The Range Rover and Range Rover Sport get a new six-cylinder diesel engine. The three-liter unit is made more economical and dynamic by a 48V mild hybrid system.
At three power levels: 249, 300 and 350 horsepower (and their associated 600, 650 and 700 Nm of torque), the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport feature a three-liter in-line six-cylinder diesel engine freshly developed by the Jaguar Land Rover team.
Replacing the previous V6 and V8 diesels, the engine is a big trump card to meet the stringent RDE2 norm nitrogen oxide emission standards at all power levels; with this, they were among the first luxury SUVs to respond to changing regulations. The most powerful version accelerates the Range Rover Sport to 100 km / h in 6.9 seconds; while its CO2 emissions are 237 g / km. These values are comparable to those of the previous 4.4 V8 diesel (340 hp, 740 Nm, 6.9 sec, 219 g / km) - the eight-cylinder CO2 emissions were measured according to the NEDC and not the stricter WLTP standard, so the a new engine is expected to emit less CO2 than its predecessor.
