Sounds interesting to me.....I havent followed the d5 much....is it actually in Australia's model line up?

I ran my d2 like that for years, sometimes threw the rear seats in ...took 15-20mins....and if I wantted the rear space again , took the seats out.I did it at least twice each year for my regular desert trips.

Drops all 4 rear seats, ad's panels inside rear privacy glass, hard floor and cargo barrier, powered tailgate.

There’s under-floor storage, as well as access points space under what would ordinarily be the rear seats.

From its wide-spaced double-wishbone design at the front to its advanced multi-link layout at the rear, the Discovery Commercial’s suspension delivers more responsive handling without compromising Land Rover’s hallmark all-terrain capability and makes all journeys confident, comfortable and engaging.

Pretty much like a commercial van interior in rear, with luxury front and go anywhere capability.
