Discovery Cargo Features & Versatility

Intelligent Seat Fold

Configure your second and third-row seats using switches in the loadspace, via the main touchscreen, or even remotely via your smartphone to make room for bulky items instantly.

Powered Inner Tailgate

A practical fold-down section of the trunk helps retain loose items when opening the main tailgate, and doubles as a sturdy seating platform for outdoor events or putting on muddy boots.

Auto Access Height

Utilizing the electronic air suspension, the Discovery can lower its rear height at the push of a button in the cargo area, making it significantly easier to load heavy luggage or for dogs to jump in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Land Rover Discovery have a power tailgate?
Yes, the Land Rover Discovery is available with a powered gesture tailgate. This allows you to open and close the trunk simply by performing a kicking motion under either side of the rear bumper—ideal for when your hands are full of groceries or luggage.
Do the rear seats fold completely flat in the Discovery?
Yes, both the second and third rows of the Land Rover Discovery can fold completely flat. This creates a seamless, expansive load floor that is perfect for sliding in large, bulky items without catching on seat edges.
Which Land Rover has the most cargo space?
The Range Rover (specifically in the Long Wheelbase configuration) offers the highest total cargo volume in the lineup. However, the Discovery and Defender 110 follow very closely and are often preferred by active families for their more utilitarian, boxy cargo areas that easily accommodate taller items.
How much fits behind the 3rd row in the Discovery?
With the third row upright, the Discovery provides approximately 9.1 cubic feet of cargo space. This is enough room for a row of standard grocery bags or a couple of slim duffel bags, keeping the essentials secure while carrying seven passengers.
