Land Rover Discovery Sport
Land Rover has long been synonymous with superior off-road capabilities, a legacy it has enhanced over the decades with remarkable refinement and luxury across its vehicle lineup. For the 2026 model year, the Land Rover Discovery Sport is available exclusively as a single, well-appointed all-wheel drive trim. This sole offering is the newly introduced Landmark Edition, which features a robust, turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that generates 246 horsepower and 269 lb.-ft of torque, seamlessly managed by a 9-speed automatic transmission.
The 2026 Land Rover Discovery Sport is engineered for exceptional versatility, seamlessly blending on-road comfort with formidable off-road prowess. It comes standard with full-time all-wheel drive, featuring a responsive electronic Haldex center, combining that intelligently and seamlessly distributes torque to optimize handling across all conditions. The vehicle's long-travel suspension, which incorporates lightweight aluminum components in the suspension itself and body panels like the hood, fenders, roof, and tailgate, provides both a smooth ride on paved roads and the durability needed for rough terrain.
For challenging environments, the Discovery Sport is equipped with the Land Rover Terrain Response system. This innovative feature allows the driver to select specific modes such as general driving, grass/gravel/snow, mud and ruts, and sand, which instantly tailor the throttle, gearbox, braking, and stability controls to suit the immediate surroundings. These off-road credentials are further highlighted by the vehicle's impressive capability to confidently navigate steep gradients up to 45 degrees.
Standard equipment includes LED headlamps, daytime running, brake lights and fog lights,
leather seats, heated 8-way power front seats with 4-way power lumbar support, a heated steering wheel, power liftgate, auto-dimming driver and rearview mirror, automatic dual-zone climate control, AM/FM/HD/Satellite radio, 11 Meridian speakers, a 11.4-inch touchscreen, voice activated navigation, adaptive cruise control with traffic stop-go, wireless phone connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, a wireless phone charger, proximity keyless entry with push button start, Bluetooth connectivity, 3 USB ports, 2 12V DC power outlets, 19-inch machined aluminum wheels, and sport pedals.
