When the new defender was announced, the press leaks all talked of an 8 seater set up. But now it’s released I can’t see this is possible? On the builder you can only select either the 6-seat or the 7-seat. Is there a reason LR won’t allow 8 seat configuration? Essentially it’s just the front boost seat optioned with the standard 5+2 so couldn’t see why this would be a problem? Any ideas?

I can see why they ditched it. Would have meant the vehicle needed to be a lot bigger and lets face they weren't going to fit side inward side facing seats in 2020 were they?
How so? Is it not just the 7seat version (already available) with the jump seat where the front arm rest goes (already available) ?

So the 7seat option with this opted:
