July 05 2023,
As the summer vacation of 2023 rolls around, Canadian roads are poised to welcome some truly roomy and comfortable automotive companions. As Land Rover and Range Rover—the prestigious British automakers—continue to command the SUV segment, we delve deep into the cabin spaces of their latest models currently for sale in Canada. Today, we explore the vast expanses of the Defender, Discovery, Range Rover, and Range Rover Sport.
Land Rover Defender
Revamped in 2020 and now standing as an enduring icon of off-road prowess and durability, the Defender hasn’t lost sight of comfort. The current model generously hosts five passengers with the 5-seating configuration in the 130 variant. However, the true testament to its spaciousness lies in the remarkable 1,094 litres of cargo space behind the second row, expandable to a whopping 2,078 litres with the rear seats folded. This makes it an ideal companion for cross-country expeditions or family camping trips into the Canadian wilderness.
Land Rover Discovery
Crowning the Land Rover lineup with its unique blend of luxury and versatility, the Discovery hosts a standard three-row seating for up to seven passengers. Moreover, the Discovery offers more than just seating space. It features 1,274 litres of cargo space behind the second row, which expands to 2,104 litres with the second and third rows folded. The practicality of Discovery's cargo space, coupled with its plush interior and tech-packed cabin, makes it a favourite among large families and adventure enthusiasts alike.
Range Rover
Moving to the more opulent side of the spectrum, the flagship Range Rover is a remarkable emblem of British luxury. It offers room for five passengers in its standard setup, but the optional Executive Class seating provides an even more luxurious four-seat configuration with an emphasis on the second-row legroom and comfort. While the cargo capacity of 1,153 litres may seem lesser compared to its siblings, the Range Rover more than compensates with its first-class amenities, exquisite materials, and regal aesthetics.
Range Rover Sport
Finally, we arrive at the Range Rover Sport, a luxurious five-seater. The Sport offers 646 litres of cargo space behind the second row, expandable to 1,492 litres. While it may not boast the same cargo space as the Defender or Discovery, it offers a balanced blend of sporty dynamics, striking design, and ample interior space.
To conclude, all four models bring something unique to the table. The Defender and Discovery are for those who require ample cargo space and seating capacity without compromising on comfort or off-road capabilities. Meanwhile, the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport offer a more luxurious take on spaciousness, with an emphasis on passenger comfort, style, and high-end amenities. So, whether you're planning a family road trip or seeking an upscale drive for city commutes, Land Rover and Range Rover's current lineup has you covered in spades.
