![]() The upper good for change or small things, the lower was deep enough to store CD jewel cases (remember those?) vertically. My Mazda3 has a glove box big enough for a 1″ 3 ring binder and double center console compartments. The RSX had a sliding cup holder tray that revealed a small storage tray. It doesn’t deliver enough power for charging. My wife’s Accord has 1 USB port and it’s only good for listening to music. That’s a lot of cubbies and a lot of USB ports. All of this makes me wonder if I missed some other secret compartments. The flip-down HVAC controls would be super stealth is there was no big “OPEN” button right on the lid. You could actually hide stuff in the compartment under the cup-holders and no one would know better to even look there. Typically, from my experience, it’s vehicles like Honda or Toyota that have various, interesting compartment but the Discovery really surprised me. Behind those seats is a handy compartment for smaller items. This model was equipped with third row seats that fold into the floor. ![]() On the positive side, they have USB ports. They are reminiscent of the compartments on old Discos but are much smaller. In the rear cargo area there are two compartments in the walls, under the side windows. In the lower portion of the rear of center console is a little flip down compartment. The rest of the compartments in the Land Rover Discovery are not as special. It, almost surprisingly, it will slide forward to reveal… A SUPER SECRET UNLABELED COMPARTMENT!Īnd that super secret compartment is illuminated and has a USB port in it. Grab the cup-holder and push it toward the front of the car. Like the man in the infomercial says, but wait there’s more!!! Clever, especially considering that the USB ports are located right under the center armrest. In between the cup-holder are nifty cell-phone holder things. Sliding the cover next to the shifter and terrain response buttons exposes the cup-holders. Aftermarket outfitters could utilize this space for locations of missile, oil slick, and other such secret agent gadget buttons.īut, shockingly, those looking to secretly stash away small things have a better place for them in their Rover. Now that is some cool MI6 shit right there. Pressing the “open” button tilts the whole knob panel forward, revealing a deep secret compartment under the touchscreen. The only way to find out is to the press the button. ![]() Below that is a deep open compartment with a 12v socket in it – certainly handy for smaller, frequently used items.īut there is a little button in the cluster of those three knobs that says “open” on it. There a too-small volume knob, too on the right. Under the touch screen are three knobs for HVAC and heated seats controls. The center part of the dash is occupied by a large, 10-inch touch screen. While perhaps it won’t keep your meat fresh over long periods, it will keep your drinks cool on a long summer drive. That’s because it’s servers double duty as a mini fridge. This compartment has an odd white lining and a switch in it. Open the center armrest using a different latch, and a much bigger, sealed center compartment is revealed. The center console lid flips 180 degrees and turns itself into a little table for the rear seat passengers. It’s a good place to keep a cellphone and use the Disco’s Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for less distracted driving pleasure. ![]() Lifting the center console lid reveals the USB chargers and an area to stash a wallet, garage keycard, or something of that size. The center console lid does not seem to be special at all. Great place to stash your radar detector when it’s not in use. And this glove-box even has a handy 12v charger. Pressing the rather random button above the glove box, next to what can be described as a dash piece covering the airbag, exposes a second glove box, above the first glove box. There is nothing atypical about it – pull the handle and it drops down. But this slick dash holds a few secrets.įirst is the glove box. Flat surfaces covered in high quality material and the minimum of anything exposed to the eye. Like all other current Rovers, Disco’s dash was designed with a modern, clean flair. While I’m still getting familiar with the new Disco, one thing has really stood out to me – the amount of hidden compartments in the darn thing. This is the first time that I’m spending time with it and a full review of the diesel version will be posted soon. The third generation (or fifth, depending on how you count) of the Discovery has been with us since 2017.
