Is it me or does it look very cramped
It just looks all wrong in size, like the picture has been photoshopped, the door looks tiny I like the look of it but that pic doesn't do it any favours.

Agree, it's awful not a fan of brown interiors. Don't know if anyone on here has it on their D4?23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

Look at the drinks bottle it doesn't look symmetrical and they are normally round I don't think its been messed with but wonder if taking it through the glass has skewed things MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

I wondered about that, but then the cup holder the bottle is sitting in is round?
...and the heater controls/gear knob thing.
Maybe it is the Chinese copy one?... I hear they are putting on a copy tailgate! 2005 D3 HSE 2011 D4 Landmark 2016 D4 HSE Lux

Looks the same to me, the slope of the centre consol doesn't help.
Also on the D5 the steering column looks fully extended.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

Very helpful comparison photo
Has the height adjustable upper seat belt mount gone?
It does snow that the side bolsters are much more prominent - that should help when I go around the Nurbergring next time
I like the big screen, even it it is too low and I like the gear knob being offset to the driver. Big cup holders too The height of the centre console will make it seem more cramped inside though.

Yeh, it looks like the seat belt height adjustment has gone, my biggest criticism of the DS.
Bare in made that will be the Lux model and the seats won't be like that on them all, the seats are pretty much the same as the DS as is the cabin and I had no complaints over comfort or space in that.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

If that's a LUX model, isn't it missing some arm rests?2005 D3 HSE 2011 D4 Landmark 2016 D4 HSE Lux

Definitely a little less roomy around the top due to the increased slope, not surprisingly.Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC

Look closely they are there. The passenger seat you can just make it out at the top.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green
