D4 - Is E-Diff with standard 19" tyres worthwhile?

If you tow heavy loads off-road, the stronger axles in the eDiff might be of some benefit.

If you splashed out on an HSE D4, why not spend the extra $1200 and get the e-diff?

Because my wife fell in love with the one on the showroom floor. No arguments were entertained.

Gordon, does the D4 replace the Evoque?

I was thinking about getting a new Discovery and wanted to know if the E-Diff is a worthwhile option if using standard wheels and tyres?

I am planning to do the occasional 4WD track, nothing serious.

While you may not need a E-diff given the driving your expecting to do there is another good reason for buying a new D4 with one, they are a very good selling point for when you want to get rid of the d4 and for only $1200 why wouldn't you have one?

Add the e-diff so that there is one more on the market in a few years when I am looking to upgrade my D3 :D

Graeme, bit off topic but I'm interested in why you're changing from D4 to L322. Not sure if you have covered this elsewhere.

They're really really nice to drive (v8 with more kW & Nm than a sdv6) and capable off-road. 😁

I'm looking for a better ride on our country back-roads for my wife with her injured back without loosing any of the D4's capabilities for both our combined and my own usage.

Get a D3 and 17 inch rubber for a softer ride:angel::angel::angel::angel:
