When people discuss Range Rover vehicles, one of the foremost topics of conversation is regarding their engines. Land Rover and Range Rover are brands that made their name on blending off-road toughness with interior luxury and cutting-edge technologies, but one of the things that allows these cars to be so tough is their powertrain. Here’s a quick look at the technologies at the heart of the 2016 Range Rover powertrain.
First,
we’ll look at the engine of this new Range
Rover near Chicago.
The large SUV comes with your choice of two different engines, with
the first one being a LR-V6 Supercharged 3.0-liter gasoline engine.
THis beast cranks out 340 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Next up
is the LR 3.0-liter Td6 Turbocharged Diesel engine. This efficient
engine cranks out 254 horsepower while creating 443 lb-ft of torque.
Looking in more depth at this diesel engine, we’ll find that
diesel’s high energy density, coupled with the efficiency of
compression-ignition diesel engines, contribute to better mileage
over gasoline vehicles, as well as reduced emissions.
The
next aspect of the powertrain that we’ll look at is the
groundbreaking Terrain Response 2 system, which allows for
unparalleled off-road controls. This innovative system is designed to
automatically optimize the vehicle’s settings to suit any terrain.
Four-corner air suspension helps provide wheel articulation and poise
to Terrain Response 2. Next, whether you’re driving on or off-road,
the full-time intelligent four-wheel-drive provides maximum grip with
zero fuss. Handling is controlled by the Adaptive Dynamics system,
which features vehicle dampers to deliver optimum ride, control, and
composure.
