Check out the video. You get to see a clear image of the car. And those seats are very useful too.

Not that I could see (fold down flap).
But, on a +ve note, it's got reasonable sunroofs and the rear seats fold flat. However, the inside looks like a carbon copy of a Disco Sport, which isn't so good.2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄

Looks like the middle seat in the 2nd row isn't full/nearl full size. Not ideal for those with 3 growing kids.MY16 D4 Graphite in Loire Blue

How thick are those pillars! Makes the windows look tiny and gives it that dark DS feel.

The middle row seating is a bit of a surprise. I would have expected 3 full size seats.
Perhaps the middle one has a Volvo style child-seat built in?2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

Yep! If that's what they call a "milestone in convenience" then it's off road provisions will probably total a sponge to clean it afterwards.
Also, "technological innovation"? Not sure using a phone app to trigger a few motors is all that innovative either. Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC

My kids are well past child seat days aged 11, 9 and 9.
Wonder if the electric seats are a fancy option and you can have old school that gives back the middle seat. Yeh yeh I know it's a long shot, I never thought for a second the middle seat was in jeopardy this is on a par with the tailgate saga MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten
