The transition from the 2025 to the 2026 model year represents a strategic refinement of the Discovery lineup. For Grand Rapids families and enthusiasts, the 2026 Discovery introduces a “Naturally Curious” approach to luxury, streamlining the trim levels while introducing two exclusive special editions that honor the brand’s 35-year legacy of versatility.
The most significant engineering change for the 2026 model year is the restructuring of powertrain availability. In 2025, the high-output P360 3.0L Ingenium I6 MHEV engine was available as an option on the Dynamic SE and came standard on the Metropolitan Edition.
For 2026, the Discovery simplifies this choice. The P360 engine, delivering 355 hp and a robust 369 lb-ft of torque, is now reserved exclusively for the new Gemini and Tempest editions. The S and Dynamic SE trims now focus on the efficient P300 2.0L Ingenium I4, which remains a powerhouse for daily urban transit with 296 HP.
| Feature | 2025 Discovery (Typical) | 2026 Discovery (New Structure) |
|---|---|---|
| Base Engine | P300 2.0L I4 (296 HP) | P300 2.0L I4 (296 HP) |
| P360 Availability | Dynamic SE / Metropolitan | Gemini & Tempest Editions Only |
| Special Editions | Metropolitan Edition | Gemini & Tempest (35th Anniversary) |
| Climate Control | Three-Zone (Standard) | Four-Zone (Standard on Special Editions) |
| Unique Finishes | Gloss Exterior Accents | Matte Protective Film (Tempest Exclusive) |
The 2026 model year is defined by these two new “Curated” personalities. Both utilize the MLA-Flex-derived chassis and standard Electronic Air Suspension, but they offer distinct aesthetic and functional signatures:

| Named after the 1989 development code, this edition is tailored for the “Inspirational” family. It features 21-inch Gloss Light Silver diamond-turned wheels and introduces Sedona Red, a color exclusive to this edition. Inside, a front center console refrigerator and four-zone climate control help support effortless long-distance travel. | Positioned as the most luxurious Discovery ever produced. It debuts a Matte Protective Film over premium paints like Charente Grey or Varesine Blue, paired with a Petra Copper contrast roof. Technically, it includes Intelligent Seat Fold and Cabin Air Purification Plus as standard equipment. |
While the trim structure has evolved, the core “Discovery” capability remains uncompromised. Both the 2025 and 2026 models feature a maximum wading depth of 35.4 inches and a towing capacity of up to 8,200 lbs when equipped with the P360 engine. The Pivi Pro system continues to serve as the digital heart of the cabin, featuring an 11.4-inch curved glass touchscreen with “Predictive” navigation and haptic feedback.
