Land Rover South Shore Models Featuring 3-Row Seating
MODELS WITH 3-ROW SEATING
Which Range Rover, Defender and Discovery SUVs Have Three Rows?
Three rows sound simple—until seven people arrive with seven people’s stuff. The third row that handles a Crown Point school pickup can feel very different when a weekend at the Indiana Dunes adds coolers, chairs, backpacks and luggage to the equation.
That is why the useful question is not merely, “Which SUVs have three rows?” It is, “Which one still works when everyone—and everything—comes along?”
The current U.S. lineup has five distinct answers. Defender 130 brings the most passenger capacity. Range Rover Long Wheelbase Seven Seats makes the full-cabin experience feel properly first class. Discovery gives families a natural seven-seat starting point, while Defender 110 and Discovery Sport keep two extra seats available through optional third-row configurations.

Range Rover Long Wheelbase Seven Seat
The Range Rover Long Wheelbase Seven Seat brings three-row capability to the most luxurious end of the Land Rover South Shore lineup. Because seven-passenger seating is tied to a specific long-wheelbase configuration, shoppers should distinguish the Range Rover model’s general starting MSRP from the starting price of the seven-seat version.
If seven-passenger seating is a requirement, compare pricing and availability specifically for the Range Rover Long Wheelbase Seven Seat rather than using the base Range Rover MSRP as the benchmark. Land Rover South Shore can help confirm current configurations, pricing, available inventory, and incoming vehicles before you make the trip.

Defender 130: Bring the People. Keep the Plan.
There are trips when “we’ll take two cars” feels like surrender. Defender 130 makes room for up to eight, giving it the highest potential passenger capacity in this group. Think tournament Saturday, an extended-family dinner or a Northwest Indiana weekend when the guest list grows faster than the plan.
Before falling in love with the number eight, check the build. Available Captain Chairs create a seven-seat layout, while Defender 130 Outbound is a five-seat model built around cargo rather than a third row. Every Defender 130 tells a slightly different story, and the window sticker settles it.
| UP TO 8 | UP TO 89 CU. FT. |

Defender 110: A Third Row for the Days You Need It
Most days, five seats are plenty—until they are not. A teammate needs a ride home. Cousins join dinner. One more person says, “Can I come?” Defender 110 can answer those moments with an optional third row and seating for up to seven.
The appeal is flexibility, but this is not a decision to make from a spreadsheet. Verify the configuration, raise every seat and see what remains for cargo. If adults will use the third row regularly, put an adult back there before deciding that the layout works for your routine.

Discovery: When Three Rows Are Part of the Routine
Discovery is for the family that does not want the third row to feel like emergency equipment. It is presented as a seven-seat SUV, making it a natural place to begin when school weeks, sports weekends and family trips regularly put every row to work.
Its published maximum cargo figure shows what is possible with seats folded. Your life may ask a harder question: what fits when seven people are coming too? Raise the third row, load the stroller, sports equipment or luggage, and judge the combination you will actually use.
| 7 | UP TO 74.3 CU. FT. |

Discovery Sport: Seven-Seat Flexibility in a Smaller Package
Not every seven-seat problem requires a large-SUV answer. Discovery Sport is the compact choice in this group and can seat up to seven when equipped with the optional Third Row package. It makes the most sense when everyday maneuverability matters and the extra seats are there for shorter or occasional trips.
The third row is not included in the published starting price shown above. Confirm the package on the exact vehicle, then stage the trip that matters: passengers in every seat and the usual gear behind them. A compact solution is only a solution when both halves of that equation work.

Compare Three Row Land Rover South Shore SUVs
Reading cargo figures and seating dimensions online is helpful, but folding the third row yourself and climbing into it can tell you much more. If you’re shopping for a three-row SUV for your family, bring the car seats, stroller, sports equipment, or other gear you regularly carry. Seeing how everything fits can make the difference between choosing a vehicle that works on paper and choosing one that works in everyday life.
Land Rover South Shore can help Northwest Indiana shoppers compare Discovery, Defender 110, Defender 130, and Range Rover seven-seat configurations side by side when inventory allows. Our team can also help you check available and incoming inventory or explore ordering options when the exact seating configuration you’re looking for isn’t currently available.
The right choice ultimately depends on how you plan to use the third row. Discovery makes sense for families who want standard seven-passenger versatility, Defender 130 provides seating for up to eight, Defender 110 offers a more compact alternative when you need the third row occasionally, and the Range Rover Long Wheelbase Seven Seat combines three-row practicality with flagship-level luxury. Come see the differences for yourself and choose the configuration that fits the people—and the life—you actually need to carry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Range Rover Sport have a third row?
No. The current U.S. Range Rover Sport lineup is a five-seat SUV. Shoppers who want seven seats within the Range Rover brand should compare Range Rover Long Wheelbase Seven Seats.
Which third rows should I compare for regular adult use?
Begin with the models whose manufacturers emphasize full passenger capacity: Range Rover Long Wheelbase Seven Seats is described for up to seven adults, Defender 130 can seat up to eight, and Discovery is presented as a seven-seat SUV. No specification can predict comfort for a particular person, so let the intended passenger test the access, legroom and seating position.
Which cargo number matters when every seat is occupied?
Maximum cargo volume shows how much room a vehicle can provide when seats are folded; it does not show the space left behind a raised third row. If you expect to travel with a full cabin, inspect that smaller area and test the largest item you regularly carry before comparing models.
