Sounds a nice car and very similar to my HSE Lux - Santorini black but with ivory Windsor leather and vent seats!
Would like to see some pics of the tan interior!

You sure you found them in HSE lux or ordered separately?
Front & Rear Parking Sensors with Surround Cameras & 360 degree view
Parallel & Perpendicular Park
Reverse Traffic Detection

For now these are available in Driver Assist - tech package.

Nice choice of Car and colour. Is the DS gaining traction as an alternate to traditional SUVs options in that part of the world? Does it keep up with the Patrols and the LandCruiers in 'Dune bashing' mode ?

These came as standard with the HSE LUX in UAE for at least the 2015 model

They are no longer standard in the 2016 HSE Lux model according to the local dealer website: http://www.altayermotors.com/pdf/05102015/Discovery_Sport_L550_HSE_Luxury_16MY.pdf

DS is still completely outnumbered by the Japanese brands, however i don't think you will see so many range rovers in any other place

Ordering these features would dangerously bring the HSE Lux close to Porsche Macan. You're one lucky guy to have these! May I ask you the $ you paid for Lux variant.

 

[davidbutler62]

It was 229,000 AED or around 41, 000 UK Pounds
