I think it will be a conventional split tailgate but above the lights rather than below, as previous suggestions.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

Imagine how high the opening will be if it's only the glass that opens... Samantha won't be able to reach the strew hats in the back of that !!!
Still not sure about the rear proportions?

What you've seen there is the gap between what's covering the inboard tail lamps and the lower part of the tailgate.2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄

I would've thought D I S C O V E R Y would be just below the windscreen as per DS, with the bar above the number plate being a plastic finisher, again, as per DS.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

correct - the gap goes right around to the rear lowering tailgate, no point in having it like that on a one piece
and whilst i'm looking again the gap then looks like it turns 90 and goes up - again no need on a onepieceIllegitimi Non Carborundum

It's a choice of, debate the split tailgate or do the dishes.
It's about as exciting as it gets for me at the moment 23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green
