The 2027 Land Rover Discovery gives its entry-level S model a meaningful mechanical upgrade: the P360 six-cylinder engine. Standard roof rails also join the S equipment list, bringing more of the family SUV’s useful hardware to its starting trim.
The lineup includes S, Landmark and Tempest models. Here is what changes, what each version offers and how much to budget before options and taxes.
The 2027 Discovery S gets six-cylinder power
Land Rover confirms the model-year 2027 S upgrade in its official Discovery announcement. The current U.S. specification sheet lists a 3.0-liter six-cylinder producing 355 horsepower and 368.8 pound-feet of torque, paired with an automatic transmission. Land Rover quotes a 6.2-second run from zero to 60 mph.
Electronic air suspension and Adaptive Dynamics are on the S standard-equipment list. Those features matter for a vehicle expected to carry passengers, luggage and sometimes a trailer, although published specifications cannot replace a road test of how it rides.
Land Rover advertises towing capability of up to 8,200 pounds across the Discovery range. That is a maximum, not a promise for every loaded combination: passengers, luggage, hitch equipment and the individual vehicle’s limits still determine what you can tow.
Landmark and Tempest add different kinds of luxury
Landmark sits above S with 21-inch wheels, four-zone climate control, a refrigerated front center console and a gesture-operated powered tailgate. Its branded interior trim and exterior detailing give it a different appearance without turning this into an all-new Discovery generation. Land Rover describes Landmark as new for 2026; the specific 2027 change highlighted here is the S powertrain upgrade.
Tempest moves further upmarket with 22-inch wheels featuring a copper-tinted finish, a Petra Copper contrast roof and matte protective film. Its equipment includes 20-way massaging front seats, heated and cooled front seats, a head-up display and an electrically operated third row. The announcement also adds Borasco Grey with the matte finish to the Tempest color choices.
Seven seats, but plan around the cargo space
Discovery measures 195.1 inches long on a 115.08-inch wheelbase. It is 74.3 inches tall, and its width grows from 81.6 inches with the mirrors folded to 87.4 inches with them extended. Those mirror measurements are worth checking against a garage opening.
Land Rover’s U.S. specification table lists 8.8 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row, 42.01 cubic feet behind the second row and 74.30 cubic feet behind the front seats. Seven seats therefore come with a practical tradeoff: using every seat leaves relatively little room for a family’s luggage. Bring your usual bags and child seats when evaluating one in person.
Even S includes an 11.4-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless device charging, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Its third row folds manually; Tempest adds powered operation.
Prices start at $66,750 including destination
The current U.S. Discovery model page lists starting prices of $64,900 for S, $70,800 for Landmark and $84,300 for Tempest. Adding Land Rover’s $1,850 destination and delivery charge brings those totals to $66,750, $72,650 and $86,150, respectively. Options, taxes and retailer fees are additional.
For shoppers focused on the engine and core family-SUV equipment, the upgraded S deserves a close look before moving up the trim ladder. Landmark adds useful convenience features, while Tempest concentrates more of the spending on finishes and seat comfort. Compare the actual equipment and cargo fit you need before assuming the highest trim is the best choice.
