Land Rover cargo space Every current model compared
Trunk space varies more across the Land Rover lineup than most shoppers expect — from a 21.6 cu ft Evoque to an 83.5 cu ft Range Rover with the seats folded. Here's the full seats-up versus seats-down breakdown for every current body style, straight from manufacturer-published figures.

01 / Quick answer
The Range Rover carries the most cargo of any current Land Rover with its rear seats folded — but the margin over the Defender 110 is close.
Range Rover tops the lineup at 83.5 cu ft with the second row folded flat, just ahead of Defender 110's 78.8 cu ft. With all seats in use, Range Rover also leads at 40.7 cu ft behind the second row.
Every figure below comes directly from Land Rover's own published specifications and is reported two ways: cargo space with all seats up (behind the last row passengers actually use) and cargo space with the rear seats folded down. The two numbers can differ by a factor of three or more on the same vehicle, so comparing one without the other is how shoppers end up surprised at pack-up time.
Read the configuration note, too. Several models offer an optional third row that changes the seats-up figure — check the subnotes in the dataset below before comparing two vehicles directly.
02 / The full dataset
Every current Land Rover body style, seats up and seats down, in cubic feet.
| Model | Standard seating | Cargo — seats up | Cargo — rear seats folded |
|---|---|---|---|
| Defender 90 | 5 seats | 15.6 cu ft Behind 2nd row | 58.3 cu ft |
| Defender 110 | 5 seats 7-seat available | 34.0 cu ft Behind 2nd row | 78.8 cu ft |
| Defender 130 | 8 seats, 3 rows | 15.3 cu ft Behind 3rd row | 35.8 cu ft 3rd row folded; 2nd row still up |
| Discovery | 7 seats, 3 rows | 6.1 cu ft Behind 3rd row | 70.5 cu ft 2nd & 3rd rows folded |
| Discovery Sport | 5 seats 7-seat available | 32.2 cu ft Behind 2nd row | 60.0 cu ft |
| Range Rover | 5 seats 7-seat LWB available | 40.7 cu ft Behind 2nd row | 83.5 cu ft |
| Range Rover Sport | 5 seats | 31.9 cu ft Behind 2nd row | 53.0 cu ft |
| Range Rover Velar | 5 seats | 30.9 cu ft Behind 2nd row | 62.7 cu ft |
| Range Rover Evoque | 5 seats | 21.6 cu ft Behind 2nd row | 50.5 cu ft |
Configuration changes the number. Adding a third row to a Defender 110, Discovery Sport, or Range Rover reduces usable cargo behind the last occupied row versus the standard 5-seat figures shown here. Confirm the exact configuration on any vehicle before comparing it to this table.
Defender 130's full-fold maximum isn't published. Land Rover's own figures for folding both the second and third rows don't resolve to one consistent number across its current materials, so the 35.8 cu ft shown above is third-row-folded, second-row-up capacity only — not a true seats-fully-folded maximum the way every other row in this table is.
03 / How it's measured
Both figures matter, but they answer different questions — one about everyday packing, the other about a vehicle's true ceiling.
Cargo volume behind the last row of seats actually in use — the number that matters for a normal trip with passengers aboard. On a 3-row model, this is measured behind the third row with all seats occupied, which is why Discovery's 6.1 cu ft figure looks small next to a 2-row SUV's.
Cargo volume with the rearmost folding row (or rows) laid flat, measured to the roofline. This is the figure to compare when the question is maximum hauling capacity rather than everyday trunk space with the family along.
Golf clubs for a round in Lakeland, dive and fishing gear headed to the coast, and the extra luggage that comes with flights out of Tampa or Orlando all compete for the same cargo floor. Knowing the seats-down number in advance avoids a packing surprise.
A model's seats-down volume also sets how much bottled water, plywood, or generator fuel can ride along in a single trip when storm prep means one run instead of several.
04 / Which fits your gear
Maximum cubic feet isn't the only variable — how often you need the third row matters just as much.

05 / Frequently asked
Quick answers to what shoppers ask most when comparing trunk space across the lineup.
The Range Rover offers the most cargo volume in the current lineup at 83.5 cu ft with the second row folded flat, narrowly ahead of the Defender 110 at 78.8 cu ft. With all seats in use, Range Rover also leads at 40.7 cu ft behind the second row.
The Discovery offers 70.5 cu ft with both the second and third rows folded flat. With all seven seats in use, that drops to 6.1 cu ft behind the third row.
"Seats up" is the cargo space behind the last row of seats actually in use, measured with passengers aboard. "Seats down" is the cargo space with the rearmost folding row (or rows) laid flat, which represents the vehicle's maximum hauling capacity rather than everyday trunk space.
The Range Rover Evoque has the smallest cargo volume in the current lineup: 21.6 cu ft behind the second row with seats up, and 50.5 cu ft with the second row folded.
With all seats in use, the Defender 130 offers more room behind its third row at 15.3 cu ft versus 6.1 cu ft for the Discovery. Folding the third row opens 35.8 cu ft in the Defender 130, while folding both rear rows in the Discovery reaches 70.5 cu ft.

Data & verification
Cargo figures are cross-checked across multiple Land Rover-authorized dealer specification pages reflecting Land Rover's own published cubic-foot measurements for each current body style, rather than a single secondary source. Configuration (seating layout, roof option, and factory equipment) can shift a specific vehicle's figure slightly from the published baseline — confirm the exact specification on any vehicle being purchased.
