Jaguar F-PACE — The Last of the Combustion Jaguars

The 2026 Jaguar F-PACE holds a unique place in the brand’s history. With Jaguar transitioning toward an all-electric future, the F-PACE may very well be the last internal combustion Jaguar you can buy new. That alone makes it worth a closer look.

For 2026, Jaguar streamlined the lineup to three distinct trims, each paired with its own powertrain. Every F-PACE comes standard with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission.

F-PACE Trims at a Glance

TrimEngineHP0-60 MPHStarting MSRP
P250 R-Dynamic S2.0L Turbo I-4246 hp6.9 sec~$57,000
P400 R-Dynamic S3.0L Turbo I-6 MHEV395 hp5.4 sec~$66,500
SVR 575 Edition5.0L Supercharged V8567 hp3.8 sec~$92,400

What Comes Standard Across All Trims

New for 2026, Jaguar made several previously optional features standard across the board:

  • 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster — now standard on every F-PACE
  • Driver Intelligence Pack — includes head-up display, surround-view camera with 3D imaging, Wi-Fi hotspot, and autonomous Park Assist
  • Gloss black roof rails — a subtle but welcome design update
  • Meridian sound system — all trims now include this as standard equipment
  • Pivi Pro infotainment with an 11.4-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa
  • Heated front and rear seats with heated windshield
  • Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist
  • Blind Spot Assist and Emergency Braking

P250 R-Dynamic S

This is the entry point, and it’s far from bare-bones. The 2.0-liter turbo four delivers 246 horsepower, which is perfectly adequate for daily driving and highway merging. It rides on 19-inch wheels and comes wrapped in LuxTec leatherette with aluminum interior trim accents. If you don’t need blistering acceleration, this is the one Edmunds recommends — and honestly, it’s hard to argue. The savings leave plenty of room to add the Bright Exterior Pack or upgraded wheels.

P400 R-Dynamic S

Step up to the P400 and you get a mild-hybrid 3.0-liter inline-six that bumps power to 395 horsepower. The big upgrade here is Configurable Dynamics and Adaptive Dynamics suspension, which give you more granular control over the driving experience. It also adds 20-inch wheels. If you enjoy spirited weekend drives and want that extra punch, this is the sweet spot.

SVR 575 Edition

This is the one that makes you look twice. The 5.0-liter supercharged V8 produces 567 horsepower and rockets to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 178 mph. It includes unique bumpers, quad tailpipes, a heated SVR-branded steering wheel, and a 17-speaker Meridian surround sound system. With configurable and adaptive dynamics across the board, the SVR is an all-out performance SUV — and potentially a future collector’s item given Jaguar’s EV pivot.


Range Rover Evoque — Compact Luxury Entry Point

The Evoque has always been the most approachable way into the Range Rover family, and the 2026 model keeps things simple with just two trims. Both share the same mechanical platform.

Evoque Trims at a Glance

TrimEngineHPMPG (City/Hwy)Starting MSRP
S2.0L Turbo I-4246 hp20/27~$51,175
Dynamic SE2.0L Turbo I-4246 hp20/27~$56,375

What Both Trims Share

  • 9-speed automatic transmission with standard AWD
  • Leather seating with heated steering wheel
  • Panoramic moonroof
  • 11.4-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen
  • Adaptive Cruise Control and Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Terrain Response 2 off-road system
  • Towing capacity of 3,968 lbs

S vs. Dynamic SE — Is the Upgrade Worth It?

The $5,200 jump from S to Dynamic SE primarily gets you a standard surround-view camera system (optional on the S via the Technology Package), blind-spot monitoring, and more aggressive exterior styling. Interestingly, most automotive reviewers recommend the base S trim as the better value since you can add the same optional packages available on the Dynamic SE for less. That said, if you want the sportier look right out of the box, the Dynamic SE delivers.


