Looks great. Just ordered a Tasman Blue 110! Not sure about the wheels though - ordered with the same wheels as you but silver. Now wondering if black would look better. Do you have any more photos, please.

Also considering whether 20” would be preferable due to the tyre options. The Grey 5 spoke would look good against the blue I think but then there is the additional cost.

Regarding the screen - they all have the 11.4” now, even the S?

I'm a fan of silver wheels. And it's finally arrived. At least as it's a MY24 it still has the badges on the signature panels. The larger screen was a no cost option here and I ordered it.

Hi all,

Exciting day today - picked up my MY24 110 D250 HSE. Spec:
- Tasman Blue
- 19” six spoke alloys, gloss black finish (style 6010)
- body coloured spare wheel cover
- privacy glass
- Ebony Windsor leather
- leather steering wheel
- air suspension pack
- secure tracker pro
- classic mudflaps

I am getting the car ceramic coated next week so will post more pics then.

Initial impressions - the good:
- Smooth. Smooth. Smooth. Engine, ride, overall refinement is first rate
- Seats super adjustable and comfortable. Heated seats plenty hot enough in this weather!
- Windsor leather not only feels and looks great but the smell really adds to the cabin
- Tasman blue is a colour that looks better in real life than in pics or on the configurator. Really debated it for a long time but absolutely no regrets. A classic colour IMO
- Nice ambient lighting at night (set to blue which has a nice vibe)
- 11.4” screen super bright and clear, one of the main reasons I went with an HSE over an XS
- 42mpg average on the 50 mile journey back from the dealer, not too shabby in rush hour and with a tight engine!

The not so good:
- Not able to set up my JLR InControl details despite multiple emails and calls with dealer prior to collection. Apparently I’m not the only one! Dealer is seeking further advice from JLR and hope to get it up and running soon
- Meridian mediocre at best, maybe regretting not going with the surround upgrade
- Miss the soft close tail gate, penny pinching by JLR
- ClearSight rear view mirror is a bit migraine inducing, need to get used to it
- Will need to buy a rear bumper protector as silver finish looks vulnerable on closer inspection
- Would have preferred Pirelli rather than Continental all seasons based on online reviews. Interested in others’ thoughts.
