The my22 press release indicates the new XS model also has air suspension standard, but my dealer says that is not correct. Is the UK XS model has air suspension standard.

My hunch is that it will be fine with coils. One poster out here reminded me that with the coils you won't be able to lower it down for any older relatives, my dad has needed rides to the doctors from time to time, he's in his 70s now. As much as I didn't want to spend the extra $1600 it's actually a very good point the gentleman made. Even my teenage son stepping out from the back seat to the ground in that 90 I tested, he's 6 foot 2 and it's a long stretch to the ground from the back seat. Having the capability to lower the vehicle down in this situation is actually the right thing to do and of course raising it from time to time is also nice to have.

I had coil springs on my '03 Discovery and loved the ride. For the Defender, I opted to go for the air suspension for similar reasons to those stated by Chief65. My wife is 5'4, and if I couldn't lower the vehicle she'd want me to get some sort of side steps (no thanks!). I don't think she'd like the look of the Lucky 8 sliders. Also, being able to raise to off-road height is a nice option.

2022 MY order guide for US. The quality is pretty bad, but that's what I got from my rep. Most notable changes are that the air suspension is only standard on X and V8 models. All other models get coil suspension as standard and air suspension is I think an $1600 option (the resolution of the pdf is crappy, so it's hard to make out). The Meridian Surround Sound system is now standard on SE, XD SE and XD HSE. Clearsight mirror is now being replaced with Auto-dimming rear view mirror as standard on SE, XD SE and XD HSE. Sliding panoramic roof is also standard on SE, XD SE and XD HSE. There are more changes, but these are the ones that are listed separately in the guide.
And finally, the larger screen is a $140 option on all the models.

I think it is only available on HSE and X Defender My wife has a Valar p340 S that has heated/cooled seats so you would expect a certain amount of consistency across trim levels. For some bizarre reason I could not order refrigerated cool box in my 2022 Defender which does not make sense at all.
