just picked up my24 on 06/14
P300 engine feels very smooth!

 

Went to the dealer to see the Silicon Silver color fully on a few different Defender model trims. I would agree the webiste and the actual color on a Defender are a bit different. The light (sunlight vs indoors) also can change it a bit. Personally, I found the Silicon Silver underwhelming and a bit drab. The Habuka Silver jumps out at you - it glitters almost. The Eiger Grey is very refined looking, but darker. The Silicon is tough to place, and at times I thought it had hints of brown, which I didn't want, but again, maybe that had to do with the light. The X Dynamic and black packages can change the look of the Silver a bit. For example, a Silicon Silver S Trim has more silver on the front than a X Dynamic Trim, which uses a bit more black it seemed. If you can possibly do it, it's worthwhile to see what you'll be driving ahead of time. The white also looked awesome. And the Tasman Blue also looked great.

 

for 2025, Tasman Blue is showing in the US. Not sure where you? But for US, Tasman Blue seems available for 2025.

 

Every few months since Covid I’ve gone back to the configuration to rebuild mine as close as possible (a fully loaded 2020 HSE). Mine was almost $82k then.

over the years I’ve seen my rebuilds get as high as $87-88k.

a 2025 x dynamic HSE with all the options is now showing as $85.5k.

Am I seeing pricing came down a smidge for 2025?

 

When the 2025 build function on the US Land Rover website first launched, Tasman Blue was missing. It is listed again and certainly available as I ordered a 2025 in Tasman last month.

 

I too ordered Tasman Blue, S Trim. Turns out, if you want the 19" rims, it's only available now on the S Trim or the full X trim. The trim in-between is the X Dynamic, and that is now only offering the 20" and up. I wish JLR adopted a Grenadier approach and just let folks buy whatever features they wanted, trim restrictions gone. If you've tested out a few Defender trims, you'll notice the rear seat reclines a bit. I'm assuming that is a feature on all trims and all seats, but it doesn't really say that anywhere. It's a improvement to recline the rear seat a bit, and putting that out there as a feature would have seemed like a good idea. Anyone confirm if that's on all Defenders?

 

Tasman Blue has been there since day one, at least for the 110.

Nope: https://build.landrover/1B8307CF

 

My '21 110 S doesn't have reclining rear seats, they are fixed in place. I guess its something they have added over the years. My old Disco 5 HSE Lux had reclining second-row seats, however.

 

AFAIK 5 seater version the rear seats have one position.

7 seater has a forward position and a normal (reclined) position.

If you have a 5 seater they are fixed in the comparable 7 seater reclined position. There is no recline option lost as there never was one to begin with. That's my understanding. No room exists into which a rear seat can recline.

 

That's my understanding as well. The 2nd row recline option is only available if you have a 3rd row. They may also slide forward and backward.

I have a 5-seater MY24 110 X-Dynamic SE and the back seats do not recline or slide forward.
