i like the look of the roof accessory, has the makings of a cowl for an expo rack the sunroof could open in the void with the rack just above The current roof bars and box look terrible compared to the D4s a cowl would look much better.

Its worked though, we're all talking about it, the press have it, the Red Cross get a mention and the D5 market positioning is expanded into the 'its not just a yummy mummy car, it can be practical and useful, honest' sector.
LR PR - job done, until they mention Austria, a country known for needing help with disaster relief. That's where the stunt falls over D4 HSE EU6 (Known as Jeeves)

Why?
Am aware of someone who was in Spain for the launch and they said there were XC90s Q7s and Mercs there to compare with D5
They broke one of the XC90 totally and a Q7 but only issue with D5 was punctures the LR techs there had a sunny holiday
Q7 was great on road but rubbish off road XC90 was ok ish at both and the merc was not even worth talking aboutMY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

Nice mod ideas for electric outlets at the back shows there must be some space behind there
Ideas on improving the storage

Never matters too much as most never go too far off tarmac so now more road bias.
