Range Rover With New 3.0L Engine To Come To India
Following the introduction of the hugely popular 2013 model year Range Rover, Land Rover has already announced the 2014 model year Range Rover. With the new model Land Rover has introduced a new smaller displacement engine that will offer higher fuel efficiency, while maintaining performance. The 2014 Range Rover will arrive in India during the second half of 2013.
With the 2014 Range Rover, the automaker has replaced the naturally aspirated 5-liter V8 engine with a new supercharged 3.0 liter V6 engine. Specifically introduced keeping in mind emerging markets such as India, the V6 will deliver 340hp at 6,500rpm and 332lb-ft of peak torque between 3,500 to 5000 rpm. The supercharged V6 will power the Range Rover from a standstill from to 60 mph (96km/h) in about 7.1 seconds. Land Rover will continue to offer the 510 HP supercharged V8 engines. Both engines will be offered with an eight-speed ZF 8HP70 automatic transmission.
Land Rover says, the new supercharged 3.0 liter V6 produces 15 percent less emission compared to the naturally aspirated 5.0 liter V8. The 2014 Range Rover has a carbon emission figure of 254g/km and the luxury SUV will deliver a mileage of 7.65 km/l.
While mostly similar to the model it will replace, the new Range Rover will come with Land Rover's Intelligent Stop/Start system to further boost fuel efficiency.
Land Rover said, "Spray-guided direct injection (SGDI) delivers precise quantities of fuel directly into the combustion chambers at pressures of up to 150bar (2175PSI). The fuel is injected in a matter of milliseconds several times during each combustion cycle, creating a more homogenous air-fuel mixture for cleaner and more efficient combustion. A high compression ratio of 10.5:1 further improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions."
