Land Rover’s e-Terrain technologies boost economy and lower CO2 emissions in Discovery 4.
The new highly efficient and refined LR-TDV6 3.0 twin turbo diesel engine delivers a 9 percent* fuel economy improvement (EU combined cycle) and ten percent* less CO2 emissions, at the same time as increasing power by 29%, all compared with the existing 2.7-litre engine. Torque increases even more, up 36% to 600Nm - believed to be the highest torque output of any 6-cylinder, production diesel, passenger vehicle engine in the world.
- 0-60mph time of 9.0 seconds (0-100 km/h in 9.6 seconds) - a24 percent improvement over the 2.7-litre
- Fuel consumption improved by 9 percent over 2.7 litre TDV6, delivering 30.4mpg (9.3 l/100km) on Combined EU cycle
- CO2 figure of 244g/km
- The parallel sequential turbocharging system of the 3.0-litre diesel makes use of its larger, primary turbo most of the time whilst the smaller secondary turbo remains dormant when higher power is not required
- At standstill, the idle speed of the V6 has been reduced from 750rpm to 710rpm, giving a fuel saving without compromising refinement
- An Intelligent Power Management System includes Smart Regenerative Charging, so whenever possible the alternator charges the battery when it is most economical to do so
- Aerodynamic changes to the front end educe drag
- The new air conditioning pump is driven through a clutch which disengages when the air conditioning is not in use
- 16,000 mile (25,000 km) service intervals
- The LR-TDV6 3.0 is mated to the revised and super-smooth ZF HP28 6-speed automatic transmission
