One Trim Level, and It's the Right One
The biggest news for the 2026 model year is simplicity. Land Rover now offers a single version for the Canadian market: the Landmark Edition. No more comparing endless option packages. The brand has already selected the most sought-after features and bundled them into one exceptionally well-equipped model.
Visually, that means a contrasting black roof, exclusive 19-inch wheels, and distinctive Landmark badging. One detail we especially appreciate is the subtle mountain range pattern embossed into the headrests. It's the kind of feature you don't notice immediately, but one that quietly reminds you what this vehicle was built for every time you get behind the wheel.
Under the Hood
The 2026 Discovery Sport retains its 2.0-litre turbocharged Ingenium four-cylinder engine, producing 246 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive. These aren't numbers designed to rival a sports sedan, and that's entirely the point. Here, power is about versatility, giving you the confidence to choose your destination without compromise.
Then there's Terrain Response, arguably one of the Discovery Sport's most underrated technologies. The Terrain Response system automatically adjusts throttle response, transmission settings, and onboard electronics depending on whether you're driving on snow, mud, or sand. You rarely notice it working, but you certainly feel the difference when the pavement ends and the adventure begins.
Interior
The 10-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen is quicker than ever for 2026 and continues to offer wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Add the available Meridian sound system and premium interior materials, and long drives to the cottage become something to look forward to rather than just another trip.
And because everyday life is never far away, the rear seats fold down easily to accommodate bicycles, luggage, or camping gear whenever passengers give way to cargo.
The 2026 Discovery Sport is designed for drivers who see their vehicle as both an everyday companion and an adventure partner. From weekday commutes to weekend escapes in the Laurentians, Charlevoix, or Gaspésie, it remains one of the few luxury compact SUVs that can genuinely do both without compromise.
