Drivability will be the key

I had a jag f pace for a week (2 litre) bloody thing was way too busy on revs and gear changing

Got it and very interesting it is too!

I'll get it on the thread shortly and write a few comments as well....

Always going to get better torque delivery out of a 6-pot because the mean piston speed remains lower. Thumbs Up

Torque is measured on a dyno, bhp is calculated by effectively simply multiplying torque at any given engine speed, by the relevant number of rpm (I wish someone had told me that simple truth many years before I found out!).

Notice how much earlier the torque curve rises on the V6:

1000 rpm on the SD4 provides 250NM, while the same speed on the V6 provides 300NM
1500 rpm on the SD4 provides 500NM, while the same speed on the V6 provides 600NM


That's where you notice the low down pull of the V6.


The SD4 never rises above 500NM and goes into decline from 2500rpm
The V6 holds on to 600NM until 2300 rpm and doesn't dip beneath 500NM until 3500rpm. Notice the "bulge" that causes in the BHP at the same engine speeds


That's where you notice the instant and broad range of overtaking urge of the V6


Maximum bhp on the V6 comes in at 3750rpm, while it has to have a further 250rpm for the TD4 to achieve a figure that's around 15 BHP lower.

This is where you have to rev it harder to achieve BHP figures that come close to offsetting the lack of bottom end torque.


On the plus side, the TD4's torque curve is nice and flat in the mid range, which gives for a nice progressive increase in BHP as the revs rise, although it can be a bit dull as that kind of curve can make it feel a bit like an electric motor!

Update: I'm now guessing that the original questions that I was hoping to answer here were purely rhetorical then?! Rolling Eyes

I went from MY13 RRS SDV6 to MY16 DS ingenium and am well aware of the difference between the engine's but would I pay more for the smoother engine - no I wouldn't which is why I'm driving a cheaper Mitsubishi phev with petrol engine now - I didn't like the ingenium and the planned 3 cylinder MHEV DS sounds horrendous

I would be interested in the petrol phev currently being developed though in D5 or RRS provided the QC improves dramatically

To me £1500 in the grand scheme of things isn't a lot to pay for an engine that to me is better.

£1500 doesn't sound a lot if you put it that way but it's more when you consider how much you lost on the DS you weren't happy with then the D4 then changing for the D5 Confused

You must be disappointed J77 - I know I am Sad

I'm not disappointed with the D5 as such because really we new what we were getting, it's based on the RR platform so should be a really nice drive, price is a bit more than I really would like but not completely out of reach. Rough figures at the moment it's looking like £5 more for a car that has a lot more kit than my current SE. Been doing business with the same salesman for 10 years and put a lot of business his way, family etc so a good deal isn't hard to get.

My current D4 would be going next year either way, I don't like to keep them too long, I was looking at a FFRR but that would have to be 2-3 year old where as with the D5 I get best of both in a brand new car. I've looked at other cars but keep coming back to LR, pretty much had it down to your current ride, but have to pass the LR dealer to get there. The Disco has always been the car for me, my Fl2s were great but didn't enjoy them the same but suited me more as I spend most of the in the car myself.

I think going from D4 to DS was a bit optimistic in the fact I was hoping for a Disco in a smaller package, was never going to be. I had a few doubts but just ignored them, but this time I know to listen and trust my gut feeling. I don't think going from D4 to D5 will be as bad, I'm perhaps in the minority, as I like the current styling that's not to say I don't like the classic LR image, that will always be iconic design.

Hope it's everything you hoped for in the flesh Thumbs Up

I'm not disappointed in the look of D5 either but worried about build quality and penny pinching coupled with price increases Confused

If I still had the caravan I'd be tempted to try the D5 but for now I'll wait and see how you Guinea pigs get on Wink

The 2.0 matches the V6 for acceleration 50 -75 mph ...both in 6.0secs

Provided that the ECU is set to bounce the Sd4 off the rev limiter, with the peak BHP so closely matched with the V6 (albeit, higher up the rev range) and their being a weight saving, there's no reason why it shouldn't match it. It'll sound painful, but it ought to do it!
