- Land Rover Canada showcases new fuel‑efficient, clean‑diesel powertrain, available in 2016 model year Range Rover and Range Rover Sport
Land Rover Canadian Diesel Powertrain
Land Rover offers consumers the option of fuel‑efficient diesel powertrains in two 2016 model year luxury SUVs, the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport each with a 24 percent improvement in fuel economy.
The 3.0‑litre Td6 turbocharged V6 diesel engine delivers effortless performance thanks to 254 horsepower and a low‑end torque output of 440 lb‑ft. Peak torque arrives at 1,750rpm in the Td6 while the gasoline V6 produces its 332 lb‑ft (450 Nm) at 3,500 rpm. This high torque output at low RPM, makes the diesel Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models particularly well suited to towing heavy loads and off‑roading where reaching maximum torque at low RPM is extremely beneficial.
Similarly, the low‑end torque of the Td6 allows the vehicles to deliver 0‑100 acceleration times comparable to the higher horsepower V6 gasoline models. The Range Rover Sport Td6 and Range Rover Td6 accelerate from 0‑100 km/h in 7.1 and 7.4 seconds respectively, compared to 6.9 and 7.1 seconds for gasoline V6 models.
2016 Range Rover Sport
Emphasizing a dedication to improved connectivity and capability, the 2016 Range Rover Sport line‑up includes new powertrain options, as well as enhanced connected‑car features over the previous model year.

Delivering effortless performance, the new 3.0L Td6 turbocharged V6 diesel engine produces 254hp and a low‑end torque output of 440 lb‑ft. The 3.0L supercharged V6 gasoline engine continues through 2016, offering a powerful 340hp and 332 lb‑ft of torque. Also, special for the 2016 model year is the HST LE model with a 380hp V6 engine, offering an extra 40hp.