Range Rover Velar — The Style-Forward Crossover

Positioned between the Evoque and Range Rover Sport, the Velar is the design-focused member of the Range Rover family. Its clean, minimalist lines and flush door handles give it a look that still turns heads years after its debut. The 2026 model year brings minimal changes — the main addition being an available carbon fiber roof spoiler — but the Velar’s existing formula remains compelling.

Velar Trims at a Glance

TrimEngineHPStarting MSRP
S (P250)2.0L Turbo I-4247 hp~$61,400
Dynamic SE (P250 or P400)2.0L Turbo I-4 or 3.0L I-6 MHEV247 or 395 hp~$67,500
Autobiography (P400)3.0L Turbo I-6 MHEV395 hp~$77,300

Standard Equipment Across All Trims

  • Grained leather seats with 14-way power adjustment
  • Two-zone climate control and heated steering wheel
  • 11.4-inch curved glass Pivi Pro touchscreen
  • Flush deployable door handles and sliding panoramic roof
  • Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Driver Condition Monitor
  • 8-speed automatic with AWD and Terrain Response 2

Trim Breakdown

  • S (P250): The entry point with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 19-inch wheels, and all the essentials. Clean luxury without excess.
  • Dynamic SE: Adds upgraded wheels, integrated fog lights, and performance braking. This is where you can opt for the more powerful P400 inline-six engine.
  • Autobiography: The top-shelf Velar with 20-way massage front seats, extended Windsor leather, electronic air suspension, and exclusive interior and exterior design details. Only available with the P400 powertrain.

Range Rover Sport — Athletic Luxury

The Range Rover Sport is where things start getting serious. It slots below the full-size Range Rover but adds a more dynamic, driver-focused character. For 2026, the big news is the arrival of three new SV trims at the top of the lineup.

Range Rover Sport Trims at a Glance

TrimKey Powertrain(s)Starting MSRP
SE3.0L I-6 (355 hp)~$83,700
Dynamic SEP400 / P460e PHEV / P530 V8~$90,800
AutobiographyP460e PHEV / P530 V8~$118,700
SV4.4L V8 (626 hp)~$152,000
SV Black4.4L V8 (626 hp)~$161,600
SV Carbon4.4L V8 (626 hp)~$169,500

All models include an 8-speed automatic, standard AWD, height-adjustable adaptive air suspension, and Terrain Response driving modes.

Key Features by Trim

  • SE: This is already a well-loaded truck. You get leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, a 15-speaker Meridian stereo, surround-view camera, adaptive air suspension, 13.1-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen, and a 13.7-inch digital instrument cluster. Starts with the 355-hp inline-six.
  • Dynamic SE: Opens up your powertrain choices significantly — you can go with the 395-hp P400, the plug-in hybrid P460e with ~53 miles of EV range, or the 523-hp V8. Adds sportier styling elements and upgraded wheels.
  • Autobiography: This is the traditional flagship, and it’s loaded. Think 22-way massaging front seats, heated/ventilated/power-reclining rear seats, soft-close doors, four-zone climate control, rear window sun blinds, semi-aniline leather, a center console refrigerator, configurable cabin lighting, and illuminated seatbelt buckles. Off-road capability steps up too, with four-wheel steering and 22-inch wheels.
  • SV / SV Black / SV Carbon: These are the new crown jewels. All three pack a 626-hp V8, upgraded suspension, and SV-exclusive interior and exterior treatments. The SV Black adds full gloss-black detailing, while the SV Carbon swaps in lightweight carbon fiber accents on elements like the engine cover, brake calipers, and seatbacks.

Range Rover — The Icon

The full-size Range Rover needs no introduction. It’s the gold standard for luxury SUVs, and the 2026 model year refines the formula with subtle but meaningful updates. Rear seat entertainment is now a no-cost option on select SWB trims, SV models ride on standard 23-inch wheels, and Haptic Body and Soul Seats come standard on all SV front rows.

The SV Signature Suite brings reclining rear seats, center console Club Tables, and executive-level finishes. The P615 V8 delivers 606 horsepower.
  • SV Black: Everything the SV offers, but draped in Narvik Black paint with a Santorini Black metallic roof. 23-inch forged alloy wheels in Narvik Gloss Black, and an Ebony perforated SV near-aniline leather interior. It’s the ultimate expression of dark, understated luxury.

