2018 Range Rover loses that fly away vent trim at back of hood (bonnet), gains new contour lines
Gerry McGovern mentioned this in his reveal talk, the vent trim at the back of the hood is gone. It had been known(first hand) to fly off some Range Rovers at speed and disappear in car washes.
2018 Range Rover Order Guide gives away unannounced SVAutobiography LWB details & options
Continuing to study the 2018 Range Rover US order guide, I noticed the "Subject of future announcement", as shown here:
A mistaken drag of my mouse showed that the text was all there, just hidden behind some white boxes. This also happened in other spots throughout the document. While the info below the white box hasn’t been officially announced and might be completely wrong, it’s still interesting. They definitely could have removed the data instead of covering it. I did a better job removing some data from the original.
Here you go:

And some of the more interesting items that were also covered by white boxes – these might have been around in previous years. I didn’t take a the time to look back but these are just the items that I found in the 2018 documents and all specific to the SVAutobiography or as Land Rover USA calls it, the SVAutobiohraphy[sic] :)
Power Deployable Loadspace Floor w/ Carpet Finish $5455
Power Deployable Loadspace Floor w/ Veneer Finish $5455
Both not available with Full-Size Spare
Copper Weave Carbon Fiber $1225
SVO Duo Tone Paint Pallette[sic] $14280
Quilted Poltrona Frau Leather $4490
Vintage Tan Tailgate Event Seating $5815
Ebony Tailgate Event Seating $5815
Last thing – the Interior section ends with "Power Close Rear" which seems kind of unfinished. My guess right now it’s Power Close Rear Door – like on a Rolls Royce. We shall see…
Land Rover Click and Go
This has been around since the Land Rover Discovery announcement but I hadn’t had a chance to really check it out. Then it was mentioned in the new Range Rover Brochure. Seems like a really great idea and somewhat universal solution. You buy the base and then add the attachments you need.
Land Rover Click and Go
Click and Go – Base $41.26
The Click and Go range is a multi-purpose seat–back system for second row passengers. The versatile Click and Go Base fixes between the headrest mountings and further attachments can be added to hold tablets, at multiple angles, bags and shirts or jackets. Each attachment is sold separately. The base can be easily removed when not in use.
Attachments:

This removable coat hanger allows shirts or jackets to be kept crease free whilst transporting.
