    Well the spare tyre is in the right spot,

    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    Spare tyre for some reason seems to make it look ugly.

    Departure and approach angles seem very good,and the pic is not at extended height.

    To me that looks like a modified D4 test mule designed to test various components - I very much doubt that the bodywork of the new vehicle will look like that.

    Clearly, to me at least, the rear suspension is IRS as you can see what appears to be a shock leg above the rear wishbone. As well in one of the side on shots under FR wheel arch you can make out what appears to be a mcpherson strut setup. So if I am on the right track this mule does not have EAS which is no surprise as there was always the probability the car would be coming with different suspension setups for different markets

    Will be interesting to see where it all goes I am sure. This mule appears to be different from the first one and now with the addition of the missing spare wheel which was not on the first spy shots. Location looks about right and clearly it can't go under the car and will never go on the bonnet so the rear door it clearly seems to be. Just hope the mount will be strong enough

    Land Rover already officially verified it will be on a D5 / RRS platform. Same exact suspension.

    Well it’s got a good departure angle with that little bobtail rear end, but load space looks like it’ll be limited, unless there’s a long wheel base version as well.

    There will no doubt be multiple suspension options, air/non/svx longer travel (like svx disco)

    Just because its using same platform doesn't mean the susp has to be identical.
