I don’t have the code number to hand but it is in Volcano Grey, with air suspension, full black leather, tinted rear windows, surround parking, LED head lights, adaptive brake lights, plus a few other minor things. The only things that I wish I could have changed are the aluminium roof rails (wish they were black to compliment the rear roof spoiler) and bright chrome window surrounds (wish they were black also - as they were on my previous Cayenne).

Of course this is the dilemma! But several OPC s, Autocar(!) and a contact in Germany have all said there will be new 7" and 12" displays in the instrument cluster, which for me personally would be a big improvement. It seems fairly common knowledge that the engines will change. I understand that EU regulations mean by 2019 (?) all new petrol cars must have a GPF and these may well be incorporated in the new engines. Not that it is a major issue for me, but presumably it could reduce road tax band etc. Call me squeaky, but having to pay £1200 tax seems a bit harsh, especially as my wife's previous 2.0l Qashqai diesel was £0 tax and our Maserati and Q3 are £135 at present!
A bit superficial possibly, but I always like the latest of anything, so for now its wait and see...........

Haven’t been to see the car in the flesh as waiting my overnight loan next week to see if our son would be happy in the back. Don’t want to jump the gun!
