Ah! There is a difference; the top edge of the A pillars have a sharp angle, rather than a gentle curve. I shall know how to tell them apart when they launch it 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

Looks like the design is getting closer to Range Rover, perhaps the new Defender replacement will look like the Disco 4..... Dave

The 2 most interesting things for me are
1. The 2 extra sensor spots around the mirror position, is this going to be the terrain display on to the bonnet?

2. The headlight design? It doesn't look like the Standard Xenon light setup, is this going to be laser technology, that I read about in the earlier discovery concept vehicle?

Most likely collision alert as per the Disco Sport. One thing I haven't noticed if the D5 has pedestrian airbags.
Those headlights are the LED units.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

Spoke to my dealer yesterday,and asked about the split tailgate....just to add to the conspiracy theorists,he either didn't hear my question or chose to ignore it.....either way,he didn't answer me "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

Those headlights are the LED units.
The LED's must be the size of golf balls, they don't look anything like the lights on a RRS or FFRR.
There is a very distinct horizontal line that splits the headlights into two different sections,
I can't see a big bulbous xenon light in this shot
