Mine shows the Range Rover name in the corporate script. A bit kitsch but fun. Oddly cool as the mirrors unfold.

Considering McGovern’s in charge, that’s a refreshingly short list of design cock ups! Thumbs Up

Looking at the brochure, the new electric seat switches on the doors are very impressive looking. However, their ergonomics should be ideal for anyone that happens to have their fingers mounted the wrong way around! (Doesn’t anyone ever test this stuff before putting it into production?!)

I think they are back for MY 19 Wink just after everyone has held on to buy the MY18 - they need an incentive to keep us buying new vehicles 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

Are you sure that the winged headrests have been discontinued?
Haven't seen that winged headrests have been mentioned as features in the MY18 descriptions, but haven't seen that the MY18 won't have them either Question

Winged headrests are standard on the MY18 Autobiography. They're a new design but they are definitely winged as mentioned on Land Rover's website under vehicle description.

Can you provide a link to where it says this, or any photograph of the actual thing?

The photos on the UK configurator show exactly the same, pretty basic looking, head restraints, irrespective of whether it’s a Vogue, or an AB Confused

panic over.

if you look in the information about the seats on configurator it states manual winged headrests with Rear Entertainment, looks like electric without unless i have read it wrong of course



I do like the new dual screen, i just hope it does what it is supposed to do.

I think you've got it there - it only comes with the additional "hang off the back of the seat" screens, which seems perverse. Hardly anyone bought those last time and I chose the more discreet RSE option.

I'd need to pay £2,500 for sticky out screens that I didn't want and do without the built in RSE that I really need, to get the winged restraints that used to come as standard?!... So glad that I didn't wait! Thumbs Up
