No different to any other of the Terrain Response functions. Dynamic mode doesn't do anything to the engine/gearbox it only remaps the suspension and steering. However if you turn the gear selector to S then you would notice a BIG difference as the gearbox holds on right to the rev limiter or your mechanical sympathy cuts in and you pull the + paddle and shift up a gear!

Cheers Tim, so with your experience, would it be best to leave it in dynamic mode??

Most folks say that they cannot feel any difference in the suspension firmness, but the car does corner a little flatter than in normal setting. The electric power assistance on the steering firms up too - and not to forget the dash board lighting turns from white to red! I use the Dynamic setting on twisty country roads and long motorway hauls, in normal driving it depends if I want to drive in a spirited manner or not. According to LR the suspension setting in Dynamic adjusts 1000 times a second or something - basically what it does is adjust the current going to the Magneride strut system to adjust the ride to keep the car comfy but flat. I drive most of the time in the normal setting.

If you like to look at a naff red instrument binnacle all the time go for it!

I would have preferred a configurable TFT flatscreen dash like I had the FFRR that preceeded my Evoque, especially seeing as the Evoque is such a hi-tech car. It's not that I don't like the red dash, I think its a bit "low rent" and "Max Power"

Yeah Standard mode (Special modes off) is perfect for normal driving, and the Adaptive dampers work in all modes, they just create a different effect. I only use Driving mode when pushing on or going round fast country lanes, otherwise it's too stiff.

Just been going through the configured vehicle spec of my new Dynamic SD4 that my dealer gave me a copy off and under the standard and included features, it says it will be fitted with the efficient drive line. I thought this was only going to be fitted to the si4 to begin with???

My order also has this on it and I couldn't figure it out either!
