2026 Land Rover Discovery

Price Range: $60,200 - $83,500

Average

Few midsize luxury SUVs can support adventure like the 2026 Land Rover Discovery. With its available off-roading technology, generous clearances and reasonably tidy dimensions, it can go places most rivals can't. However, this Land Rover's interior packaging leaves something to be desired.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Christian Wardlaw

Updated: 8/20/2025

If you want a midsize luxury SUV that can travel well off the beaten path, the Land Rover Discovery is one of the few that meets the requirement. Off-roading capability is inherent to the Discovery's DNA — an air suspension is included as standard equipment, allowing you to raise the body to avoid taller rocks on the trail. But Land Rover hasn't redesigned the Disco since 2017, and it's rapidly becoming outdated. Newer rivals offer more passenger and cargo space, and some of the Discovery's interior controls aren't thoughtfully designed. Nevertheless, when the going gets rough, this Land Rover proves tough.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Average

6.2

out of 10

We drove the 2026 Land Rover Discovery on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

6.2/10

How does it drive? Expect competent but unexciting performance from the Discovery. The six-cylinder engine in our test vehicle propelled it from 0 to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds at our test track, trailing rivals like the Audi Q7. While it doesn't leap off the line, smooth midrange power makes highway passing easy.

The Discovery's dynamics make it feel larger than it is, with ponderous handling and a high center of gravity that causes noticeable body lean in tight turns. The standard air suspension, while generally comfortable, can occasionally create a mildly floaty ride. Visibility is good overall thanks to large windows, though the oversized rear headrests obstruct the rear view, making its advanced camera system particularly useful.

The Discovery includes a solid set of standard driver aids, such as parking sensors, lane keeping assistance, and a 360-degree camera system. These features worked reliably without false alerts. However, the overall number of features is below average for the class, and adaptive cruise control, while available, was not included on our test model.

Comfort

6.5/10

How comfortable is it? The Discovery is comfortable overall. The first two rows of seats feature nicely shaped cushions that hold up after hours of driving, even though they don't have much thigh support. The interior is impressively quiet, and the climate control system works well to heat or cool to your liking.

But … there are a lot of buts. Land Rover really needs to hire some people from Toyota and Honda for the next Discovery in hopes of devising better controls and ergonomics. Here's our list: 1) The haptic touch climate panel requires too much of your attention to use while driving; 2) The armrest snaps shut with the speed of a guillotine; 3) It's shockingly difficult to operate the upper glove box; 4) There's also no quick release for moving the second row forward, so third-row passengers are almost entirely dependent on someone else to help them exit; 5) The driver's seat sits up way too high, giving the Discovery an almost bus-like driving position.

In-cabin tech

7/10

How’s the tech? The cabin tech centers on an 11.4-inch curved glass touchscreen running Land Rover's Pivi Pro system. The interface is crisp, but the native navigation has quirks. The predictive text algorithm often makes illogical choices, prioritizing Starwood over Starbucks, and destination results can be messy, sometimes listing distant addresses above famous landmarks. Fortunately, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.

Device support is mixed. The front row gets one USB-A and one USB-C port, while the second row has two USB-C ports and two USB-A inputs. Third-row passengers have no dedicated ports. The standard Meridian sound system is fantastic, delivering clear audio that avoids rattles common in lesser systems.

Storage & cargo

6.4/10

How’s storage and cargo? The Discovery's split cargo door design is quite nice, with the short bottom portion ensuring items won't roll out when you park on an incline. Unfortunately, the amount of cargo room behind the third row is laughable. Even with the second- and third-row seats lowered, the Discovery's cargo space is below average and well off class leaders. Storage for small items is generous, with big door pockets and a sizable bin between the front seats. There's even a small cubby behind the climate panel.

If you plan on towing, know that the Discovery has a higher capacity than most other midsize three-row luxury SUVs. Properly equipped, it's rated to tow up to 8,200 pounds.

Value

7.2/10

Is it a good value? The Discovery is priced appropriately for a midsize luxury SUV. The interior materials are top-notch, and we noted no squeaks or rattles during our test. Even its exterior fit and finish are on par with its closest competitors.

This luxurious three-row sets itself apart by offering plenty of standard equipment, such as its Meridian sound system and 360-degree camera system, which you'd have to pay more for from other brands.

However, this Land Rover's warranty coverage is unremarkable, with bumper-to-bumper and powertrain coverage for four years/50,000 miles. The same goes for roadside assistance. Thankfully, maintenance is included for all-new Land Rovers for five years/60,000 miles, bumping up the brand's previous offerings.

MPG

3/10

How’s the fuel economy? The Discovery with the turbocharged six-cylinder engine gets an EPA-estimated 19 mpg combined. In our real-world testing, the Discovery returned 21.7 mpg, which is comparable to the test results we got for the Audi Q7 (21 mpg) and BMW X5 (21.5 mpg).

X factor

7/10

The ponderous handling saps some of the fun you could have in the Discovery, but if you're plowing straight ahead, this big SUV is perfectly pleasant. The six-cylinder powertrain is a gem even if it doesn't hustle this lug with much urgency. The Discovery is a looker inside and out, and Land Rover has done a great job making this aging SUV feel fresh from behind the wheel.

The Discovery offers plenty of off-road capability too. Its maximum ground clearance is 11.2 inches, which is quite high for a three-row SUV. It also has multiple traction modes and an available two-speed transfer case to help you navigate rocks and ruts if you have the urge for some adventure.

Build & Price

2026 Land Rover Discovery trim level differences

The 2026 Land Rover Discovery is a three-row midsize SUV providing luxury and off-roading capability in equal measure. Available models include the P300 S, P300 Dynamic SE, P360 Gemini Edition and P360 Tempest Edition. Compare the 2026 Land Rover Discovery trim levels in-depth.

Which Discovery trim does Edmunds recommend?

While we're fans of the Discovery P360's powerful six-cylinder engine, it commands a significant premium. That's why we recommend the Discovery P300 S with the turbocharged four-cylinder. It is well equipped at the base price, and Land Rover offers numerous ways to upgrade the SUV's appearance, technology offerings and luxury features.

Competitors to consider

The Land Rover Discovery is one of the only luxury SUVs in its class engineered to travel far from civilization over uncivilized terrain. The closest match would be the Lexus GX or a Toyota Land Cruiser equipped with all the extras. The loaded Jeep Grand Cherokee L might also serve as a credible alternative to the Discovery. Before deciding, be sure to read our Expert Rating to get the scoop from our testing team about this luxury off-roader.

Edmunds spotlight: About the Discovery Gemini and Tempest editions

To drum up interest for the 2026 Discovery, Land Rover has replaced last year's P360 Dynamic SE and Metropolitan Edition models with the new P360 Gemini and Tempest editions. Those names are nods to internal Land Rover designations for historical Discovery models during their development, a fact that might escape even the most hardcore Disco lovers. Gemini Editions offer an exclusive Sedona Red paint color and unique wheels (in addition to other hues and designs), while Tempest Editions are fully loaded and feature trendy copper accents, including the roof paint. The Discovery Tempest is available in three colors, and a matte protective paint film is standard.
