MY16 Commercial at the dealer
Just seen my new arrival, and its early !! Originally quoted September, then July 11th but it arrived 12th June. Alas, my financial year won't allow me to collect until after 1st July
Don't like the wheels as much as my current D4 but not changing them as its a work tool.
Wondered about having them painted though?? Thinking Matt Black? Any thoughts? Tyres coming off for GG's to go on so though it may be a good time to get wheels done too?

Wow @euangibson they look good. That has really encouraged me to defo get them done. Will have a read of that link.
Mine does go off road quite a bit and sometimes up to the hubs so not sure how hardy that stuff would be but easily re done I guess?
@SafariDave, interior is pretty much unchanged on the D4, nearly identical to my MY12. Leather now standard even on Commercial. No inside pics as I didn't have the keys.

in the US we only get 2 to versions of the LR4 in HSE or HSE LUX no commercial or other types. Just curious what the interior looks like.
I like the rims the way they are.

Well I think the new Discos have a lower tax now so the advantage has gone but Commercials have always been £225/yr I think.

Collected today, very happy. Feels a bit sharper than my outgoing D4. Whether the Euro6 spec engine is slightly different or my old one is a bit tired? This one seems to spin up a bit quicker and seems to require a bit less effort from the right foot to get it moving.
Had the wheels sprayed matt black and General Grabbers fitted prior to collection.

Glad you've got your hands on it and the wheels look good! 8)
I've got confused here, but isn't the Commercial still Euro 5? Either way, I'm glad to hear that it feels better than the old one

Well that makes 2 of us then. No adblue on the Commercial but sales guy said it was Euro6 compliant. Within a month he said everything in the showroom would be Euro6 as per instruction from LR.
My commercial is MY16 so whether that means it is but can't see how without the adblue.
Either way, on the journey home, I didn't take it much over 3000rpm but Mrs D4Comm reckoned she was taking my old one over 4000 rpm to keep up?
