Family car review: 2019 Land Rover Discovery

This is one of the few seven-seaters I've tested that actually has five top tether anchorages and four sets of ISOFix points! So it's a seven-seater that can actually seat seven!! Woop Woop!! I could install five child seats in the Discovery: three forward-facing seats fitted across the second row, which was great, and another two fitted in the third-row.

I could sit between two child seats in the second row and I'm 162cm. Accessing the third-row seats means you do have to uninstall at least one child seat in order to bring the second-row seatback forward and climb through. I suppose you could leave the central position empty and bring the seat-back forward so the kids climb through. If you don't have the cream leather upholstery of the one I tested!!

Legroom in the Discovery we found was good but not the best. With a rear-facing child seat in the second row, a 182cm passenger can sit in front and a same-sized passenger can just about go at the back as well. They have toe room and headroom but not lots of knee room in the third row.

Storage inside the cabin is very good; the third row has excellent storage, USBs and usable sized cup holders. The second row has two 12V sockets, the door bins and cup holders are thoughtfully sized and double map pockets and wells mean there are plenty of crevices for kids to tuck things into!!

In the front, the central console houses practical cup holders, a large storage box and phone tray as well as plenty of 12V and USB points. And then there's the double glove box, glasses case and practical front door bins!

In the boot the storage is VERY minimal when using all seven seats. Especially with the retractable roller blind stowed creating an uneven boot floor. There is however an electric flap that folds up to keep the contents in place.

When only using five seats the boot space is fantastic and you could carry a large dog around in the back. I found eighteen shopping bags fitted or all types of stroller fitted in the boot, with good amounts of shopping bags beside them.

One of my favourite features about the Discovery is that you can raise and lower the height of the car, making loading and unloading the boot easier. I also found this useful when driving under my low garage door.
