3+1 seating. 3 across the front 1 in the back. Wonder if the driver sits in the middle like in the prototype land rover?

Hmmm, still huge in comparision, just not as huge.
More tempting than the other variants though, as it's closer to the original design.

Indeed. Especially since it will be similar height and width to the full-sized Bini
