It's definitely a single piece tailgate... but you might find the slide-out "day seat", "foot stool", step thing at the rear, might be an option on higher spec only !2005 D3 HSE 2011 D4 Landmark 2016 D4 HSE Lux

Asymmetric design around the numberplate / tailgate release handle….
Hmmm, asymmetric design… where have I seen that before…Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948
I do quite like the front end up to about the rear wheels, did they run out of budget/pencil and just said that will do. I am quite intreguied by it though!'16 Volvo XC90 R Design Bursting Blue (Vera)

The grey one looks pretty good to me, better than the others so far it has more of a butch/aggressive look about it. As for the rear I'm still holding out on the tailgate as that numberplate area just doesn't look right with the wasted space next to it. Hoping thats the final bit of camo hoarding to come off and reveal the true rear with the split tailgate.MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

IHMO, I think there are two reasons to think that it is divided gate. On the one hand the rounded end of the rear bumper is required to accommodate the rotation of the hinge to the gate down the middle, and on the other hand if a gate in one piece would be gigantic. I tend to think that it will be split gate.lost in translation!

That is the true rear, it's as per the Vision Concept. But I do agree the grey one looks good.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

The exterior looks good. Now need some updated pics of the interior and news on engine options.
