Land Rover Discovery (2017) preview: Seven-seat family disco

The British star of the Paris Motor Show 2016 was undoubtedly the new Land Rover Discovery.

You’ll be aware that there’s already a Discovery Sport, but big brother Discovery promises to do more than it’s sibling – it’s more luxurious, more powerful, has more spaceā€¦ more everything.

Dimensions-wise, these changes mean that the new Discovery is 141mm longer than before (at 4970mm), and it’s got a longer wheelbase for better cabin volumes. But it’s also lower and narrower, which should make it wieldier in tight situations (such as multi-story car parks which sometimes proved the previous Discovery’s nemesis).

We got back there and can say that, headroom-wise, a six-footer fits in easily.
