2027 Land rover Discovery water fording

Ask what a three-row SUV can really handle and the answer usually stops at the trailhead parking lot. The 2027 Discovery tends to change that assumption, which is something Land Rover Flatirons hears about often. Powertrain output, traction hardware, and towing capability are where the answers live.

A Six-Cylinder That Pulls From Low Revs

Every U.S. model uses the P360 Ingenium 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline powertrain producing 355 horsepower. That output moves a seven-seat SUV from zero to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, the difference between merging onto US-36 and waiting for a bigger gap. Electronic Air Suspension® and Adaptive Dynamics come standard, so the chassis settles on the highway and firms up when the road turns.

Traction Hardware for Surfaces That Change Fast

Available Terrain Response 2 optimizes vehicle settings for changing surfaces, while All Terrain Progress Control can maintain a controlled pace over difficult terrain so the driver can focus on steering. Water crossings up to 35.4 inches deep stay within the wading limit, and Wade Sensing shows how much depth you have left.

Towing Numbers and Gear Space for Long Weekends

This model tows up to 8,200 lbs when properly equipped, and standard roof rails add another place to put gear. Available Advanced Tow Assist helps guide the trailer along a selected path while the system controls the vehicle’s steering during low-speed reversing maneuvers. Trailer Stability Assist works in the background on windy I-25 stretches.

Cabin Technology That Keeps Pace with the Hardware

Pivi Pro® runs on an 11.4-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™, SiriusXM® satellite radio, and wireless device charging. Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and a 3D Surround Camera come standard across the lineup.
