The current Land Rover Discovery is 195.7″ long, 78.3″ wide, on a 115″ wheelbase, weighing 4,846 lb. Since 1995 it has grown 9% in length and gained 10% in weight. At 16.3 feet it fits a standard garage and fits a street parking space.
Every Land Rover Discovery generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1995–1998 | 178.7″ | 70.5″ | 77.6″ | 100″ | 4,387 lb |
| 1999 | 182.3″ | 72.4″ | 77.2″ | 100″ | 7,277 lb |
| 2000–2004 | 185.4″ | 74.4″ | 76.4″ | 100″ | 4,575 lb |
| 2017–2026 | 195.7″ | 78.3″ | 72.8″ | 115″ | 4,846 lb |
From 1995 to today the Discovery gained 16.9″ of length (9%) and 459 lb of weight (10%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
Discovery year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 20 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.

Will a Discovery fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 16.3 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 16.3 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 6.5 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 863 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 78.3″ | 73.6″ | +4.7″ |
| Wheelbase | 115″ | 113″ | +2.0″ |
| Curb weight | 4,846 lb | 4,065 lb | 781 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
