Maybe we need to turn up the sun for those of us in less favourable climates?

Anyway, back on topic, the D5 is a lovely car and the standard UK options changed a lot from the D4, based on owner feedback! Adaptive cruise I think was standard at launch.... 2019 brochure here may help?



That said, it doesn't really appeal to me at present. To many touch screens maybe, but that is becoming a more common challenge, including in ev's.... must be my age, but I'm waiting for the gimmicks to wear off :rolleyes:

Synthetic fuels could turn out to be a more efficient and "green" solution to storing energy generated by intermittent sources such as wind, tidal, solar etc. certainly compared to batteries. ;)

Looking at the brochure it seems to be pretty comprehensive as standard with a few things added on the S-Line such as Matrix headlights and acoustic glass.

Not many options to add that aren't to do with personalising the interior.
Though oddly the "City Assist Pack" is extra despite probably using sensors already there for other systems. Similarly "Park Assist" is also extra.
