Although they aren’t as colourful and flamboyant as Mercedes or BMW systems, it does clear fonts and large touchpoints for all the key touch-related functions, which is always a good thing while driving. In fact, with the new cabin redesign like on other Land Rover models, the physical button count is down to three.

Sure the door panel does have essentials like window switches and memory seat presets but on that dash and centre console, virtually everything has been moved to the Pivi Pro infotainment system.
3D surround view camera, air filter with comprehensive monitoring, parking aids, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and the brilliant ClearSight interior rear-view camera are all great gadgets to have and you can get used to them rapidly. Even the Meridian audio system, while not the higher ‘3D’ or ‘Signature’ variety, sounds amazing, with angled tweeters on the A-pillar that precisely aim the sound at the listeners, doubling down on impact and clarity.
Elsewhere, the open pore wood, the Windsor leather seats with cooling, powered tailgate and heat-resisting windshield make your life more comfortable while getting to your destination.