Land Rover Defender — Built for Anything

The Defender got a notable refresh for 2026 with new lighting, a larger 13.1-inch touchscreen, a redesigned center console, and standard Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control across the range. The base two-door Defender 90 with the four-cylinder is gone — if you want a 90, it’s V8-only now.

Defender Body Styles

BodyDoorsSeatingStarting MSRP
Defender 9025~$114,400 (V8 only)
Defender 11045-7~$63,500
Defender 1304 (extended)5-8~$74,850

Defender 110 Trim Lineup

The 110 is the heart of the Defender range and where you’ll find the most trim options:

  • S (~$63,500) — The starting point. Comes with the P400 3.0L inline-six (395 hp), Pivi Pro with 13.1-inch touchscreen, Terrain Response 2, and legitimate off-road hardware. Choose from Resolve textile, Grained Leather, or Robust Woven Textile upholstery.
  • X-Dynamic SE (~$75,200) — Adds visual upgrades like bigger wheels, extra body cladding, and a more refined cabin feel. This is the popular “sweet spot” trim for buyers wanting Defender DNA with extra polish.
  • X — Steps up with Configurable Terrain Response, height-adjustable adaptive air suspension with extra ground clearance, heated and ventilated front seats, and orange brake calipers. Only available on the 110 and 130.
  • Trophy Edition (~$87,400) — Heritage-inspired with special paint options in Deep Sandglow Yellow or Keswick Green, competition graphics, and adventure-ready accessories. This is the one that looks like it rolled straight out of a Land Rover event.
  • Outbound (~$86,700) — Focused on overlanding and adventure utility, with extra exterior protection and tailored cargo/storage solutions.
  • V8 (~$114,400) — The 5.0-liter supercharged V8 with 518 horsepower. Maximum towing capacity hits 8,200 lbs.
  • OCTA / OCTA Black (up to ~$169,900) — The most aggressive Defenders ever made. The OCTA packs a twin-turbo V8 with 626 horsepower, fully articulating axles, and the exclusive OCTA Mode that takes off-road capability to another level. The OCTA Black adds darkened styling elements.

What’s Standard Across All Defenders

  • Permanent four-wheel drive with locking differentials
  • Twin-speed transfer case
  • Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control (new for 2026)
  • 13.1-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • 3D Surround Camera system
  • Emergency Braking and Lane Keep Assist

Land Rover Discovery — The Family-Friendly Seven-Seater

The Discovery is the practical choice in the Land Rover family. It seats up to seven, offers class-leading towing capacity, and provides that signature Land Rover off-road pedigree without the Range Rover price tag.

Discovery Trims at a Glance

TrimEngineHPStarting MSRP
S2.0L Turbo I-4 (P300)296 hp~$60,200
Dynamic SE2.0L Turbo I-4 (P300)296 hp~$67,400
Gemini3.0L Turbo I-6 (P360)355 hp~$74,500
Tempest3.0L Turbo I-6 (P360)355 hp~$83,500

All models include an 8-speed automatic, AWD, and seating for up to seven.

Key Features

  • S: 20-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, electronic air suspension, hill-descent control, wade sensing, LED lighting, heated and power-folding mirrors. A solid starting point.
  • Dynamic SE: Adds sportier styling cues, upgraded interior finishes, and additional comfort features.
  • Gemini: Jumps to the more powerful 3.0L inline-six, which also unlocks a higher towing capacity of up to 8,200 lbs (vs. 5,952 lbs for the four-cylinder).
  • Tempest: The range-topper with the most luxury and tech. Premium finishes, advanced driver-assist features, and the full Meridian audio experience.

All trims come standard with Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Blind Spot Monitoring.


Discovery Sport — Simplified for 2026

The Discovery Sport has been around for over a decade now, and for 2026, Land Rover condensed the lineup to a single trim: the Landmark Edition.

