2026 Discovery Sport Landmark Edition: Solon Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: 2026 Discovery Sport Landmark Edition
Landmark Edition is the only 2026 Discovery Sport trim, starting at $49,900 MSRP before Land Rover's $1,275 destination charge. It runs the P250 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (246 hp, 269 lb-ft), a 9-speed automatic, and standard all-wheel drive, with 0-60 in 7.3 seconds (7.5 with the optional third row). Standard equipment includes 19-inch wheels, a fixed panoramic roof, heated Ebony DuoLeather seating, an 11.4-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a full driver-assist suite — Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and Blind Spot Assist all included rather than optioned. Land Rover Solon keeps Landmark builds in current inventory.
One trim absorbing what three used to cover
The bigger story with Landmark Edition isn't any single feature — it's what happened to the trim ladder underneath it. Land Rover folded the previous S and Dynamic SE trims into this one configuration, which means equipment that used to require stepping up a rung — Adaptive Cruise Control, a fixed panoramic roof, the nicer wheel design — now just comes with the car. Landmark adds its own styling on top: a contrasting gloss roof, a new 19-inch Style 5136 wheel in Gloss Dark Grey with a Diamond Turned contrast finish, and scripted treadplates with a puddle-light graphic nodding to the original 1989 Discovery. The name is a small history lesson; the standard-equipment sheet is the part that actually changes what a Solon buyer gets for $49,900.
Inside, Landmark runs Ebony DuoLeather seating with Lunar Grey stitching, 12-way power adjustment with driver memory up front and 10-way for the passenger seat, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel — a generous spec sheet for the segment's entry point. Two-zone climate control extends into the second row with its own vents and controls, and a Meridian Sound System with SiriusXM and HD radio handles audio duty. The 11.4-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen runs wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto standard, paired with wireless device charging — worth calling out specifically, since earlier Discovery Sport model years shipped with wired-only phone mirroring in some configurations.
The powertrain: nothing to decide
Every 2026 Discovery Sport runs the same P250: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 246 hp and 269 lb-ft, paired with a 9-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive. Land Rover's published figures put 0-60 at 7.3 seconds for the standard five-seat car, 7.5 seconds if the optional third row is fitted — the added hardware nudges the number slightly. Towing tops out at 4,409 lbs. EPA estimates run 19 city, 23 highway, 20 combined on premium fuel; Land Rover has said the 2026 car carries over the prior model year's EPA rating for this powertrain generation while fresh certification is finalized, so read it as a solid estimate rather than a brand-new lab result.
All-Wheel Drive, Terrain Response 2, All Terrain Progress Control, Hill Descent Control, and Hill Launch Assist are all standard — the same underlying toolkit Land Rover builds into its larger, pricier models, wrapped around a smaller, more efficient engine. For a Solon buyer whose Discovery Sport will mostly handle Cuyahoga County streets with the occasional Chagrin Valley or Cuyahoga Valley National Park weekend, that's genuinely useful margin in snow or standing water without paying for six-cylinder towing capacity that would mostly go unused.
Five seats or seven — decide before you order
The Landmark's standard configuration seats five, with fixed, non-folding rear seats. Buyers who want the classic 5+2 Discovery Sport layout — two additional seats in a third row — can add the optional Third Row package, the single biggest configuration decision on an otherwise straightforward build. Worth deciding early: the third row changes cargo capacity behind the rearmost seats and shifts the 0-60 time by two-tenths, small but real trade-offs for the extra capacity.
Who's buying the Landmark in Solon
First-time Land Rover buyers stepping up from a mainstream compact luxury SUV, growing Northeast Ohio families who want real AWD capability without a Defender- or Discovery-sized footprint, and buyers who've decided the badge and driver-assist tech matter more than raw horsepower all land on the Landmark — because it's the only Discovery Sport there is to land on in 2026. One recent buyer's review captures why the whole ownership arc holds up: "From leasing, purchasing and servicing the discovery sport has been great and very professional." Another Solon buyer, on their third vehicle from the store, wrote more broadly: "This is my third car from Land Rover Solon. They make the whole experience easy. Everyone from the service team to the sales team are professional and easy to work with."
Frequently asked questions
What does the 2026 Discovery Sport Landmark Edition cost?
MSRP is $49,900 before Land Rover's $1,275 destination charge, Ohio sales tax, title, and dealer fees. The pricing guide works through the full Cuyahoga County math and current offers.
What engine comes on the Landmark Edition?
The P250: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 246 hp and 269 lb-ft, a 9-speed automatic, and standard all-wheel drive. It's the only engine offered on the 2026 Discovery Sport.
Is Adaptive Cruise Control standard?
Yes — Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Assist, Rear Traffic Monitor, and Traffic Sign Recognition are all standard on the Landmark Edition, part of what Land Rover added when it consolidated the old trims into this single, better-equipped configuration.
Can I get a seven-seat Discovery Sport?
Yes, with the optional Third Row package added to the Landmark, which brings back the 5+2 layout for two extra passengers. Worth requesting specifically, since it isn't the standard configuration.
Where can I see current Landmark inventory in Solon?
Land Rover Solon's new-vehicle inventory lists Landmark builds by color and configuration.
The bottom line
Landmark Edition is Land Rover's bet that one well-equipped Discovery Sport beats three thinly-differentiated ones, and the standard-equipment sheet backs that bet up — Adaptive Cruise Control, a panoramic roof, wireless phone mirroring, and genuine Terrain Response 2 capability, all included rather than optioned. For a Solon-area buyer who wants a real Land Rover without a real Land Rover price tag, this is the entire conversation in one trim.
$49,900 is the MSRP and nothing more — Land Rover's $1,275 destination fee isn't in that number, and neither are taxes, title, or whatever dealer fees end up on the paperwork; the final price is set by Land Rover Solon at the time of sale. Output, torque, and the 0-60 figures come straight from Land Rover for the P250 engine and can shift a little depending on how the car is optioned; the mileage estimate quoted here is a hand-me-down from the prior model year's EPA rating rather than the 2026 car's own fresh test result. What's actually available, and exactly how it's equipped, can move around as new production arrives — call ahead to Land Rover Solon and confirm before you drive over.
