Put all seven seats up (there are versions of the Discovery Sport with five seats), and the space shrinks to just about enough for a couple of shopping bags.
Nonetheless, with all seats folded down and loaded to the roof, you can squeeze as much as 1,698 litres in, which is slightly better than, say, a Volvo V90 estate.
Still good, but not as impressive as it sounds at first. Hang on though – Land Rover takes that measurement as being from floor to roof, not up to the window line (as is more common), where it’s more like 500-odd-litres. With the third row of seats folded into the floor, the boot holds a whopping 981 litres. The Discovery Sport, with a couple of caveats, is hugely practical.
