Interesting news on Dutch LR website when you look to configure a new DS:
http://www.landrover.nl/vehicles/new-discovery-sport/550-configurator-disclaimer.html

Original Dutch text below and English translation here:

Due to a global modification to the system configurator, we may temporarily not perform updates to the Discovery Sports configurator. Since at this time, however, a number of adjustments are in force, we would like to point those out before your use of the Discovery Sports configurator.

Scroll down to go to configurator.

Car prices
For the prices of these models have a different price than is mentioned in the configurator. This concerns only cars with eD4 diesel with manual transmission and front-wheel drive:

Discovery Sport HSE eD4 2WD diesel manual price should be: € 52,250
Discovery Sport HSE Luxury eD4 2WD diesel manual price should be: € 58,150

The mentioned price adjustment is partly due to the expansion of the standard equipment of the Discovery Sports with InControl InControl Protect and Secure.

Aangezien er op dit moment echter wel een aantal aanpassingen zijn, willen wij u daar graag op wijzen voordat u doorklikt naar de Discovery Sport configurator.

My dealer confirmed all this news to me

Please note as per my earlier post that all our NL prices are raised EUR 1,500 / GBP 1,200 due to InControl Protect & InControl Secure being standard on all models (maybe because of recent security concerns and thefts?)

Also, please note that the list of options that are no longer available for MY2016 are not just limited to the Ed4 2WD version yet are not available in The Netherlands anymore on any of the models

Question: would this be because of supply issues (surround camera system/towbar) or because of new technology that is either not ready for release or needs updating (Rear Entertainment System) ???

My dealer confirmed that some details will be given on Monday the 27th of April (in UK at least)
So 48 hours to wait!

Any news regarding the return of all these options?
