The 2026 Land Rover Discovery Sport is a compact luxury SUV with a five-door body style. It provides seating for five passengers standard, or seven with the optional third-row seats. The vehicle measures 180.9 inches in length. Comparable models include the Audi Q5, BMW X3, and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class. The 2026 model introduces the Landmark trim and discontinues previous options such as the SE and HSE, while retaining the existing platform. The powertrain features a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine that produces 246 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive.

The Pivi Pro infotainment system centers on an 11.4-inch curved touchscreen for navigation, media playback, and vehicle controls. It includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity for two phones, and a Meridian surround sound system. Driver assistance systems encompass adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring. Wireless smartphone mirroring is standard across trims. The My Land Rover app enables remote lock and unlock functions, climate preconditioning, geofencing alerts, and receives over-the-air updates for ongoing software enhancements.
