2026 Land Rover Discovery Tempest Edition: Solon Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: Tempest Edition, Solon's Top Discovery Trim
$83,500 puts a buyer into the range-topping Discovery for 2026, sitting on Gemini Edition's drivetrain (six-cylinder, 355 horsepower, 8,200-lb tow ceiling) but dressed and equipped well beyond it. Copper-tinted 22-inch wheels, black-painted calipers, a contrast roof finished in a copper hue, an optional satin paint wrap, power-adjustable seats up front with a massage function, warmed and chilled seating in both rows plus heat reaching the third row, power-folding rear seats, a windshield-projected display, and premium hide throughout the cabin round out the build. Nothing above this trim exists in the current lineup — it's the ceiling.
A $12,700 gap, spent almost entirely on finish
Strip away the badge and Tempest Edition is mechanically Gemini Edition — same six-cylinder engine, same towing number, nothing different under the hood. What that roughly $12,700 premium buys instead is a near-total reskin. Wheels grow to 22 inches, cast in a diamond-turned gloss black finish with a copper cast to the lacquer, framing brake calipers painted to match. A roof panel in a distinct copper tone sets the whole vehicle apart visually from anything parked below it in the lineup, and buyers chasing something even more unusual can special-order a satin protective wrap in place of standard gloss paint — an option that doesn't exist anywhere else on the Discovery order sheet. Solar glass up front and a hide-wrapped wheel round out what's new outside the cabin.
Step inside and the changes get more substantial. Twenty-way power seats up front now include a massage function and a proper fold-down center rest; climate-controlled seating — both heating and cooling — spreads to all three rows for the first time in the lineup, something almost no three-row SUV at any price bothers to offer that far back. The third-row bench folds electrically instead of by hand, a heads-up projection puts speed and directions directly in the driver's line of sight, and every visible surface gets wrapped in a higher grade of leather. Filtration for the cabin air gets bumped up a notch too, a small but real detail for anyone sensitive to what's circulating through the vents.
Who actually needs to spend this much
Typically a buyer who was never going to accept a two-row layout in the first place — a bigger household, houseguests who show up often, regular trips shuttling people between Solon, Hudson, and Beachwood — but who also wasn't willing to give up a genuinely upscale cabin to get that extra row. Given how deep the option list runs on this specific trim, a rushed handoff at delivery leaves real features undiscovered; ask specifically for time on the third-row climate settings and the seat massage programs, since those are easy to miss in a five-minute walkaround.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2026 Tempest Edition?
$83,500, not counting Land Rover's separate $1,850 destination charge, Ohio tax, or registration. See the pricing page for the full Ohio math.
What powers it?
The same mild-hybrid six-cylinder as Gemini Edition — 355 hp, 369 lb-ft, 8,200 lb of towing capacity.
Does the back row actually get heat?
It does, and it's the only 2026 Discovery trim where that's true — on top of both front and middle rows offering heating and cooling.
Is stepping up from Gemini Edition worth roughly $12,700?
Mechanically nothing changes between the two, so the entire premium buys comfort and finish — massage seats, rear heat, power-folding seats, the heads-up display, and a distinct exterior look. Worth a back-to-back test drive before deciding.
Where do I check current stock?

The bottom line
Nobody buying Tempest Edition is choosing between a family hauler and a luxury cabin — this trim refuses to make that a choice in the first place. Every off-road and towing capability that justifies the rest of the lineup carries through here, just wrapped in the nicest interior this model gets.
The $83,500 MSRP excludes Land Rover's separate $1,850 destination and handling fee, plus tax, title, license, and any dealer fees due at signing — final pricing is set by Land Rover Solon. Output, torque, and towing figures come from the manufacturer for the P360 engine; EPA figures are government-estimated and can shift with equipment. Because builds change as production continues, verify exact specs with the dealership before you buy. Any customer quote used here is pulled verbatim from a public Google review of Land Rover Solon.
