Looks great but I'm a bit anxious by what looks like to be a dated interior
How is it dated, apart from using the "old" ICE system? To me it looks cleaner and like a nicer place to spend time than a lot of new cars. - Some of the competition are going through a period of fussy, messy interiors.Clivey said:

How is it dated, apart from using the "old" ICE system? To me it looks cleaner and like a nicer place to spend time than a lot of new cars. - Some of the competition are going through a period of fussy, messy interiors.I have to say, after trying just about every 4x4 and Estate out there over the last couple of months it actually came down to a Disco Sport or X3 (which was the biggest surprise).
I loved the Evoque to drive but find it too blingy in design for me, and really enjoyed the Freelander but couldn't buy a discontinued model, so decided to wait and see the Disco Sport.
However, after reading a few tests which are saying the X3 is still better and feels far plusher interior wise, I have decided to go with an X3 for now and see what the new engine brings in the Disco Sport next year.
I really like it, think it will sell very well too.

It seems odd to me that they launch with the old engine so everyone says "wait for the new engine in 6 months". I wonder how much better the new engine will be? LR could do with getting on terms with BMW in the engine department, but that's not easy.
Need to be on par at least with Volvo not BMW. Whilst the interior is not as plush as the Evoque it was never meant to be. It is a faithful evolution of the LR FL2 IMHO , sort of semi rugged but has quality too, the one I sat in was actually quite nice in an unfussy way. And certainly well put together.
However I quite like the more wrap around of the Evoque style than the slab fronted DS.

like it but interior looks cheap from the pics
And it looks cheap in real life too, unfortunately.Not really bad, by any means, but certainly in the context of the serious price hike over the Freelander.
One can easily see that the architecture under the dash is identical to the Freelander, with just a couple of superficial attempts to make it more premium. I think they failed.
Pity, I was really looking forward to it...

Guess that the risk of giving this the styling queues of the Range Rover Sport and FF is that there is an expectation of a more premium interior than the Freelander range was ever about?
The interior is okay for the place the car occupies in the range. But it doesn't match the exterior promise at all. Really silly mistake, because Audi sell a lot of cars by the look and feel of their interiors. A lot of people will still buy a Q3/Q5 because of this I think.
