So the 3D rear optics are lost, there will no longer be the possibility of fitting aftermarker darkening filters, the Checker textures are lost, I'm not just talking about the Octa, the location of the central screen is changed...which makes its installation more difficult and different... the logos in the center of the wheels are changed... they are such subtle changes that they seem more aimed at eliminating, making it more difficult and neutralizing the uncopyrighted Gadches from Asia..that a real and effective change... seems more to bother and hinder than to improve the appearance of the car!!

I know these things are subjective but I like the way they’ve approached this update.

It was about time they made some tweaks but they’ve done it without making big changes that will make my six-month old 90 look outdated. So many manufacturers make huge changes when they facelift a model that instantly dates the outgoing one.

Personally, I think the new screen size isn’t needed (and could be even more challenging to use behind the gearstick) and the updated ‘grips’ on the side of the bonnet don’t look as good as the current model. However, the smooth tail lights look great and the small update to the wheel hubs are a success (and I might treat myself to those!) 2025MY Defender 90 D250 X-Dynamic HSE | Santorini Black with Black Pack

l wonder if the new rear lights can be retrofitted to the old model. Come on Powerful U.K. let's see another one of your Youtube videos!

They've already tried to fit an Octa grille....it didn't fit.

Im pretty sure they have been moved to the screen, as even on the Octa photos you see a blank space….


I take that back, on some newly released images the old air suspension buttons can clearly be seen..
