On the build site. No 18" wheel options.

None.

Also odd that whatever the engine is (I6 or V8), it is not available as an option on the X trim...

yes, this was very disappointing to see. I wonder if they are standardizing the brake sizes in NA? I see no other reason why they would not offer it as an option seeing that they are still available in other regions.

I have a feeling there are still a ton of bugs to work out with the configurator. Every model seems to list variable seating arrangements (for example, on the model portion of the defender 90 build, it says "available with 5 or 6 seats"), but I can't for the life of me see where to select the center jump seat. So they list it as a possibility up front, but didn't put it anywhere in the configurator. Probably the same with roof options, wheels options, interior options, etc. Like everything, it's a work in progress.

Maybe they are dropping 18s now that K03 are available in 19"?

I agree. The Sedona Red color is not even an option on the 110 or 90.

Yes, and also the fact that they all show the Defender with the base headlights, even though all Defenders come with the premium LEDs as standard for the past couple years. I'm also pissed that it appears that the wood trim is no longer available.

That's so bloody dumb.

One of the huge benefits of getting the P300 was being able to spec 18" rims. First they can the nice 18" smoked grey alloys and now the steelies. LR have lost the plot. HWta is the though process here. Is there a thought process.

No doubt a selection of 19" rims for which there are no tires, city 20" rims and a generous selection of 22". What a joke. So disappointing

I guess the LR boffins figure the hideous 20" faux-steelies will fill that niche. Clueless.

I doubt that JLR are clueless. With the amount of Defenders they are currently selling, they seem to be doing something right.

You are correct...it was a website typo. No more V8 option on the 110 X-Dynamic SE.
