Thanks for this info also. I have been trying to build a new discovery and couldn't figure it out on the webpage either!

One thing I saw mentioned in the Land Rover Youtube about the new discovery was the rear (2nd row?) seats were able to move back about 7" (160mm). That's a big feature for my family to gain more space. Interested to see that feature in Person. I'm a taller person! Maybe that feature exists on the 2020 models?

HSE model is out for us but maybe the "new" R Dynamic. Likely have to go with the 4cyl for savings. Interested to see the MPG updates with the 2 new motors as well.

Otherwise headroom/legroom etc dimensions seem similar to the 2020 so we might go drive one of those just to get a feel.

my wife prefers to sit up higher in the vehicle for visibility so we have ruled out alot of the other mid-sized SUV's we have tried thus far.

Thank you

The 2nd row has always been able to slide backwards and forwards, I can’t imagine they’ve added an additional 7” to that.
A few videos on YouTube have presented some features as being new for 2021 when they’re not...

Pretty much what I'm seeing... people reporting things as new... that aren't. Besides the engines, pivi, and utilitarian looking wheel and shifter from Defender. All the exterior R stuff was dynamic/landmark stuff previously... and we can't get nice selective projection LED headlamps in the US anyway

huh, just noticed this today, they've dropped the gloss black rims for 20" tires for 2021, you have to go to 21" or 22". hmmm, not sure I like that.

I had to order one. They only had one 2020 on the lot, and I drove it early December. The good news is that they appear to be motivated to sell. Gave me $2000 off msrp without a fuss. Probably should have offered less!

i was told 3-4 months once production starts. They had no further information. All the magazines have been saying Feb-Mar. I don’t believe them.

I was playing with the "build your own" configurator today and noticed on the new 2021 model the vintage tan interior is no longer an option on the 6-cylinder model. I get so many compliments on the vintage tan interior color on my 2020 model; I am surprised they dropped it. This is a similar color (but not the same) in the 4-cylinder called "caraway" but that is not available in the 6-cylinder. I wonder why they dropped that as an optional interior color.
