Is there a way to confirm if I have ad or not?

THANKS!
Mine is in Europe. You definitely have to have specced AD here and it’s a rare option. There may be a VIN checking website that shows all of your options, but not sure what that is. Sorry, a frantic week and I will see if I can picture my dampers at some point

Question Adaptive Dynamics or Not?

So now looking to order my next Discovery Sport - Dynamic HSE P300e

In the builder I can chose Configurable Dynamics, but it comes with a warning!

Enhances either refinement and comfort or the vehicle's performance. Configurable Dynamics allows you to configure
Discovery Sport‘s throttle mapping, gearbox shift points, steering settings and suspension (if Adaptive Dynamics fitted)
to suit your driving needs.

Unfortunately it does not say anywhere if the car has or does not have Adaptive Dynamics? My dealers sales person does not know, and neither does their manager!

Any ideas?

Adaptive Dynamics is for derivatives of the air-suspended D7 platform - Discovery full fat, RRS, FFRR, Defender. Your Discovery Sport will be on a different platform - one that is shared with the Evoque. So no need to worry about Adaptive Dynamics

For anyone else that stumbles across this, Adaptive Dynamics also means different things across the cars. On a Disco 5 it means dampers, on a RRS it also involves Active anti-roll bars, so is even more effective.
