The 2026 Discovery provides a 35.4-inch maximum wading depth and 11.2 inches of ground clearance as standard. That capability is included across all four models, from the P300 S through the P360 Tempest Edition. This page explains every off-road system in the Discovery and where to find one in Friendswood.
The 2026 Discovery combines off-road hardware, geometry, and software within a three-row luxury SUV. The 11.2-inch ground clearance helps maintain separation from rocks, ruts, and uneven terrain. Standard air suspension adjusts ride height automatically, adding clearance when conditions require it. The 8,200-lb towing capacity supports transporting a properly configured trailer to outdoor destinations.
For families in Friendswood who travel across Texas backroads, unpaved access roads, and approved off-highway environments, the Discovery includes its core terrain systems as standard equipment.
Terrain Response 2 is the central control system for off-road performance. It reads wheel slip, throttle input, suspension behavior, and surface conditions, then adjusts the drivetrain, brakes, and stability systems accordingly.
The driver selects a terrain mode for grass, gravel and snow, mud and ruts, sand, or rock crawl. Terrain Response 2 configures the vehicle around that selection. An automatic setting reads conditions and adjusts the systems continuously.
All Terrain Progress Control functions as low-speed cruise control for off-road surfaces. The driver sets a target crawl speed, and the system maintains it without requiring continuous brake or throttle input. This allows the driver to focus on steering through technical terrain, including rocks or deeply rutted trails.
Hill Descent Control manages braking automatically on steep downhill sections. The system keeps the vehicle at a controlled speed without requiring the driver to continuously apply the brake pedal. On loose surfaces such as gravel or wet clay, this helps reduce the risk of a wheel-lock slide.
Hill Launch Assist helps prevent rollback when pulling away on steep grades. Gradient Release Control manages the transition over a crest or steep drop by adjusting brake pressure so the vehicle moves over the edge progressively. Together, the systems support controlled starts and transitions on steep terrain.
Launch Traction Control manages wheelspin during acceleration from a stop. It is particularly useful on loose or slippery surfaces where traction is limited.
ClearSight Ground View projects a live camera feed of the terrain directly below and ahead of the front bumper onto the 11.4-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen. The system shows obstacles the hood would otherwise conceal, including rocks, drop-offs, and ditches. It can assist when positioning the vehicle around a trail obstacle or parking on uneven ground.
The Discovery has a maximum wading depth of 35.4 inches. Available Wade Sensing monitors water depth in real time and alerts the driver as the depth increases. Air suspension raises the body to maximize clearance during an appropriate water crossing. The engine intake and key electronics are positioned to support the published wading capability under the conditions specified in the owner’s manual.
Drivers should never enter floodwater or water of unknown depth. Always assess the crossing and follow the wading instructions in the owner’s manual.
Core off-road capability is included across all four 2026 Discovery models.
The P300 S includes Terrain Response 2, Hill Descent Control, Hill Launch Assist, Gradient Release Control, Launch Traction Control, All Terrain Progress Control, standard air suspension, the Surround Camera system, and ClearSight Ground View. It is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder producing 296 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, with AWD standard.
The P300 Dynamic SE adds styling and equipment refinements while retaining the complete off-road system suite. The 2.0L turbocharged engine and AWD drivetrain carry over.
The P360 Gemini Edition adds a 3.0L turbocharged 6-cylinder mild hybrid engine. The MHEV system provides low-speed torque assistance at crawl speeds used off-road. The complete off-road feature set continues.
The P360 Tempest Edition adds further equipment and finish upgrades. The 3.0L MHEV engine and complete off-road system package remain in place.
Advanced Tow Assist is available across the model range. It uses the rear camera and steering guidance to support trailer maneuvering, including reversing on a narrow approach or boat ramp.
The off-road systems in the 2026 Discovery are calibrated to support drivers across everyday travel and changing terrain. Most owners will use the vehicle for daily driving, passenger transportation, and highway travel. When conditions shift to a Hill Country camping trip, a boat ramp near Galveston, or a gravel forest road, the terrain systems provide additional support.
Terrain Response 2 manages surface calibration. All Terrain Progress Control manages the selected crawl speed. ClearSight Ground View expands visibility. The driver remains responsible for steering, assessing conditions, and selecting an appropriate route.
The 8,200-lb towing capacity supports a range of recreational trailers, subject to trailer weight, vehicle configuration, and proper equipment. Air suspension helps manage ride height under load.
Ground clearance of 11.2 inches supports travel over trail obstacles and uneven surfaces. Drivers should not enter flooded roads or low-water crossings after heavy rain, regardless of the published wading specification.
The 2026 Discovery combines a published 35.4-inch maximum wading depth, Terrain Response 2, All Terrain Progress Control, and standard air suspension within a seven-seat vehicle. The core terrain-management hardware is included across all four models rather than reserved for one specification level.
Discovery wading specification
Towing capacity reaches 8,200 lbs when the vehicle is properly equipped.
The 2026 Discovery combines 11.2 inches of ground clearance, a 35.4-inch maximum wading depth, Terrain Response 2, and standard air suspension within a three-row vehicle that seats seven and tows up to 8,200 lbs. Land Rover Clear Lake serves Friendswood and the surrounding area with current Discovery inventory. Review available vehicles and arrange a demonstration of the off-road systems.
The 2026 Discovery has a maximum wading depth of 35.4 inches under the conditions specified in the owner’s manual. Available Wade Sensing monitors water depth in real time during an appropriate crossing. Never enter floodwater or water of unknown depth.
Terrain Response 2 is a terrain-management system that adjusts the drivetrain, brakes, and stability controls to match the surface selected by the driver, including mud, sand, gravel, snow, and rock. An automatic mode reads conditions and adjusts without driver input.
