The rear seats can be lowered by a push of a button. You can also open the tailgate from the inside!
5V USB charging ports on both sides of the boot (in the small storage box at the rear window))
the boot floor extension – gets in the way when the tailgate is closed, but handy when open
Frequently asked questions:
Can you sleep in a Land Rover Discovery?
Yes, you can – its boot isn’t the longest or tallest compared to other SUVs in our database, but you can get up to 202cm x 122cm maximum sleeping area (with the front seats pushed all the way to the back and rear seats folded down) – which is quite something! You will need to build some support between the front and middle seats mind you. Or you just fold the seats down to get a 175cm x 122cm sleeping area, which is still good enough for sleeping for most people. The seats fold down completely flat, the boot width is actually one of the widest among SUVs and the car is very luxurious overall. The boot is about 84cm tall, pretty average for an SUV.

Is the Land Rover Discovery any good/reliable?
The Land Rover Discovery has been generally well-regarded for its off-road capabilities, luxurious interior, and versatile design. However, when it comes to reliability, Land Rover vehicles, including the Discovery, have had a mixed reputation.
Land Rovers, in general, have been known to experience reliability issues and have scored below average in some reliability surveys and consumer reports. Common problems have included electronic glitches, engine issues, and various mechanical faults. These issues could result in costly repairs and maintenance, which might be a concern for some potential buyers.
However, it’s essential to note that reliability can vary depending on the model year and how well the vehicle has been maintained by previous owners. Land Rover has made efforts to improve reliability over the years, and newer models might have fewer problems compared to older ones.
To get the most up-to-date and accurate information on the Land Rover Discovery’s reliability, I recommend checking recent consumer reports, owner reviews, and expert opinions. These sources can provide real-world insights into the vehicle’s performance and reliability based on more recent data and experiences. Additionally, if you decide to purchase a used Land Rover Discovery, consider getting a comprehensive inspection from a trusted mechanic before making the purchase to identify any potential issues.
Which camping boxes are compatible?
The Land Rover Discovery is confirmed to work well with these camping boxes:
Egoe Nest camping box (Tramp + Supertramp models)
Treecars.de camping box
Ellocamping.de camping box
Ququq D-box camping box
But make sure you check whether it fits your car model and it’s exact boot measurements.
Or you can make one yourself (it’s for an older version of the Land Rover).
