It's a fop to the ecomentalists, apparently by only driving the front two wheels you save a tree a year and use a timbleful of fuel less a year. All the Jap/ Korean makers are flogging 2WD versions of their SUV's and apparently they are selling rather well but I can just see folk's reaction in the first deep snow after they buy their 2WD Evoque - it will be posted all over the internet how useless these modern Land Rovers are in the snow when the going gets a little tough, when the owner has forgotten they couldn't afford the 4wd version. I remember when RRSport was launched, some silly tw*t drove their Supercharged on 20" M&S Tyres straight off Chelsea High Street and down onto the muddy foreshore of the Thames at low tide...... and it ended up being marked by a wreck marking buoy and the driver being rescued through the sunroof hole by the RNLI when the tide came back in and he couldn't get it off the foreshore.................. RRS is superb offroad in the right conditions with the right tyres but this loony took his straight out of the showroom on motorway crunching tyres not mud tyres, he also forgot that 2.8tonnes of steel sinks into mud quite quickly

I experienced the same with my Ford Kuga 4WD. Loads of people in the 2WD version complaining that their cars were rubbish in the snow..... How on earth do they think 2WD will be any better than anything else 2WD in the snow... It's a nonsense. If you don't wan't a 4WD, don't buy a Land Rover. That's my opinion....

Whilst looking for the source of these prices I came across an Austrian Coupe & 5 Door brochure. At 13 pages it has a bit more info than the original 3 door one.

Interesting stuff includes a list of options (no prices)

-Parking assistant for automated parallel parking
-Blind spot monitoring system
-"Surround" camera system with five digital cameras, including reverse system
-Dual-zone automatic air conditioning with programmable heater
-Hard Drive Navigation system with off-road navigation
-DAB-/UKW-/MW-/Sirius-Empfänger with virtual 10-CD changer to the hard disk digital and Satellite TV reception and DVD playback
- Entertainment system in the rear with 8-inch screens, wireless headphones and touch-screen remote control
- Keyless entry system and power tailgate
- Adaptive headlights with auto-dimming
- Heating for front seats and steering wheel

The brochure also contains fuel consumption figures. I think the combined consumption of 46mpg on the SD4 Auto is pretty good. With 38mpg probably realistically achievable.

Thank you for the links.

Also on the list I have seen is Park Heat (have it on my FFRR and in the winter it is a brilliant and worthwhile option and in the summer you can also use it to pre-cool the cabin with the aircon) and heated steering wheel (even better option while the Park Heat takes a while to have any effect!).
Oppps I see rereading the list above both are on the options list, can highly recommend them both if your car has to sit outside on the drive in the winter.

I have a heated steering wheel on my RRSC - it may seem like the most superfluous option but on the recent cold mornings (-17oc) I thought every car should have it as standard!

Park heat and the heated steering wheel are a bit like having the quick clear front screen - once you have had them you don't know how you survived without them on cold mornings!! Seat heaters and the heated steering wheel actual render park heat a bit superfluous except that Park Heat does help the engine warm up more quickly.
