What is the difference between Land Rover SE and HSE?
2 Answers
The differences between Land Rover SE and HSE are: 1. Different top speeds: The Land Rover SE has a top speed of 201 km/h; the Land Rover HSE has a top speed of 215 km/h. 2. Different maximum engine power: The Land Rover SE has a maximum engine power of 221 kW; the Land Rover HSE has a maximum engine power of 250 kW. Both the Land Rover SE and HSE have a fuel tank capacity of 90L, are equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, use double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and multi-link independent suspension at the rear, and come with features such as anti-lock braking, brake assist, seatbelt reminder, and tire pressure monitoring.
Last time when my friend was torn between these two models, I did some research. The most noticeable difference between SE and HSE lies in the configurations. Take the Range Rover Sport for example, the HSE comes standard with Meridian sound system and Windsor leather seats, while the SE only has basic leather. The seat ventilation and massage functions in HSE are particularly useful during highway driving. There's also a gap in wheel size, with HSE starting from at least 20 inches. For some models like the Discovery, the HSE also includes panoramic imaging and adaptive cruise control, which are optional extras for the SE. The price difference usually ranges between 50,000 to 100,000. If you're into luxury, going for the HSE is definitely the right choice. But if you're on a tight budget, the SE shares the same powertrain with the HSE, and you can save quite a bit by upgrading the sound system later.
