Is the Trophy LR worth it?

[Rolfe]

The weird thing is that they sell Trophy SR cars in the far east. Maybe it's because they get generally better range there due to the high temperatures?

Me, I'd buy an X-Power with the SE spec and an LFP battery, but that's crying for the moon.

Main benefits with the Trophy:

• Seat materials (assuming you prefer them, some don't).
• Heated seats and heated steering wheel.
• 360 camera and reversing camera.
• Sat nav built in (if you don't use AA/Carplay).
• The double wing at the back, if you like it.
• Auto folding wing mirrors.
• Auto dimming rear view mirror.
• Wireless phone charging (but no wireless AA/CarPlay).
• More options / configurations in the settings.

Those are the main ones I can think of.

The heated seats and steering wheel have been nice over winter. I like to use them rather than heat the cabin to a high temperature - my wife finds the heated seats less “stuffy” and hence more comfortable environment also.

The 360 camera is genius and we use it all the time especially in car parks. The reversing camera is more useful than I would have expected too, and miss it on my other car.

The extra safety equipment is nice to have and I’ve always been keen on anything that makes it more likely that you’ll avoid an accident.

My wife preferred the seats in the Trophy. I do find them extremely comfortable but not sure if the SE LR would be any different.

I can take or leave the rest - E.g. Apple CarPlay does the job of the satnav.
