2022 Land Rover Discovery: What's New, Specs & Features

The 2022 Land Rover Discovery is nearly a carryover from 2021. The key change is that the third-row seat became optional on the three S trims; the rest of the lineup received no major updates.
About the 2022 Land Rover Discovery
5th generation Discovery (L462, 2017-present), second year after the 2021 refresh.
Land Rover positions Discovery as a premium full-size family SUV that does more than most luxury three-row rivals when the pavement ends. Its core appeal is the mix of seven-seat flexibility, generous cargo space, strong towing ability, and genuine off-road capability from its height-adjustable air suspension and Terrain Response system. Buyers choose it for versatility and adventure-ready hardware, not just for a plush cabin or badge alone.
The P300 S is the straightforward family-focused version, with a 296-hp turbo four-cylinder, air suspension, an 11.4-inch touchscreen, and a surround-view camera. R-Dynamic S models add darker exterior details and two-tone leather, while the P360 HSE R-Dynamic pairs the 355-hp mild-hybrid six-cylinder with adaptive cruise control, upgraded seating, and a 14-speaker Meridian sound system.

Frequently asked questions
What changed on the 2022 Land Rover Discovery compared with 2021?
The main change is third-row seating: it became optional rather than standard on the P300 S, P300 S R-Dynamic, and P360 S R-Dynamic. Otherwise, the 2022 Discovery largely carries over from 2021.
Does every 2022 Land Rover Discovery have seven seats?
No. The third-row seat was optional on the three S trims, so some used examples have five seats and others have seven. The P360 HSE R-Dynamic has a power-folding third row.
Did the 2022 Land Rover Discovery get new engines?
No. It keeps the P300 296-hp turbocharged four-cylinder and the P360 355-hp turbocharged six-cylinder with mild-hybrid assistance introduced for 2021.
Is the 2022 Land Rover Discovery a major upgrade over the 2021 model?
No. The 2021 Discovery received the major exterior, cabin, engine, and touchscreen updates, while the 2022 model mostly repeats that refreshed version. The notable year-to-year difference is the third-row seat becoming optional on the S trims.
Which 2022 Discovery trim has the strongest engine and the most comfort equipment?
The P360 HSE R-Dynamic is the top regular 2022 trim. It has the 355-hp mild-hybrid six-cylinder, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, adaptive cruise control, a power-folding third row, and a 14-speaker Meridian sound system.

“It is the smoothest riding, low maintenance, safety enabled, beautifully designed (inside & out) luxury vehicle!”
“I am in love with my discovery sport. I was blown away with the features and the smoothness of the ride. The moonroof is amazing, it just feels so luxurious. My husband and I both agreed that we only want land rovers from here on out.”
