    Trying out the New Defender

    Just might bring the wife in and ask the sales person if he would let myself and the wife "try out the back" as I'd like to see if it was suitable for a romantic weekend away.
    That is something JLR didn't think of putting in the promotional blurb.
    In relation to the above, someone on Defender2 did point out to me that it does have a wipe clean interior

    One blatant error they made was not using the same seating arrangement as the D3/4 as from the videos i have seen the middle row doesn't fold completely flat.

    The 2nd row in the 110 5 seater do fold flat according to the pictures and the configurator graphics,
    not sure on the 5+2 config however, a number of people say they do not

    I think the non folding flat issue only arises with the 90 model. The 110 model seems to be O.K. in this respect.

    Watched a couple of videos of the 110 and they don't fold perfectly flat from what I've seen unless it was user error.

    Correct,a few vids have noted that they don't fold flat like the D4.

    I believe Zilch has it right. the 5 seater does fold flat using the same method as the D3/4 but the 7 seater does not. I believe this is because the second row seats on the 7 seater are able to slide forward whereas the 5 seater second row is fixed.

    Advantage of the 7 seater 2nd rows seats sliding forward is slightly more boot space with seats up if needed but disadvantage is no completely flat load space when seats are down.

    If in doubt RTFM:
