Discovery Sport Infotainment
Discussion
I'm considering a DS HSE Luxury 2015/16/17. It appears that there was a mild enhancement to the infotainment as far as the main screen and driver's info panel are concerned.
I would be grateful if anyone can advise what the upgrade was & roughly when it came on stream.
I'm aware that JLR technology was not leading edge in this period (I'm currently in a 2013 XF) but lockdown man-maths are kicking in & I'm wondering how far I should stretch my budget for a needless change when we are allowed out again.
Thanks for your help!

Interesting comments about the engines. The use of my daily is very mixed - perhaps more so than most. In normal times there is no commuting & general supermarket & tip runs but...two or three round trips every year in all seasons to the Jura (1500 to 2000 miles each including journeys whilst there). It seems I won't be able to win whichever option I take!
I think that the best option is to take some test drives when I am allowed. Drawn to higher spec for the panoramic roof (not a fan of dark interiors, I appreciate that the roof doesn't open) & one or two other goodies.
Very drawn to LR because my late father owned at least four Freelanders and they served him well in a variety of uses.
Thanks for all responses - much appreciated.

Update to an old thread that I started many months ago.
On Saturday I took delivery of a 2016 66 DS HSE Luxury from a Hampshire independent with just >69k miles.
HSE Luxury models are scarce at the moment & ideally I would have preferred to buy from a franchised dealer.
Mine is in Aintree Green (quite rare but in the current sunlight the metallic particles make it look special).
Still trying to establish the options because the advert included some features that it doesn't have (full sized spare) but didn't take into account the electrically deployable tow bar. It has active cruise control, the vision assist pack, traffic sign awareness. It doesn't have the wide screen display that I was hoping for & I have compromised on an Ebony interior (ideally was hoping for a lighter colour)
It also came with a good condition luggage/dog guard which I don't need (PM me if you are interested - I'm in the Bristol area).
Looking forward to getting some miles in & seeing how it acquits itself on longer journeys.
