Looking for a midsize SUV that’s equally capable on- and off-road and doesn’t skimp on luxury? The new Land Rover Defender and Land Rover Discovery are two options that should be high on your list. However, one of these vehicles will be better suited to your Newport Beach and Irvine driving needs. In this guide, Land Rover Newport Beach compares both options so you can answer that all-important question: Will the Land Rover Defender or Discovery claim a coveted spot in your driveway?
There is a slight price difference between the Land Rover Defender and Land Rover Discovery. The 2023 Land Rover Defender 90 is the base-level, two-door trim, and it comes with a starting price of $54,000. The new Land Rover Discovery, on the other hand, is a bit bigger and comes standard with three rows of seating, so it has a higher starting MSRP of $56,600.

While either vehicle gives you extensive cabin space, the Discovery is equipped with three rows of seating as a standard feature. With the Defender, only the four-door Defender 110 offers an optional third row. So, then, which is bigger, the Land Rover Defender or Discovery? The Discovery body is a little longer from front to back.
And what about cargo? Here are the differences between the Land Rover Defender and Land Rover Discovery cargo volumes:

Let’s take a look at the engine options of the Defender vs. Discovery:
