What’s New, Models, Specs, and Features
The 2026 Discovery tows up to 8,200 lbs and offers a new P360 Gemini Edition model. The P360 mild hybrid powertrain is now more accessible, giving buyers a six-cylinder option below the top Tempest Edition. This page covers every model, powertrain, and feature update, with current inventory available at Land Rover Clear Lake.
The most significant addition to the 2026 Discovery lineup is the P360 Gemini Edition, a new model that places the 3.0L mild hybrid inline-six into the range, sitting between the Dynamic SE and the top-tier Tempest Edition. Buyers who previously had to step all the way to the Tempest Edition to access the MHEV powertrain now have a more accessible entry point into that drivetrain.
The Gemini Edition brings distinct exterior character alongside the upgraded powertrain, making it a substantive addition rather than a rebadging exercise. The broader model structure for 2026 runs four levels: P300 S, P300 Dynamic SE, P360 Gemini Edition, and P360 Tempest Edition, giving the Discovery a clearer ladder from the entry-level gasoline four-cylinder through to the fully specified mild hybrid configuration.
Color additions for 2026 include Sedona Red Metallic and Lantau Bronze Metallic, expanding the palette to eight exterior options. The full color range now spans Fuji White, Santorini Black Metallic, Eiger Gray Metallic, Varesine Blue Metallic, Lantau Bronze Metallic, Charente Gray Premium Metallic, Carpathian Gray Premium Metallic, and Sedona Red Metallic.
The 2026 Discovery lineup is offered in four models.
P300 S carries the 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder producing 296 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard AWD. It includes the 11.4-inch curved glass Pivi Pro touchscreen, air suspension, Terrain Response 2, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the full suite of standard safety systems.
P300 Dynamic SE builds on the S with sport-oriented styling details and additional comfort and convenience content while retaining the P300 powertrain.
P360 Gemini Edition is new for 2026. It introduces the 3.0L turbocharged inline-six mild hybrid (MHEV), which increases output over the P300 and adds the efficiency benefit of mild hybrid assist. This model carries distinct design elements that set it apart visually from the Dynamic SE below it.
P360 Tempest Edition represents the fully loaded configuration. It combines the MHEV powertrain with the highest level of interior specification, unique exterior treatments, and the most complete technology and comfort package in the Discovery range.
Two powertrains are available across the 2026 Discovery lineup.
The P300 uses a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 296 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. It drives all four wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission. EPA fuel economy for this configuration is rated at 19 city and 23 highway. EPA fuel economy ratings for 2026 Discovery
The P360 uses a 3.0L turbocharged inline-six with mild hybrid (MHEV) assistance. The MHEV system captures energy during deceleration and uses it to reduce load on the combustion engine, improving fuel efficiency in combined driving. Combined fuel economy across the lineup ranges from 19 to 21 MPG depending on powertrain selection.
Both engines pair with the 8-speed automatic transmission and standard AWD. Ground clearance is 11.2 inches, and the Discovery’s air suspension is standard across all models, allowing ride height adjustment to suit terrain conditions. Towing capacity is 8,200 lbs across the lineup, making the Discovery one of the more capable three-row luxury SUVs in its segment for trailer and boat owners in the Friendswood area and across the greater Houston region.
Off-road hardware includes Terrain Response 2 with multiple traction modes, All Terrain Progress Control, Hill Descent Control, Hill Launch Assist, Launch Traction Control, and Gradient Release Control.
The 2026 Discovery seats seven passengers across three rows. The third-row seat is a genuine adult-usable space rather than an emergency fold-out, supported by the 195.1-inch overall length and 74.3-inch height.
Cargo figures behind each row reflect the three-row configuration:
Behind the third row: 9.1 cu ft
Behind the second row: 45.0 cu ft
Maximum cargo with both rear rows folded: 74.3 cu ft
Payload capacity ranges from approximately 1,600 to 1,700 lbs depending on model and powertrain.
The interior material quality reflects the Discovery’s position in the lineup, with refined surfaces, thoughtful storage integration, and seating designed for longer journeys. The air suspension contributes directly to interior comfort by softening the transition between urban roads and uneven terrain.
The 11.4-inch curved glass touchscreen is standard across all 2026 Discovery models. It runs Pivi Pro infotainment, which is designed for minimal menu depth so that common functions are reachable in two taps or fewer.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. Amazon Alexa integration allows voice commands for navigation, music, and smart home functions. Cloud storage connectivity supports driver preference syncing, and an optional Wi-Fi hotspot is available through a data plan subscription.
The Meridian sound system delivers audio quality appropriate to the Discovery’s interior specification.
Driver assistance technology with a technology dimension includes the ClearSight Ground View system, which projects a camera feed from under the front of the vehicle onto the touchscreen. This function lets drivers place the front wheels precisely on off-road terrain without leaving the cabin. Advanced Tow Assist uses camera feeds and steering control to simplify trailer reversing.
Every 2026 Discovery comes standard with a thorough set of driver assistance systems. Standard equipment includes:
The surround-view camera system provides a 360-degree overhead perspective for parking and tight maneuvering. The ClearSight Ground View function serves double duty as both an off-road aid and a low-speed parking tool.
The 2026 Discovery is backed by a 4-year / 50,000-mile basic warranty and a matching 4-year / 50,000-mile powertrain warranty.
The 2026 Discovery is the right choice for buyers who need genuine seven-seat capacity and real towing ability from a premium SUV, without stepping into the Range Rover price tier. The 8,200-lb tow rating puts it in direct competition with three-row body-on-frame SUVs on a practical capability basis, while the air suspension, Pivi Pro system, and Meridian audio keep it firmly in the luxury space.
Compared to a 2025 Discovery, the 2026 model’s primary advancement is the addition of the Gemini Edition, which makes the MHEV powertrain accessible without committing to the Tempest Edition. Buyers who valued the inline-six but found the prior gap too wide now have a direct path to that engine.
Drivers in Friendswood, the Clear Lake area, and across the Houston region who regularly tow boats, trailers, or outdoor equipment will find the Discovery’s hardware well matched to that use case. The combination of 11.2 inches of ground clearance, Terrain Response 2, and air suspension also makes it a credible choice for buyers who take weekend trips to East Texas trails or coastal terrain.
The 2026 Discovery lineup is available now at Land Rover Clear Lake, serving Friendswood, the Clear Lake area, and the broader Houston region. Whether the P300 S represents the right entry point or the new P360 Gemini Edition is the target, the team at Land Rover Clear Lake can walk through current inventory, available exterior colors, and configuration options in person.
