7-seat (5+2) two-seat third row: Third-row LATCH lower anchors are “only applicable where the third row has three seats” (handbook note) — the optional two-seat third row has none. Its top tether anchorages sit “in similar positions” per the handbook; the stored values describe the 8-seat three-seat bench.
BATCH LATCH CHAMPION. Anchors: 'Third row outboard seats' + NOTE 'only applicable where the third row has three seats' (= the 130 bench; 110/130 2-seat third rows excluded - config gate). Tethers: 3 (E304556 figure, one per bench position; 2-seat-third-row variance 'similar positions'). Curtain: G2918658 illustration spans three rows (family handbook note). Reminder: G2283659 condition 'A rear seatbelt is unfastened', rows not enumerated.
Hardware facts only. No U.S. crash-test programme instruments third-row occupants, so this site publishes what the vehicle has rather than a rating. Confirm against the owner's manual and sit in the vehicle before buying. Compare third-row LATCH across every model → How we source safety data →

- Eight-passenger duty — the 2+3+3 bench layout matches the Escalade, Navigator, and QX80 at eight seats.
- Third rows that carry adults: 31.6 inches of legroom in the eight-seat layout, and 34.0 in the 5+2 two-seat third row.
- Child seats in the third row — two LATCH lower-anchor sets and three top tethers on the three-seat bench, per the official handbook.
- The Outbound trim deletes the third row entirely (five seats), and the 7-seat option is a two-seat third row rather than second-row captain chairs.
- Land Rover publishes only a mirrors-folded width (79 in), so no body-only width appears here.
- Third-row headroom of 38.9 inches is the panoramic-roof figure — Land Rover publishes no standard-roof number.
