Default MY24 p300 how many aux radiators?

Got my P300 after 3+ month of waiting. Ordered with off-road package and it did come with rear locking diff and other stuff ordered at the first place.

My impression is that all P300 will come with TWO aux radiators, in addition to the main one.
Today, I was washing the bug- marks at the front part and I looked into the front wheel wells and noticed there is a radiator the passenger side and no radiator at the driver side (I am in Canada).

Not sure if this is the same for all MY24 P300 or just for mine.
Any one has any comment on this? I have not talked to the sales whom I bought it from.

Thanks in advance.

I believe the P300 has one and the P400 has two.

Learned something new. I was sure that the P300s only had one.

In model year 24, JLR produced the p300 with just one aux radiator, all previous p300s had 2.

My MY23.5 has dual aux radiators and two small fin-sets, not true radiators or not what we think of because there is no fluid.

Many thanks to everyone who chipped in.
Special thanks to Sarek for the information that JLR has made change to the design on the cooling system of 2.0 gas engine in our MY 2024 Defenders.

This change will certainly make the MY24 P300 different from all those earlier ones, in term of handling heavy or extreme engine load condition.
We may see more cases of overheating of P300 when it works hard (towing a trailer while climbing mountain for a while while the ambient temperature is higher).
The summer of 2024 is just beginning and we will have to wait and see.

I would recommend all the MY24 P300 owners to monitor the engine temperature. I know GAP tool is capable, at some cost. I also have a cheap OBDII device able to show engine temperature and a few other data (alternator volt, speed, rpm, gas consumption etc). I know that the modern cars have a graphic engine temp display, but I also know that this one is heavily manipulated to calm down the drivers. It would stay at the dead center while actual engine temp swinging in a wide range. To those people who want to know a bit more of how their engine temp changes, I strongly recommend to get you self such a device.
( an example link is here
Amazon Amazon
)

All the best to you all.
Again, many thanks to Sarek for the info, which JLR did not tell us.

No problem with 1 aux. radiator. Mine is a 90 of the first production week half December 2020.
Depending on the market JLR shipped them with 1 or 2 aux. radiators since the beginning.
If equiped with only 1 , 50% less chance on leaking 😀

P300 runs hot, yes, but one aux is definitely enough.
