The Discovery and Discovery Sport are popular models on the Newark roads due to their versatile performance, family-friendly design, and elevated luxury. But drivers searching for their next premium SUV need to know: What’s the difference between the 2025 Discovery and the 2025 Discovery Sport? Compare the Discovery vs. Discovery Sport with this guide from Land Rover Wilmington to discover which SUV has the power and space you need for your busy Middletown lifestyle. 

2025 Discovery Sport vs. Discovery: Seating & Cargo Space

One of the most significant differences between the Discovery and Discovery Sport is the room inside the cabin. The Discovery Sport was designed as a more compact version of the Discovery, reducing the original model’s three-row seating down to two. Still, both provide ample space for passengers to sit back and relax on every drive and plenty of cargo room for all your luggage, shopping bags, or sporting gear. See how much space you can expect in each model’s cabin in the dimension breakdown below:

  • Seating Capacity: 5 passengers 
  • Headroom with Standard Roof (Front/Rear): 39.5 inches / 38.7 inches
  • Headroom with Panoramic Roof (Front/Rear): 40.2 inches / 38.7 inches
  • Maximum Legroom (Front/Rear): 39.1 inches / 38.1 inches
  • Maximum Cargo Space (Behind Rear/Front Rows): 32.2 cubic feet / 60 cubic feet

2025 Discovery Standard Interior Dimensions

  • Seating Capacity: 7 passengers 
  • Maximum Headroom (Front/Middle/Rear): 40 inches / 39 inches / 37.9 inches
