With all seven seats in use
6.1 cu ft behind the third row -- enough for a few soft bags or a grocery run, not a full set of luggage for seven people.
01 / Engine Choice
Two Engines, Two Different Towing Numbers
The Discovery's engine choice changes more than acceleration -- it changes how much it can tow, properly equipped, and which trims it's paired with.
| Engine | Output | Max towing |
|---|---|---|
| P300 | 296 hp / 295 lb-ft, 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 | Up to 5,952 lbs. |
| P360 | 355 hp / 369 lb-ft, 3.0L inline-6 mild hybrid | Up to 8,200 lbs. |
Reference: manufacturer-published Discovery engine and towing specifications. Towing figures require the vehicle to be properly equipped with the appropriate tow package.
02 / Seating & Cargo
Seven Seats, No 5-Seat Option
Every Discovery sold in the US comes with a third row as standard -- there's no 5-seat configuration to choose instead, regardless of trim or engine.
Folding rows down
32.6 cu ft with the third row folded (second row still in use), growing to 70.5 cu ft with both rear rows folded flat.
Reference: Discovery cargo specifications by measurement point. A properly equipped Discovery with the service team can confirm the exact cargo and towing configuration on a specific vehicle.
For a Kansas City family towing a camper or a boat to the Lake of the Ozarks with all seven seats in use, the P360's 8,200-lb rating leaves more margin than the P300's 5,952-lb figure -- worth weighing against the price difference between the two engines.
Seven seats is the standard Discovery, not an upgrade -- the real choice for a Kansas City family is which engine fits how much towing is actually needed.
03 / Trim Ladder
What Actually Changes Between Trims
Beyond the engine split, each trim adds its own exterior treatment and equipment -- not just a badge, and the price gap between adjacent trims buys real, specific differences.
| Trim | Starting MSRP | What's different |
|---|---|---|
| P300 S | $60,200 | Electronic air suspension, Terrain Response 2, Meridian audio, 3D surround-view camera, and the full Pivi Pro software suite standard. |
| P300 Dynamic SE | $64,600 | Same engine as the S, with a blacked-out exterior treatment -- darkened grille, mirror caps, roof rails, badging, and tail lights -- plus Dynamic-specific wheels. |
| P360 Gemini Edition | $70,800 | Steps up to the P360 engine; adds four-zone climate control, a gesture-operated tailgate, an interior refrigerator, and premium interior trim. |
| P360 Tempest Edition | $83,500 | Top trim; distinguished by a copper-colored roof and matte exterior finish. |

04 / Standard Safety Tech
What's Standard On Every Discovery
The same driver-assist suite ships on every trim, not just the top of the lineup -- a family buying the base P300 S gets the identical safety hardware as the top-spec Tempest Edition.
Driving aids
Adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning, front and rear parking sensors, a 360-degree surround-view camera system, Traffic Sign Recognition, and an Adaptive Speed Limiter all ship standard.
Off-road and low-speed aids
Hill Descent Control, Hill Launch Assist, and ClearSight Ground View (an under-hood camera feed showing the ground directly beneath the front wheels) are standard across every trim, alongside a full set of 8 airbags covering driver, passenger, side curtain, and thorax protection throughout the cabin.
05 / Quick Answers
Discovery FAQs
What Kansas City families ask most before buying a Discovery.
Does the Discovery seat 7?
Yes -- every Discovery sold in the US seats 7 as standard. There's no separate 5-seat configuration offered.
How much can a Discovery tow?
Up to 5,952 lbs with the P300 engine, or up to 8,200 lbs with the P360 engine, properly equipped with the appropriate tow package.
What trims does the Discovery come in?
Current Discovery trims include the P300 S, P300 Dynamic SE, P360 Gemini Edition, and P360 Tempest Edition -- each pairs a specific engine with its own styling and equipment package.
Where can I see Discovery inventory in Kansas City?
Land Rover Kansas City carries current Discovery inventory -- browse what's on the lot now or contact the team to ask about a specific trim or engine.
What's the difference between the Discovery and Discovery Sport?
The Discovery seats 7 as standard on every configuration. The smaller Discovery Sport seats 5 as standard, with a third row available as an option -- a meaningful difference for a family that always needs all seven seats.
Does the Discovery have adaptive cruise control standard?
Yes -- adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning, and a 360-degree surround-view camera all ship standard on every Discovery trim, not just the top of the lineup.
Does the Discovery come with a tow hitch?
A factory tow package is available on the Discovery and includes Advanced Tow Assist, which uses the Terrain Response 2 dial to control a hitched trailer's trajectory while reversing -- a separate feature from the hitch-coupling display that helps line up the tow ball itself. Ask the team to confirm a specific vehicle is equipped with the tow package before assuming it's included.
