5 Seater Question

Hi there

with the 5 seater, do the rear seats fold completely flat?
All the Discoverys I see in pictures or at the dealer are 7 seaters and their seats do fold flat. But the 5 seater?

Thanks for information....

Jolly

Hello jolly jumper and welcome. I think they fold flat as there is no reason not too. However many of us have yet to see a 5 seater as it is a bit rare. There are a couple of guys on site with them and one is a commercial adaptation, so from his, I am sure they will fold flat.

They fold flat , seat up first then backs down. Like most hatchbacks.

Based on the above thread am I correct in thinking that the seats fold differently in the 5 seater to the way they do in the 7 seater.

Getting close to order time and I am still not sure what to go for seat wise, if I choose the base over the SE, as I don’t need the 7 seats.

The best price I have found so far for a SE diesel/manual is £34k for a grey import with full UK SE Spec. Anyone found any better?

Yes they do. The others fold the backsupport forward onto the squab and the whole seat then lowers to the floor level. The 5 seater is like most other cars with the seat squab lifting forward against the front seats and the back rest folding to the floor.

Sorry about a little late reply, but found this exellent forum just last night. I ordered my first LR ( disco3 ) 2 days ago. I did a lot of research before ordering my disco3 ( I have a Toyota Land Cruiser now ). I ordered a SE 5 seat version, but I don´t like the way 2nd row seat folds in 5 seat version. So I called to the Finnish LR importer and they told me that if I order the comfort package ( 017AE ) which includes ( at least here in Finland ) 30/30/35 folding 2nd row seats, makeup mirrors with lights, cargo net, 3rd mug holder in front, for 680€.
That way You have a 5 seat version with 2nd row seats folding like 7 seat version.
