Thread: D3 SE vs HSE standard features

At a pinch you can look up D3's on redbook.com.au and compare a SE vs HSE for a rough idea of what they came out with for each model year.

redbook.com.au

My SE;

Has 7 seats
Auto
Seats are leather but non electric and with no armrests
Base stereo
No upper console info display
No sunroof/s
No rear AC
18” wheels
No external accessories like strips on doors or chrome covers
Does have bi-xenon headlights
Does have rain sensing wipers
Does have auto on headlights
Does have auto dimmer rear vision mirror

The things I don’t have I’ve never missed except maybe the stereo. i added an integrated aftermarket Bluetooth phone pickup which works a treat.

In fact these are the items you may expect grief from as age gets on especially internal leaks from sunroof drains.

Bluetooth was on option on HSE with the module in the tailgate! Use of an aftermarket via the audio input at the rear of the cubby box is fine for me as the bluetooth modules are rare as to purchase by themselves.

Captains chairs are standard HSE as OP has stated.

Chilled cubby box was an HSE option.

There may have been other options possible MY07 (Euro 4 motor) onwards that I am not aware of due to owning an MY06 (Euro 3 motor).

I’m not convinced of RedBooks accuracy with features, the only thing that stick out to me on there (using a 2006 as example) is that HSE included the following as standard which were optional extras on SE:

Option Pack - Hi Ice Sound System

CD Stacker - 6 disc In Dash/Cabin
8 Speaker Stereo
Subwoofer
Premium Sound System
Multi-function Steering Wheel

Yes I’ve added to mine the multi function steering wheel inserts and console fridge which were plug and play ready to go I just bought the part and plugged them in.

Hi Ice Sound System includes the sub-woofer AFAIK.

Mine (MY06) has the Premium (Harman Kardon) Premium Sound including 8 speakers & 6 stack CD. Having replaced both tailgate actuators I definitely do not have a sub-woofer in there.

Other differences are as I have mentioned above.
