I doubt that you will see any until deliveries have started, nobody has received a 90 yet except the JLR PR team, so I would imagine February at the very earliest before you see any “privateer” videos - also depends on the COVID rules where you live. Where I am, making a video about my new Defender wouldn’t be considered an essential journey......... even though I live in the back of beyond and have access to private land to drive I’m still in Tier 4.

This is what worries me! I had one of the first Evoques (put my deposit down over a year before I got it) and it was a nightmare. I swore I'd never again buy a brand new LR. I waited as long as I could and only put my order in a couple of weeks ago. I'm hoping with their experience of the 110 and a few months of building the 90, most of the issues will have been ironed out before I get my 90 (due in April). |

Here is a really good video of the 90 interior
I’ve been worried about photos I’ve seen were the rear seats don’t fold flat, however watching this video I think I’ve discovered that if you have the jump seat fitted, then it doesn’t give enough clearance for the seats to fold down past the back of the jump seat, so they don’t fold flat. (You can see this in the P400 shots as this has the jump seat). Without the jump seat, then rear seats can clear the centre console and they are able to fold flat, as shown in the P300 interior shots. Think this clears it up, and for me a big sigh of relief as I was getting anxious that the seats can’t fold flat!! |

Except the one I viewed didn’t have the jump seat, in fact it had nothing in between the front seats and the outcome is the same.

Hmmm must be some other factor then... there is clearly a difference between how flat the rear seats fold in the two vehicles shown in the video. My assumption was that the jump seat was the cause, but maybe it’s the headrests? Perhaps the head rests need to be removed to enable the seats to fold flat?

I think headrests removed then the seat backs can be pushed down and locked into place.
For me the 90 is a compromise but it’s the only one that I want to own. I’m sure my 2 dogs will understand  24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue |

I guess we will have to wait until delivery of our own vehicles to find out the true situation! Hopefully with time there will be aftermarket accessories and solutions to overcome some of the compromises 👍

Having ordered the 90, I have now decided it's not the right one for me - I need the 110.
Great. Here comes the argument with the dealer... |

Get talking to the dealer ASAP as year end bonuses are due for dealerships and salespeople - see if you can find a car in stock that suits - also you stand a better chance on a run out 4 cylinder if that doesn’t matter to you, D240 is a fine engine but I wouldn’t be tempted into a D200 4 cylinder.

The dealer were fine and have thankfully changed my order. 110 D250 instead of 90 P300. Talk about a complete change of mind! Delivery around end of March apparently. |
