Land Rover has just introduced a selection of new
Ingenium four-cylinder engines for the 2018 Range Rover Evoque and 2018
Discovery Sport.
The first engine is dubbed the Si4 240 and is a
petrol-powered, turbocharged four-pot that delivers 237 hp and 340 Nm in both the updated Evoque and Discovery Sport. Thanks to the slightly
more slippery shape of the Evoque, the engine returns 38.7 mpg (7.3 l/100km) in
the baby Range Rover compared to the 35.3 mpg (8 l/100km) it returns in the
Disco.
The second new petrol engine introduced to both
models is the Si4 290 that offers up 286 hp and 400 Nm of torque.
That’s enough grunt to send the Evoque to 96 km/h in 6 seconds and 6.5
seconds for the Discovery Sport.
Last but not least is Jaguar Land Rover’s updated
twin-scroll SD4 diesel with 237 hp. Land Rover has quoted a fuel economy rating
of 44.1 mpg (6.4l/100km) for the Discovery Sport but hasn’t specified what the
SD4 diesel Evoque will return.
Also, JLR has updated the Evoque
for 2018 with a revised color palette, optional sports seats with perforated
leather and the availability of a new SE Dynamic trim for the Evoque
Convertible. As for the 2018 Discovery Sport, it receives more comfortable
seats, additional color choices and a Dynamic styling pack that comes standard
with the 286 hp petrol engine.
