Most three-row SUVs force a compromise. Passengers in the third row sit hunched, or cargo space collapses the moment a full family climbs in. The 2027 Discovery is built around a 115.08-inch wheelbase that gives each row a legitimate allocation of space.
Front headroom reaches 40 inches and front legroom measures 39.1 inches, numbers that reflect a cabin designed for the driver first. Second-row passengers have 39.01 inches of headroom and 37.4 inches of legroom. Third-row headroom is 37.9 inches with 33.5 inches of legroom. Those dimensions allow adult-sized occupants to ride in the third row on trips that extend beyond a few city blocks.
The cargo numbers reinforce that commitment. Behind the third row, 8.8 cu. ft. is available for carry-on bags and a weekend bag. Fold the third row and that volume expands to 42.01 cu. ft. behind the second row. Fold both rear rows and the Discovery delivers 74.30 cu. ft. of flat, usable cargo floor.
Every Discovery S arrives with 60:40 electric folding rear seats, meaning the second row drops with a button press rather than a manual tug. The Discovery Landmark and Discovery Tempest carry the same electric second-row fold.
The third row varies by model. The Discovery S includes manual third row seats. The Discovery Tempest upgrades to electric third row seats, a meaningful difference when you are reconfiguring the cabin curbside with luggage in hand.
The cargo floor is a standard load floor across all three models. Tie-downs and hooks are fitted in the cargo space on every Discovery, so loose items stay organized rather than shifting on the 115-inch wheelbase during cornering. A 12V USB charging socket is fitted in the cargo area as well, keeping devices charged while gear is loaded.
The powered tailgate is standard on the Discovery S. The Discovery Landmark and Discovery Tempest step up to a powered gesture tailgate, opened by a foot motion beneath the bumper when both hands are carrying bags. The Discovery Tempest adds a powered inner tailgate as well, which covers the cargo area independently of the main hatch.
A cargo space cover is included on every model to conceal contents from view when the vehicle is parked.
Second-row seating folds 60:40 electrically. Third row is manual. Heated front seats are standard. The powered tailgate is included. Cargo cover and tie-downs are standard. The 18-way electric driver memory seat keeps the cabin configured for the primary driver without adjustment when another household member has been driving.
Adds Four-zone Climate Control, which allows rear passengers to manage their own temperature independently. This is a meaningful comfort factor for third-row occupants on longer journeys. The powered gesture tailgate replaces the standard powered unit. All cargo hardware from the Discovery S carries forward.
Electric third row seats replace the manual units, changing how quickly the cargo floor can be reconfigured. Heated and cooled front seats are standard, heated and cooled rear seats are included, and heated third row seats are fitted. Cabin Air Purification Plus maintains air quality throughout all three rows. The powered inner tailgate is added. This model provides the most complete cargo and seating specification in the Discovery lineup.

A 115.08-inch wheelbase and 74.30 cu. ft. of maximum cargo space translate to concrete day-to-day advantages.
School runs with three children seat two in the second row and one in the third, leaving room behind the third row for bags without rearranging. Weekend trips with sporting equipment or ski gear for a family of five are handled by folding the third row and loading into 42.01 cu. ft. of flat floor behind the second row. Costco runs, a recurring test for any three-row SUV, benefit from the 55.60-inch cargo width and a 43.35-inch depth behind the second row.
For clients in Grand Rapids who travel north toward Traverse City or the Upper Peninsula, an 8,200 lb. maximum tow rating means a boat or camper attaches to the same vehicle that carries the family. That combination, seven-passenger seating plus serious tow capacity, narrows the field considerably.
The 35.43-inch maximum wading depth adds a capability dimension that no minivan matches. Whether the destination is a lakeside campsite in northern Michigan or a muddy trailhead, the three-row cabin gets the whole group there.
Three-row luxury SUVs are a growing segment. The Discovery offers 74.30 cu. ft. of maximum cargo volume, paired with genuine third-row headroom of 37.9 inches, positioning it against competitors that often sacrifice one for the other.
The electric second-row fold, standard from the Discovery S entry point, is a feature some rivals reserve for higher model grades. The powered gesture tailgate on Discovery Landmark and Discovery Tempest addresses the practical frustration of managing a large hatch when hands are occupied.
The 8,200 lb. tow rating is a specification many three-row luxury crossovers do not reach. Buyers comparing options will find the Discovery occupies a distinct position: a fully capable three-row interior that does not require trading away off-road and towing ability to get there.
The 2027 Discovery brings 7-passenger seating, 74.30 cu. ft. of cargo capacity, and up to 8,200 lbs. of towing into one vehicle.

Land Rover of Grand Rapids carries current Discovery inventory and the team can walk through every configuration in person.
