I would reject instantly.
That semi analog driver display will hurt the resale value more than you think now. No Mud flaps for my 90.! ----------------------------------------- P300 S MY21 on air, adv.+ offroad pack, DRL+fog, Dinamica Suedecloth + Ebony headliner/Cross Beam- Many Mods.. |

My 2020 110 has the digital dash as standard but it might as well be the analogue one going on how few times I’ve changed the screen from being the two dials with the satnav screen between them, none of the other options appeals. It’s like memory seats, mirrors and steering columns, set it once and it never changes so the system is a bit pointless once you’ve got it how you like it. Now it looks just like both my Evoque’s dashes and my non TFT screen RRS’s and Full Fat.

2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

The actual functionality of the screen isn’t something I’m bothered about. As you say, it will be set and then left alone, most likely. It’s the naff look of having the dials part part electronic, part mechanical. It’s purely the aesthetics of that I don’t like, and am willing to wait, to not have to look at daily once I get my order. Many will consider that an over-the-top position to take, but it’s personal choice. Defender 90 HSE 250D 2022MY - Gave up after two failed orders

Not an over the top position to take in the least because from owning non TFT screen dashed cars - Evoque, RRS and FullFats - the small digital driver information screen was way better integrated with the analogue dials with no section of the Speedo or Rev counter being digital - looked much better if a little 20th century!
This is a much better design - from my 2014MY Evoque - shrouded full analogue speedo and revs and digital info screen between them.

Absolutely. And that photo looks so much nicer on the eye. As to affecting resale values, who knows. Maybe there there will be a bit of a ‘pandemic spec’ stigma. But judging by the number of people not fussed by the hybrid dials, I doubt if there will be much of an issue at all. Defender 90 HSE 250D 2022MY - Gave up after two failed orders |

I prefer the digital display for its clarity and once set I'm pretty sure I'll rarely touch it, a bit like the memory seat setting, position of the steering wheel, and or my lumbar support. Apple play... no idea. Don't need it but other people do.
Resale, I'm not too worried about. We'll buy the vehicle outright and keep it for 5 to 7 years. Maybe a little longer as we're now in our mid 50s and eyeing up retirement What does grind on me is the delivery of the message and the non adjustment to the price to reflect the change. |

I feel lucky my P400e is now waiting for PDI in the dealership lot - and it was built exactly as I wanted it, with the digital dash and 11.4" infotainment screen etc. 22MY Defender 110 P400e SE w/ Off-Road Pack, Driver Assist Pack, Cold Climate Pack, Comfort & Convenience Pack + ClearSight Rear-View Mirror & 11.4" Infotainment Screen

So, today sat in a friends velar which has the analogue dials and you know what they are fine. The digital part is still plenty big enough to display whatever info you need and after having a digital dash in my current car for the last 3 years it was actually quite nice to see real dials again, and they look a lot better in real life than pictures of them.

Have you seen one in the flesh? I had same concerns but now having seen one for real I’m happy with them. |

As something that shows information its will do the job. We can talk about its appearance, but that's subjective.
Digital dash or Analogue? You decide
