The least powerful Range Rover model just become a little more appealing for the 2019 model year. A new 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine has just been added, along with a host of other improvements.
The company is replacing a single-turbo V6 with a twin-turbo one, but you wouldn't know just by looking at the specs. Power has only gone up a little, from 258 to 275 HP. Meanwhile, torque is boosted from 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) to 625 Nm (461 lb-ft).
It's stated that the unit "combines performance with efficiency" to deliver fuel consumption of 36.7mpg (7.7 l/100km) and CO2 emissions of 202/km. However, the old unit average 6.9 liters and 182 grams. Confused? It's the WLTP cycle.
Also new for 2019 is that the 4.4-liter SDV8 (diesel) is matched to "enhanced eight-speed automatic gearbox that delivers superior efficiency by reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions."
We think they're talking about an eco option here. However, if that's what you're after, the greenest Range Rover is still the new P400e plug-in-hybrid model with 51 kilometers of pure electric range. A recent update called Predictive Energy Optimisation (PEO) tells you what the most fuel-efficient route is based on how hybrids work.
“Range Rover is the original luxury SUV and the most capable and refined vehicle of its kind,” said vehicle line director Nick Collins. “The latest updates ensure customers enjoy the peerless comfort they’ve come to expect, with more choice, convenience and safety than ever.”
And just like the 2019 Range Rover Sport, this full-size luxury SUV is now optionally available with Adaptive Cruise Control that keeps you in the lane and maintains a safe distance from the car in front while also being able to follow it.
The 2019 Range Rover is available in Britain, priced from £64,084. Considering work has already begun on the next generation, these are likely to be the last major updates of the Mk4.
