All-New Range Rover Adds Supercharged V6

by Marc Greig - 25/02/13

Range Rover has confirmed its all-new model range will be boosted by the arrival of a new supercharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine.

Expect the new powerplant to be on-sale in Australia by next Spring.
 

Range Rover says the supercharged V6 will be good for 250kW/450Nm and, like the rest of the all-new Range Rover lineup will drive through the silky eight-speed automatic transmission.

Zero to 100km/k takes 7.4 seconds and the towing capacity will be 3500kgs.

All of this with fuel consumption claimed to better the previous naturally-aspirated V8 by 15 per-cent.

No word yet on local pricing.
