Following a report from last week (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/14/range-rover-dropping-v8-base-engine-in-favor-of-supercharged-v6/), Land Rover (http://www.autoblog.com/land+rover) has officially announced that the 2014 Range Rover (http://www.autoblog.com/land+rover/range+rover) will be offered with a new supercharged 3.0-liter V6 as its base engine, replacing the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8. And not to worry, the charming 510-horsepower supercharged V8 will still be available.
The new V6 is the same unit recently stuffed under the hood of the Jaguar XF (http://www.autoblog.com/jaguar/xf) and XJ (http://www.autoblog.com/jaguar/xj), good for 340 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, running to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission and featuring start/stop fuel-saving technology. Hitting 60 miles per hour will take 7.1 seconds - a reduction of six-tenths of a second versus the outgoing 5.0-liter mill, and top speed is rated at 130 miles per hour.
Where this new engine really helps the Range Rover is in fuel economy. The 3.0-liter engine is estimated to achieve EPA ratings of 16/22/18 miles per gallon (city/highway/combined), improvements of four mpg in each driving cycle.
