Defender vs. Discovery: Interior Room

Another key difference when comparing the Defender vs. Discovery is the seating capacity and interior space. The two-door Defender 90 does well for your family if you do not think you will need space for more than five passengers for drives around Westmont. However, if you have more than five passengers, consider higher trims of the Defender or the Discovery. Either way, there is plenty of room for passengers and cargo.
