When compared to a gas engine, diesel delivers far more maximum torque. This provides you with the immediate boost of power that you you're asking the engine to deliver when you're hauling a heavy load, climbing a hill, or trying to pass a slower vehicle on the highway. Land Rover research has shown that a diesel engine can deliver up to 32.5 percent more maximum torque than a similarly-sized gas engine.
The Range Rover Velar can be equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine that delivers 180 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. Need more? The Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Land Rover Discovery all can get a 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel V6 that pushes out 254 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque.
Diesel is one of the most efficient fuels on planet Earth, in part because it has a higher energy density thanks to the fact that it is less processed than traditional gasoline. Combine that high energy density with the improved efficiency found in compression-ignition diesel engines, and the result is much better fuel economy and significantly cleaner emissions. The result? Markedly improved mpg numbers both in the city and on the highway.
Just as an example of how diesel improves efficiency, the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport turbo diesel engines deliver 29 percent better city mpg, 26 percent better highway mpg, and 32 percent combined mpg when compared to the V6 gasoline engine's numbers.
If you spend most of your driving time on city streets, probably not. However, if you commute from outside the city, routinely travel on the highway between towns, or enjoy taking leisurely drives on country roads, then a diesel engine absolutely fits the bill.
Once you determine that a diesel engine is right for you, the real fun begins. You have four distinctly different models that offer a diesel engine, so choosing among the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar and Land Rover Discovery is an enjoyable task indeed. Your preference for more traditional styling versus unique appeal and city-friendly sizing will surely play a factor, but we advise that you visit Land Rover Houston North and examine each model for yourself to be sure.
