It is all due to the chip shortage, it's the only way they can get cars out of the factory.

If you want those options then you just have wait until.........?

 

Funny enough, a 2022 SVR order allows for head’s up display but 2022 SVR Carbon Edition doesn’t. What?? Yes I get chip shortage, but don’t do a final send off on these highest trim models without offering the options that are obviously being routed to other models.
I don’t think waiting is an option. I can’t imagine the L494 will be available with any certainty after that.

 

Not a fan of the heads up display. Thought I'd like it but turned it off after a few days of use. Never use cruise control so that wouldn't bother me either.

 

I get it’s subjective. I have head’s up now on my 2020 RRS and I love it and find it very functional. Same with adaptive cruise. I can get a lot done on long drives and even traffic without having to constantly be on/off throttle and brakes (safely of course 😁). It’s actually quite useful to help fatigue on long trips. Also adaptive cruise is not a standalone option so I assume you no longer get any of the drive packs.

 

Adaptive cruise with lane keep assist is the best option you can order. I did a 2,000 mile trip last year and my SVR drove 80% of the time while I drove 20%.

 

The fifth generation Range Rover is coming within the next 2 months. The Sport is coming likely next spring or summer. I would assume upon launch (which is basically: now), they have absolute priority over the outgoing models.
Point being, in this current mess and the impending major launches, this is probably not a great time to buy a Range Rover or a Sport. Under normal circumstances, they would have to heavily discount cars at this point.

 

The new Sport is not going to be announced until late 2022 with deliveries in 2023.

 

6 months here or there makes 0 difference as far as the point I was making is concerned. The current Range Rover and Range Rover Sport are essentially "take it or leave it" at this point. No diesel, no PHEV, no HUD, no V8 (except SV), no surround cameras, no inventory, painfully infrequent system updates, etc etc etc.

 

I just ordered a 2022 SVR non-carbon edition but with all the carbon packs... I got my order in the system with the Heads Up Display, and it didnt complain at all. I got my order in on Aug 17 with a build date of Nov 5. Not sure if that'll get delayed or not but so far, all's well in the system.

That's how it starts, get your hopes up and then in a month or so let you down!

All that means is that you had a valid configuration at the time of data entry, when it gets to the next stage of order processing is when you will get the bad news.

 

Quick update: no adaptive cruise on any SVR which means we can only choose Blind Spot assist. HUD only on SVR and not on SVR Carbon Edition (yes go figure). Given the Carbon edition only gives you illuminated tread plates, it was an easy decision to switch my order to an SVR and just add whatever carbon bits I wanted. We were worried they were taking away surround cameras as well, but at least on the SVR they’re not for now. My SA said it’s only going to get worse and they will shortly take away the SVO color palette. Like someone said, it will soon be hard to spec anything, so take it or leave it. Will be curious to see if the new full-size will initially launch with delayed options as well…I’m guessing it will if things don’t improve. Doubt you’ll see any discounts here - getting a V8 these days has become very hard - look at what MBZ announced recently. No V8’s for MY2022 except for S and G class.

 

they will shortly take away the SVO color palette.

Yea - I wanted a special SVO color and I was quoted $15K for it.

Fingers crossed for you, however UK and European potential owners are being contacted when they approach the build date and are told they have to remove the problem options or not receive a car.

Update: my SVR Carbon Edition has been built and am told it’s about ready to ship. Delivery in February. Let’s hope it has all the options I ordered.

 

Nice! What options did you get? My SVR should arrive on the same boat!

I took delivery of my 22 SVR Monday. showed up as ordered. Including the 360 cameras. So far so good.

 

That’s great congrats! Were you able to get any of the DrivePacks or Adaptive Cruise?

 

My car just arrived (early) and it’s going through PDI. Confirmed it has every option I ordered including 360 camera and HUD. Whew! Will post photos once I get it.

excellent. Enjoy it

 

Picked it up today. Will post more pics later. Sanguinello Orange Carbon Edition. Photos don’t do this color justice.

 

Gorgeous build, I’ll be ordering a 2023 as soon as I’m able.

 

Gorgeous! I almost got the SVR Bespoke special in L'Orange a few weeks ago while I got tired of waiting for my Satin Black one to arrive... I agree the RRS looks gorgeous in bright colors like orange or red.