Discovery Sport Landmark Edition

SpecDetail
Engine2.0L Turbo I-4
Horsepower246 hp
Transmission9-speed automatic
DrivetrainStandard AWD
Seating5 standard / 7 optional
Starting MSRP~$51,175
MPG (City/Hwy)20/26

The Landmark Edition rolls in the visual upgrades from the former Dynamic SE trim, plus a gloss black contrast roof, new 19-inch wheels, and a heritage mountain range logo that nods to the original 1989 Discovery. It’s a well-equipped, no-fuss package at the most accessible price point in the Land Rover family.

Standard features include leather seating, a panoramic moonroof, 11.4-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen, Terrain Response 2, over 8 inches of ground clearance, and hill descent control. If you need the optional third row, it’s available but best suited for smaller passengers.


Final Thoughts

Whether you’re shopping for your first luxury SUV or you’re upgrading from an older model, the 2026 Jaguar and Land Rover lineup offers something for nearly every lifestyle and budget. The F-PACE stands alone as Jaguar’s gas-powered holdout and a potential future classic.

On the Land Rover side, the range spans from the practical Discovery Sport at just over $50K all the way up to a quarter-million-dollar Range Rover SV Black.

Our advice? Narrow it down by what you actually need. Daily commuter with some weekend trail time? The Defender 110 X-Dynamic SE or Discovery Sport Landmark are great picks. Want flagship luxury with genuine off-road chops?

The Range Rover Autobiography checks every box. Looking for something that’ll make your heart race? The F-PACE SVR 575 Edition or Defender OCTA will absolutely do that.

Whatever you choose, take one for a test drive. These vehicles are built to be experienced, not just spec’d on a screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

Q: What’s the least expensive way to get into a new Jaguar or Land Rover in 2026? A: The Discovery Sport Landmark Edition and Range Rover Evoque S are tied at approximately $51,175 MSRP, making them the most affordable entry points. The Jaguar F-PACE P250 R-Dynamic S comes in just a bit higher around $57,000.

Q: What warranty do Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles come with? A: Land Rover models are covered by a 4-year/50,000-mile basic and powertrain warranty. Jaguar offers a slightly better 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty on the F-PACE. Both brands also include complimentary scheduled maintenance for the first year or 15,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Q: Are Jaguar and Land Rover phasing out gas engines? A: Jaguar is actively transitioning to an all-electric lineup. The 2026 F-PACE may be the last combustion-engine Jaguar available, with new electric models (including the Jaguar GT grand tourer) on the horizon. Land Rover is expanding its plug-in hybrid options across the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport lineups but is not yet eliminating gas engines.

Q: Do all Land Rover and Jaguar models come with all-wheel drive? A: Yes. Every 2026 Jaguar F-PACE, Range Rover, Defender, Discovery, and Discovery Sport comes standard with all-wheel drive. There are no front-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive options in the current lineup.

Jaguar F-PACE

Q: Is the 2026 Jaguar F-PACE worth buying if Jaguar is going electric? A: Absolutely — and some would argue that makes it even more compelling. The F-PACE remains a stylish, well-equipped luxury SUV with three distinct powertrains. For buyers who prefer internal combustion, this may be one of the last opportunities to buy a new gas-powered Jaguar. The SVR 575 Edition in particular could become a collector’s item.

Q: What’s new on the 2026 F-PACE compared to 2025? A: For 2026, Jaguar made the Driver Intelligence Pack standard across all trims (previously optional), which adds a head-up display, surround-view camera, Wi-Fi hotspot, and Park Assist. All trims also now include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, gloss black roof rails, and the Meridian sound system as standard.

Q: Does the Jaguar F-PACE come in a hybrid? A: The P400 R-Dynamic S uses a mild-hybrid 3.0-liter inline-six, which assists the gas engine for better efficiency and smoother power delivery. However, there is no plug-in hybrid F-PACE at this time.

