The interior is spacious and airy, thanks to large windows, a wheelbase 14 inches longer than the current Discovery, and two overhead sunroofs. The instrument panel is clean, modern, and in keeping with the geometric exterior design. Controls are good sized, tactile, and significantly more intuitively arrayed than Land Rovers of the past.
The interior seating arrangements are versatile. The second-row seats fold down into the foot well, leaving a perfectly flat surface. The third-row seats, if so equipped, can also fold flat, creating a six-foot load floor. Each rear seat folds independently, leaving numerous seating/cargo options.
The cabin is thoughtfully endowed with four glove boxes, readily accessible stash zones and numerous drink holders. Flip-down grab handles are located at all four doors. These are clearly intended to be used, as they are substantial and fit the hand comfortably. Four other grab points are built in as part of the front seat headrests, meaning that there is always something comfortable to hang on to or pull in on. We found these especially useful when negotiating dirt roads and uneven surfaces.
