Yet another spec check...

NandM · Feb 8th, 2017, 18:30

I was initially set on an Inscription, but am now leaning towards Momentum with the following spec:

Family
Winter plus and HUD
Illumination
Blis
Surround cam
Heated rear seats
Birch

What id like to know is what else would the same spec Inscription give me beyond larger tyres, softer leather and leather dashboard.

You'd also get a power passenger seat with memory and the 12.3” driver’s information display. Both of these can be spec'd for a Momentum and are well worth having. On the Momentum the roof rails aren't integrated like they are on the Inscription but look perfectly fine to me. You also lose some trim bling on the side of the car.

I compared the Momentum and Inscription and decided the Momentum's extra features weren't worth it. Also, it meant I could have 19" wheels for a quieter and more comfortable ride.

Other opinions are available.

That's what I was thinking.... forgot to add the larger screen as I spec'd that as well.

It seems to make the most sense to me.

Now, to try and bag a my17 for registration before ved...or wait for the my18 and its improvements... hopefully the last decision to make!

No navigation? I find it nice in combination with a HUD.

Also walnut option, integrated rear sunblinds, leather door trim tops. Pano roof is brill if you take Xenium pack which is good value.
Cannot understand why 19" wheels is not an option on Inscription to make these choices easier.

Are the chrome edges on the door handles present on all trim levels? or only on the inscription?

Inscription has silver radiator grille, Momentum has black.

Rear square exhaust trims. There is a lot of extra illumination which I am not sure if it is all covered off in the illumination pack.

Dare I say it: extra road noise comes standard on the Inscription. ;-)

Thanks all - by going for the Momentum, I'll have change left over to get it detailed and protected...and maybe even P*.

Oh really? Which bits of illumination are unique to Inscription, do you think? I thought I'd be getting it all with the pack on my Momentum.

Have the front & rear skidplate kit, so get the square exhausts, might be subtly different but in the pics on the configurator they looked pretty good / similar to me.
