Hi all,

Already got a 2024 P400 HSE Range Rover Sport which we're happy with; looking for another SUV for around £50k.

Velar looks interesting - as far as I can see, the new 'facelift' primarily consists of them adding the Pivi Pro infotainment system. We have this in the Sport and it's fine, but nothing special (i.e. I don't think we'd miss it, unless the one in the pre-facelift model is completely pants).

Couple of Qs:

a. Am I missing something in the 23/24 facelift that is appreciably different from the previous iteration?

b. Along the same lines, is it really worth the extra $$$ on the facelift model? For example:

Pre-facelift 2022 (71 reg) P400 R-Dynamic HSE - 14k miles - £52k

vs

Facelift 2023 (23 reg) P250 Dynamic HSE - 1,700 miles - £61k

You could look at this two ways.
More appealing to thieves because it’s a new face lift model and would get a higher premium overseas.
Less appealing as not so many broken down models requiring spares.
