I saw last night that they were opening orders up for the D90S today. So I drove to the dealer and placed my order/deposit. I got a call a few hours later and was told that I can’t have the upgraded headlights or interactive driver display on the S model any more. I went through with the order anyways, and delivery date is July!
Im a little worried that removing the head lights also removed the air suspension I optioned, as that is what happens when I use the Land Rovers site to build a vehicle. I need to get back in touch with the dealer and get a new build sheet to see exactly what is being delivered.
I assume since the interactive display is unavailable, I have to get the analog display, if this is true, are you guys happy with the analog display? Does anybody know what other changes happened to the 2023.5 builds?

 

You will be fine without air and analog dash.

 

Another example when JLR makes certain features depend on others options. You can't order it with fog lights (only, no "signature" headlights) online in the configuration / build tool, but they can.

You'll get air suspension. Requiring the upfitted headlights is obviously not required but if you remove them, several advanced options get removed, not just air suspension.

Check your detailed build sheet, it's still there, like mine. I have not been told anything about the digital dash, but I guess it will be analog.

Mine shows digital.

 

I think the analog dash is fine, but I wouldn't want to lose the upgraded lights (although if I could have had them without the factory fog lights I would). Personally I think the air option is great, and I paid the uncharge to add it, but there are advantages to the coils, too

 

I got the official build sheet just now. Only the headlights were removed. It still has the air suspension. It also shows the interactive display, so who knows which I’ll get. Build date is 5/12, with a 7/12 delivery!

 

Analog x Digital dash - I do not like the design and IMO LR miserably failed in integrating the digital screen with the analog numbers. That said though, to me, it really depends on how much you are spending/being charged. If I were configuring a base S spec and paying the corresponding lower price, analog would be fine. What gets under my skin is people paying for fully loaded X Specs, being told they will have digital and getting analog dashes, after-the-fact and without any warnings from LR. That's just deceptive.

 

l am fine with the analogue dash in my D90
l don't notice any issues with integration etc, it's a lot nicer than some cars l've been in.

The only things l look at are the digital speed readout and the average MPG

l spend most of my time looking out of the windscreen

 

Analog dash doesn’t bother me. I mostly use Apple CarPlay for directions, which wouldn’t show up on the digital dash anyway. But those who use the native navigation with the digital dash may feel otherwise (I have this integrated in a different car and do like that functionality).

I really like the air suspension if for no other reason than ease of entry/exit for shorter passengers.

Mine has the basic headlights, which I find underwhelming. I do wish I had fog lights and better headlights. That’s on the top of my list for potential future upgrades. But I’ve gone two years with the stock base lights, so I guess it hasn’t been that big of a problem.
