The Defender X comes with the gloss black lower trim
In that spec (satin paint) it's north of £91k. Quite a long vehicle at over 5m, struggle to fit into spacessvensktoppen

It's a massive car the new Defender, even makes an XC90 look compact, lol 
That's one of the reasons I'd prefer the two-door myself, looks less Discovery too. But obviously four doors is more practical for most people.
In so far as you can use the word "practical" in any real sense of the word next to these cars

That’s the issue I have with the 5 door just looks like another jeep.It's a massive car the new Defender, even makes an XC90 look compact, lol

The 2 door on steel wheels looks far better.

I like them with the arch extensions. Don’t look finished like that imo
What’s different about an X?

They come in "basic", "x-dynamic", and "x".
Just trim packages.
Then 90/110 sizes (2/4 door).
And finally a selection of engines.

@saxo_man probably
To be honest I spent a lot of time on the configurator from May until September. The choices and options changed on a weekly basis for the MY22 model. You could spec up a certain car and then a week later discover that those options are no longer possible. But there was fair bit of choice for the MY22 car compared to now. When it moved to MY23, the options have become much more thinned out. For example leather seats arent available now in some models.
As Sven says you basically start by choosing either commercial or normal, and either 90 or 110. After that you choose the trim level. @davyk31 the X does include all the off-road stuff as standard. I specd mine with the same Electronic Active Differential because it cant be retrofitted, but just the standard terrain response software as it's adequate. The XS is probably the best balance between spec and price if you dont mind the colour coded bits.

Just get the V8 and be done 
It's never going to be an efficient or economical car anyway, might as well go all in

Spent a lot of time fishing and swimming there when I was younger, and once I got my driving test it was visited a few more times
