If you’ve been considering one of the models in the current Land Rover lineup, then you’re likely to have noticed that there are a number of different powertrain options to choose from. If you’re interested in the 2016 Land Rover Range Rover or 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport, for example, you’ll see that both are offered with a commanding Td6 Diesel engine. Both of these Land Rover Diesel SUVs provide impressive levels of style and luxury, and with the diesel engines you’ll find additional advantages worth considering. Take a closer look at both before making the drive to Land Rover Fort Myers, just a short drive from Marco Island.
There are a number of different advantages to considering a diesel engine for your next Land Rover. These powertrains run on one of the most efficient fuel sources around, and diesel fuel is significantly less processed than gasoline. Thanks to its high energy density and the efficiency provided by compression-ignition diesel engines, you’ll find that these vehicles also provide significantly better fuel economy and noticeably lower emissions than traditional gas engines. On top of that, the turbo-diesel power provided by the Td6 delivers more commanding low end torque.
With an MSRP from $86,645, the Land Rover Range Rover Diesel comes powered by a turbo-diesel 3.0L V6 Td6 engine that produces 254 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque. This power is sent to a full-time four-wheel drive system, with EPA estimates coming in at an impressive 29 mpg highway and 22 mpg city. That’s an overall fuel economy increase of 32% and a max torque increase of 32.5% over the V6 gasoline engine. That max towing capacity on this model is a commanding 7,716 pounds.
Starting at $66,950 MSRP, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport is equipped with the same turbo-diesel 3.0L V6 Td6 engine. Output on this model is identical, as are fuel economy numbers. The result, again, is a tremendous increase in both fuel economy and max torque.
Like every model in the Land Rover lineup, both Land Rover diesel SUVs deliver an outstanding combination of style, comfort, luxury, and high-tech connectivity. With these models, though, you’ll also experience a unique kind of performance that is as smart as it is thrilling.
