2021 Range Rover Autobiography

The Range Rover swaps its old V8 diesel for a straight-six with mild hybrid assistance, and feels none the worse for it. Out go the old TDV6 and TDV8 units, replaced by a single 3.0-litre straight-six Ingenium diesel incorporating 48-volt mild-hybrid technology - an integrated starter/generator that harnesses energy under braking and then uses it to boost engine response under acceleration. It’ll be offered in two states of tune - D300, with 296bhp and 650Nm of torque, and the D350, which pumps out 345bhp and 700Nm of torque. That higher-output power figure eclipses that of the old TDV8 - which may prove a good thing, because while nobody at Land Rover will admit it, market forces could well make this the final all-new diesel motor introduced on the Range Rover. The D350 officially delivers an impressive 30.8mpg on the WLTP cycle, with 241g/km of CO2. In a Range Rover Autobiography on 21inch wheels, the 345bhp and 516lb ft of torque give the vehicle 0-62mph acceleration of 7.1sec (0.7sec better than the old V8’s time) and a top speed of around 140mph.
