that came as standard.
The lights are also fine, just as good as my last car.

AE many have one of the launch fleet cars, they all had weird specifications that didn't match up to anything that went into production

Looks gorgeous in Mauritius Blue too!
I like the half leather - its probably Alcantara a synthetic suede which is nicer to sit on in hot weather than full leather, I wonder if that will be a 2013 option?
Halogen headlamps vs Xenon - its one of those things that once experienced you can't go back, most pre-focussed/fish eye halogen headlamp set ups are, bluntly, very poor. In the RRE's case you don't get the 'signature' headlamp DRLs on the halogens either - it's an absolute must have. If I were you I'd ditch the privacy glass (you can always get it done later) and the auto lights/wipers and get the Xenons, you will regret it otherwise.

You would have expected a motor journalist to at least read the brochure for the car. Before writing a misleading review.

Mine has full leather and not an option

In the comments at the bottom of the AE article there are 5 comments posted and AE has replied to the one about half leather stating that the car does come with half leather, but the configurator (and I appreciate the LR "build you car" thingy isn't always 100% correct!) doesn't mention half leather on an eD4 Pure if you try to spec one, half leather isn't even an option, all Evoques to UK spec get full leather seat facings.

In Belgium every Pure model (eD4 or not) comes standard with part leather iirc. Full leather is option.