Range Rover & Range Rover Sport

Q: What’s the difference between the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport? A: The full-size Range Rover prioritizes ultimate luxury and rear-seat comfort — think hot stone massage seats, executive rear seating, and the SV Signature Suite. The Range Rover Sport is more driver-focused, with sharper handling, sportier styling, and a more dynamic on-road character. The Sport also starts about $30,000 lower than the full-size model.

Q: Can I get a plug-in hybrid Range Rover? A: Yes. Both the Range Rover (P550e) and Range Rover Sport (P460e and P550e) are available as plug-in hybrids. The full-size Range Rover PHEV delivers up to 543 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 50 miles of all-electric range. The Sport PHEV offers up to 53 miles of electric range.

Q: What are the new SV trims on the Range Rover Sport? A: For 2026, Land Rover added the SV Black and SV Carbon trims alongside the existing SV. All three pack a 626-hp V8 and SV-exclusive interiors. The SV Black features all gloss-black exterior detailing, while the SV Carbon uses lightweight carbon fiber accents throughout. The SV Carbon tops the lineup at approximately $169,500.

Land Rover Defender

Q: Can I still buy a two-door Defender? A: Yes, but only as the V8 model. For 2026, Land Rover discontinued the base four-cylinder and six-cylinder Defender 90 trims. The two-door Defender 90 is now exclusively available with the 518-hp supercharged V8, starting at approximately $114,400.

Q: What is the Defender OCTA? A: The OCTA is the most extreme Defender ever built. It features a twin-turbo V8 producing 626 horsepower, fully articulating axles, and an exclusive OCTA Mode that optimizes every drivetrain setting for maximum off-road performance. It hit 0-60 mph in about 3.8 seconds in testing. The OCTA Black adds darker styling elements and tops out near $169,900.

Q: How much can the Defender tow? A: Towing capacity depends on the model and powertrain. The Defender 110 with the P400 engine can tow up to 8,200 lbs when properly equipped. Even the base configurations offer serious pulling power for boats, trailers, and recreational equipment.

Q: What is Terrain Response 2? A: Terrain Response 2 is Land Rover’s automatic terrain management system. It detects the surface you’re driving on — whether that’s mud, sand, snow, rocks, or pavement — and automatically adjusts throttle response, transmission settings, traction control, and suspension to optimize performance. It’s standard or available across most Land Rover models.

Range Rover Evoque & Velar

Q: What’s the difference between the Evoque and the Velar? A: The Evoque is the smaller, more compact option — it’s classified as a subcompact luxury SUV. The Velar is a bit larger, sits between the Evoque and Range Rover Sport in size, and offers more powerful engine options (including the P400 inline-six). The Velar also tends to have a more design-forward, minimalist interior. The Evoque starts around $51,175, while the Velar starts around $61,400.

Q: Does the Range Rover Velar have air suspension? A: Electronic Air Suspension is available on the Velar — it comes standard on the Autobiography trim and is optional on lower trims. It provides automatic ride-height adjustment and the “Elegant Arrival” feature that lowers the vehicle by about 1.5 inches for easier entry and exit.

Discovery & Discovery Sport

Q: Why does the Discovery Sport only come in one trim for 2026? A: Land Rover consolidated the Discovery Sport lineup into the single Landmark Edition for 2026. The model has been on the market for over a decade without a full redesign, so the Landmark Edition bundles the best features from the former Dynamic SE trim along with exclusive styling elements. It simplifies the buying process while keeping the price competitive.

Q: Can the Discovery really seat seven people comfortably? A: The Discovery’s first and second rows are spacious and comfortable for adults. The standard third row is usable for shorter trips but can feel cramped for taller passengers on long drives. The Discovery Sport also offers an optional third row, though it’s even more limited in space and best suited for children.

Q: What’s the best Discovery trim for towing? A: If towing is a priority, go with the Gemini or Tempest trims. These come with the 3.0-liter inline-six engine, which unlocks a class-leading towing capacity of up to 8,200 lbs. The base four-cylinder trims are limited to about 5,952 lbs.
