Not related but another simple thing that I struggled before. pressing both left and right mirror buttons same time will fold mirrors manually. Just want to share.
Same for me but now that I look closely there it is!

I just placed my order with the dealer today for a my26 in Woolstone green!

He sent over the build sheet and the only question I had was about the Rear Climate Seats. He had this selected. 300KF 60:40 load thru HEATED rear seats

w/man slide & recline & ctr armrest

Everything else looked good. I'm excited, it's going to be our first Land Rover!

Hopefully the US configurator will be up in the next week or so.

Please share pictures with us. We're all curios to see actual changes in real life pictures. =)

1. My fav current color is Tasman Blue but I was a rube with my order and couldn't get it in the trim I wanted. I now know better re: ordering options and would have had it. I wasn't in on the Easter Egg green (ymmv) so I stupidly went with the Habachi Silver. That new green would have been hands down my choice. Not perfect, but a lot better than the other lifesaver colors the design team went with.
2. Not having a checker plate trim on the hood... I can see Simon @ PowerfulUK, Plumb, Lucky8, NewDefenderMods and every other aftermarket company cheering with glee re: the opportunities to retro that mistake.
3. I'm a meh on the front end, but a head shaker to the rear lights. I liked the recessed retro look. Not a show stopper but again a likely aftermarket opportunity.
4. It ain't a Tesla! Not a fan of the ginormous infotainment screen. It's not like they can play movies (unless jail broken). And the design nimrods seem to have kept the same 3 widget layout. Like with that much space, can't you put more on it? Oh, I'll just make everything bigger. Ok, works with my aging eyes but just looks like everything went up to 94 Font.
5. NOT trying to be political here, but I heard the US Pres is going to write another executive order banning the Auto Start/Stop feature on vehicles. Personally, something I could stand behind. If true, someone convince him to add a line about the distracted driving. I had it on a rental for a week and I was dead arsed sober, not texting, not sleepy and at random points that thing would whine at me. I would LEAP at someone (Mark? Sarek? Future opportunity...) to reprogram that off.
6. On the pic of the ginormous Pivi, I am interested in what they did to the "storage" on the right. Cool that there's a USB-C charger, but not sure why the recess seems to slope down to the right. Going to be interested to see what happens there. I kinda like the shelves. If they redesigned that, wonder what happens to the area in front of the arm rest. That whole storage area is a love/hate with me. With all the after market cubbies and storage, I think it's now dialed in. Maybe they piddled around with it too.
I'm pretty sure that area to the side of the screen with the USB c and all is exactly the same mate. Slop and all

Have you received any pricing? The US website is still on the 25MY. Just curious to see how much the base price increased for the 26MY.

And the current recessed taillights on my ‘22 seem to attract and gather a lot of road dust and grit. Feels like I’m always poking a rag into the corners of them to keep them clean. Can’t wait to read more about them and see more media pics before roll-out. Eager to see interior changes, too.
Agreed - my tail lights are always filled with either dirt or snow...not optimal and I prefer the cleaner look of new ones

It's not like the taillights on Series or Defender Land Rovers were originally recessed. I don't mind the flush mounted taillights, and I love the new green. I lament the slow fading away of actual utility, which is being replaced by silly **** that looks like it's inspired by Korean SUV's.
