Who manufactures Land Rover's engines?
2 Answers
Land Rover uses Ingenium engines, which are independently developed by Jaguar Land Rover. The Ingenium engine is a modular engine, and the use of modular engines can reduce the manufacturing cost of vehicles. Land Rover is an SUV manufacturer originating from the UK, and the models under Land Rover are all SUVs. More information about the Land Rover Discovery is as follows: 1. Engine: The Discovery is a mid-size SUV. The domestic version of the Discovery uses two engines in total, one is a low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. 2. Configuration: The Discovery uses a MacPherson independent suspension for the front suspension and a multi-link independent suspension for the rear suspension.
I started paying attention to the automotive industry when I was young, especially the luxury SUV segment. The historical evolution of brands like Land Rover is quite fascinating. In the early days, Land Rover's engines were often manufactured by Ford, such as those used in the Range Rover and Discovery models in the early 2000s, because Ford was Land Rover's parent company at the time. However, after Tata Motors acquired Jaguar Land Rover in 2008, the situation changed dramatically. Nowadays, most new Land Rovers are equipped with the Ingenium series engines developed in-house by Jaguar Land Rover, all produced in their own factories. This not only includes manufacturing bases in the UK but also optimizes the global supply chain. I remember driving the new Defender—its engine was responsive, quiet, and about 15% more fuel-efficient. By taking control of the manufacturing process, Land Rover can better ensure quality, reduce reliance on external parts, and deliver a more stable and reliable driving experience. If you're considering buying a used Land Rover, I recommend checking the engine model—earlier Ford engines might require more maintenance, while modern in-house engines are more durable and hassle-free. This transformation reflects the brand's pursuit of innovation and independence.
