Is there room for a dual battery ?

With the 4 different engines on offer,

Do they have room for a under bonnet dual battery ?

If not, I'm going elsewhere.



I visited my JLR dealer this week and the parking lot is full
Of new RRS, DS, Evoques and F paces, that are not selling because of
The bloated prices on them, about 20 cars had signs on them advertising them as demonstrators,

Yes, crank battery is in the boot in front of where the jack is presently and big space for second battery in front right of engine bay. Certainly for the TDV6 model, which is back to single turbo btw.

Looking at that picture it has the active suspension like the RRS so when you go into a corner it jacks up the suspension to keep it more level and stop the lean

It's actually a really simple connection, there is a jump start power point in the front. Straight forward split charge setup will be fine. Thumbs Up

Although the model we had a good look all over in, over and under! didn't seem to have the FBH (3.0svd6) so it may be different wth one of those installed.
