THE 2010 RANGE ROVER SPORT AND DISCOVERY 4 SET NEW LEVELS OF PERFORMANCE, CAPABILITY AND REFINEMENT
Gaydon, Warwickshire, 8 April 2009 – The new 2010 Range Rover Sport and Discovery 4 will be unveiled today (alongside the 2010 Range Rover) at the New York International Auto Show.
Powerful, refined and economical new 3.0-litre LR-TDV6 diesel engine available on Range Rover Sport and Discovery 4 delivering over 30mpg
All-new 5.0-litre supercharged LR-V8 petrol engine available on Range Rover Sport (and on the Range Rover)
e_Terrain Technologies boost economy and lower CO2 emissions
Striking exterior design changes – restyled grilles, revised bumpers and the incorporation of LED lighting
Completely redesigned interiors bring new levels of refinement and craftsmanship
Enhanced terrain response for unrivalled performance on all terrains
Cutting edge technologies including surround camera system, Automatic High Beam Assist and Towing Assist
New engines redefine performance and economy
Land Rover is introducing two new engines for the 2010 model year following a joint development programme with Jaguar. The LR-TDV6 3.0-litre diesel engine alongside the LR-V8 Supercharged petrol engine set new benchmarks for performance and economy, boasting substantial increases in power and torque over their predecessors as well as lower emissions and reduced fuel consumption.
The class-leading LR-TDV6 3.0-litre betters the already impressive 2.7-litre diesel by 29 percent (power) and 36 percent (torque) respectively. At 600Nm the torque output of the diesel is thought to be the highest of any six-cylinder passenger car diesel in the world, but with nine percent improvements in economy and CO2 emissions over the 2.7-litre V6.
On the LR-TDV6 3.0-litre, a third generation common rail injection system with piezo injectors and an energy-saving fuel metering system, also make a substantial contribution to fuel economy, while a reduction in idle speed from 750rpm to 710rpm compared to the 2.7-litre diesel further reduces fuel consumption and emissions without compromising refinement.
The LR-V8 supercharged petrol engine is no less impressive, packed with innovative technical features enabling it to match supreme performance with extreme efficiency. Power and torque is considerably improved over the existing V8 supercharged petrol engine. For example, as fitted to the Range Rover Sport the new 5.0-litre supercharged engine produces 29 percent more power and 12 percent more torque than the outgoing 4.2-litre engine, yet CO2 emissions and fuel consumption are improved by 5.6 percent and 6.2 percent respectively.
Other engines available
The brand new engines will be supplemented by a choice of well proven existing power units. In addition to the new LR-TDV6 3.0-litre, customers will still have the option of ordering the Discovery GS model with the acclaimed 2.7-litre TDV6"
