Land Rover diesel models include: Discovery 4, Range Rover Sport, Freelander 2, etc. Land Rover is a British luxury all-terrain SUV brand. Taking the Discovery 4 as an example, its body dimensions are 4838mm in length, 2176mm in width, and 1882mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2885mm. In terms of power, the Discovery 4 is equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 engine, featuring popular technologies such as direct fuel injection and variable valve timing. Exterior-wise, the Discovery 4 has a tighter honeycomb grille for a more dynamic look, LED headlights that enhance its grandeur, and air intakes above the front wheel arches with silver trim for added texture.

As a Land Rover owner, I have plenty to say after driving diesel models for so many years. The current Defender lineup all offers diesel versions, like the Defender 110 with the optional D250 engine—its torque is astonishingly high, making off-roading and hill climbing feel like child's play. The Discovery 5's best-seller in the European market is the D300 diesel variant, capable of covering over a thousand kilometers on a full tank. The Range Rover Sport also has a diesel option, running as quietly as an electric vehicle with just 6 liters per 100 km. The older Freelander 2 was a top-seller in its diesel version, and you can still find them in the used market. However, note that some countries have recently halted sales of new diesel models, so check local policies if you're looking to buy.

Last week, I accompanied a friend to look for a used car and specifically inquired about the current status of diesel models at a Land Rover 4S store. The dealer mentioned that the Defender and Discovery models are still being produced with diesel engines in certain regions, equipped with the latest 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine, which provides ample power. The previous generation of the Range Rover Sport had an SDV6 diesel version, and some remaining stock can still be found. The Discovery Sport also comes with a diesel option, particularly suitable for long-distance travel. However, the salesperson advised considering environmental regulations when purchasing a diesel vehicle now, as some European cities have started imposing restrictions, though they are perfectly fine for suburban and long-distance use. It's recommended to opt for a particulate filter during the configuration process.

When researching Land Rover's diesel technology, I discovered some interesting details. Their latest Ingenium diesel engine utilizes high-pressure common rail and variable valve technology, achieving 2 liters less fuel consumption per 100 km compared to older models. The Defender D250 diesel version delivers a torque of 600 Nm, which gasoline engines simply can't match. Interestingly, the Discovery Sport diesel version has a 70-liter fuel tank, easily surpassing 1,000 km on highways. Maintenance technicians told me Land Rover diesel engines are most afraid of using the wrong fuel—low-sulfur diesel is a must. For winter starts, it's best to choose models with glow plugs, ensuring smooth ignition even at -20°C.
