2026 Land Rover Discovery Sport: Design
The 2026 Discovery Sport features a more dynamic and sophisticated visual identity, expressed through three new distinct variants: Dynamic S, Landmark, and the new flagship Metropolitan Edition. The Dynamic S, which is now the entry-level model, adopts a more sporty appearance with gloss black features on the grille, lower bumpers, and body panels, making the SUV look more aggressive and urban-friendly.

Meanwhile, The Landmark Edition honors Discovery's pioneering heritage with a mountain-range logo drawing inspiration from the first 1989 Discovery, puddle lights with a higher-beam illumination, and unique tread plates. Convenience features such as sliding and reclining second-row seats and a panoramic roof make it more desirable.
The top of the line Metropolitan Edition conveys luxury and presence with Atlas Silver badging, Indus Silver-finished skid plates, a silver-accented grille, and 20-inch diamond-turned alloy wheels, with gloss black finishes available as an option to further spice up its high-end look.

With up to seven-seat configuration, 24 different seating layouts, and a maximum boot capacity of 1,794 litres, the 2026 Discovery Sport blends everyday practicality with upscale comfort. Inside, every Discovery Sport now features a digital instrument cluster, steering-mounted gear paddles, and a new 11.4-inch curved glass touchscreen powered by the latest Pivi Pro infotainment system. With intuitive sidebars and up to 90 per cent of functions accessible in two taps, the system offers quick access to climate, media, and navigation.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard across the range.
