My 2024 90S delivered on 4/25 at LR Jacksonville with Flat Load Space Floor Tray.

Dealer had no que what is was or how to install.

I must have been the first delivery at this dealership w Flat Load Space Floor Tray.

I installed myself per below:

It is sad that the dealer couldn't figure out how to install the floor tray - it's not rocket science from just looking at the tray and the space.

100% agree, the current V8 is the one to have and not the BMW sourced one.

Land Rover have put out a press release on the 25MY updates today, captains chairs on the 130 as predicted above, upgraded interiors with Kvadrat wool option and a Sedona edition 110 seem to be the headliners. Oh and the new 350D diesel option for non US markets

It seems they are trying to move the Defender even more upmarket this year with even more upgraded interior packs. Its a shame the acorn interior and the wood trim is no longer available as an option per the international configurator. Also strange that an even further de-tuned AJ133 V8 known as the P425 will be replacing the seemingly more efficient MHEV P400 in some markets due to emissions. The addition of the captains chairs (which was already known to come) is a nice option for the 130. Its also a shame that the adjustable armrests come with the captains chairs, but still not on the front seats. That is a Land Rover staple

The P425 is definitely an odd one. I can't imagine selling more V8s is helpful to group emissions.

Looks like the instrument cluster is getting an update as well. It matches the current gui layout on Range Rover lineup.

And the speaker grilles seem to have a different color and pattern.

It looks like the X no longer has the dark grey cross beam, which is a must IMO. No new colors other than that Sedona Red, which doesn't interest me. Also I prefer the Tan/Ebony Windsor combo over the Caraway/Ebony Windsor for the 2025. The only thing I would like is the Ultrasuede headliner and soft close tailgate. I can retrofit the soft close. I'm happy with my 2024 build and will be sticking with it.
