I own the RangeRover Sport and at no point did I get the impression that the interior was significantly inferior to that of my car. I can forgive a rougher finish on the leather because I've owned an X5/6 with similar and it stood up well to the day to day demands of a young family at that time as for cheap feel on some areas these were places you seldom touch and frankly I much prefer a dash top covered in leather look to a plastic one you get on the equivalent German brand.trev said:I shall start saying I'm talking out of disappointment here and looking forward to hear other comments who may help me change my mind...
I've been long awaiting to see this car live and I had a chance to see an F-pace 2.0D AWD Portfolio glacier white with espresso interiors. It was a 88K€ list price car with 22" rims, pan roof and several other amenities, not just the base 42K€ version.
I must admit I was totally let down with some quality details and especially interior feeling wasn't at expected level. Seats aren't so appealing, leather is nice in portfolio, but look and feel a little hmmm... Several cheap plastics around, small storage spaces, and the UGLY black plastic in the rear door side (as shown here at min 19:20).
Guys, we are talking of an 88K€ 2.0D! At that price you can easily spec a Cayenne, RRS, X5, X6, XC90 Inscription, Macan and so on... All of them far superior on engine and interiors.
These guys have experience with RR interior quality! I can't believe they spoil such a great and innovative project with an interior that feels cheap and looks old style already before its launch.

Next lets address the elephant in the room, that of the 88K euro price tag, if you were to spec your RRS, X5, X6 Cayenne, Macan or XC90 to this level their price would far exceed that of the F-Pace, you really need to keep things in perspective.![]()

It is totally the dealers job to fully valet the car prior to handoverReggraham said:I'm disappointed by the PDI and clean mine got after production, I noticed while driving at night bearing in mind I have only done 1600 miles that the inside of the windscreen had a film of dirt like you get after a long period of use. I have been so busy I haven't had time to clean it now the weather has changed and the car gets misty I see all of the suction marks and remnants of labels that were stuck to the windscreen and rear screen clearly so it either didn't get a good clean at the factory, I know mine rolled of the line at about 11:30pm, and the dealer didn't do a proper clean bearing mind mine was left sitting in storage for over a month due to the WLTP fiasco earlier in the summer. When Jaguar asked me for feedback I mentioned this wonder if I will get a reply?.
