Comparing Discovery 4 engines
The Disco has always come under a fair
bit of criticism for not having the same ‘wow factor’ as a Range Rover, but the current models on offer are doing their best to make the old fashioned stereotypes disappear.
Here we compare Discovery 4 engines to see which ones are best for the job you need them to do.
Discovery 4 XS
The new highly efficient SDV6 Advanced Sequential Turbo Diesel engine features unique parallel sequential turbochargers. Used for the first time in a V-engine, the first turbo optimises responsiveness by delivering increased torque at very low revs thus minimising symptoms of turbo lag, whilst the second turbo minimises steep power fade at higher revs
Performance (Manufacturer’s Estimates): 3.0 litre V6 Automatic 180kw
Maximum speed mph (kph/h) 112 (180)
Acceleration 0-60mph (0-100km/h) seconds 9.0 (9.6)
Fuel Economy: 3.0 litre V6 Automatic 180kw
Urban mpg (L/100km) 25.2 (11.2)
Extra urban mpg (L/100km) 34.0 (8.3)
Combined mpg (L/100km) 30.4 (9.3)
Combined CO2 emissions (g/km) 244
