Thread: 2010/2011 D4 SE vs HSE

I'm pretty sure the main thing is the bigger touch screen also bigger stereo the lights in the doors also not sure if xenon lights are standard aswell. Don't think there is much more than that. Syneigy can point you in the exact details.

Went through this excercise last year and the main differences were:
- reverse camera
- off road GPS
- xenon lights
- electric front seat with memory
- better stereo
- 7 seats with AC in the back
- SDV engine

Most SEs I saw were optioned with at least a few of these, so it came down to what you want. I really wanted a camera, AC in back and xenon. The others were a bonus when I picked a really well priced HSE (with black pack) for $93K.

Not sure if the MY14 have not changed the STD offering.

REALLY happy with mine but I am sure an SE would also have brought a smile to my face

Hi Will,

Are you looking for MY14 or in general, as I suspect it varied a little from year to year.

That's exactly right everything there haha and yeah I got mine for under $93 aswell so yeah push hard and you can get a good deal and make it not much price difference and the memoir seats are really worth it.

Same here.

Bought mine in November last year. Was looking for an SE with some options new or very low kms demo. By the time I specified what I wanted the HSE became an easy choice and we got extra stuff that we wouldn't have opted for included. I paid $95,000 but had short roof rails with bars and side steps so the price is close to the others. I was happy with the deal I got and ended up with a digital radio thrown in as the car the dealer quoted on which was in Qld was sold out from under them and they found one in Vic that had the DAB. They wore the cost themselves at their suggestion. I was very impressed with the whole process.

Whichever way you go you'll be happy.

I can't speak for the MY14 but I have a LR MY13 (Australia) spec sheet.

Differences between HSE and SE are stated as:

New 7 spoke alloy wheels
Rear view camera
Xenon headlights
Front park sensors
Rear A/C
Electric memory seats driver and passenger
Electric memory mirrors
Hi-Ice H&K 11 speaker sound
Premium Nav (although there is no other Sat Nav offered...LOL)


Seven seats and SDV6 are standard SE features. SE also has electric front seats, just no memory, as standard.

As other members have stated, there isn't a lot in it (I'm actually a bit dismayed by the things an HSE doesn't have as standard) and there are a lot of SE's with additions floating around. There are also a few incremental options and special 'packs' that can be added to any D4 (eg single electric seat, camera only, Sat Nav only, Tech Pack, etc). On top of that, there are still a lot of options that can be added period, that are not standard on either an HSE or SE, so I imagine there will be a few HSEs floating around that are carrying extra options on them.

Finding a car that is already optioned up is a very economical way of getting extra fruit.

Cheers,

Kev.

You trading the D2 in Will?
