2021 Range Rover Velar P400e PHEV - The Engine

"The Range Rover Velar's range of powertrains does, however, offer some more novelties in the 2021 vintage. For example, the 3.0 liter in-line six-cylinder engine from the Ingenium family will be introduced under the Velar hood for the first time. The modern diesel and gasoline power units shine with their gentle development of their exuberant power and contemporary efficiency and environmental compatibility. MHEV has played a decisive role in this: 48-volt mild hybrid technology for increased performance with reduced emissions and consumption. The new in-line six-cylinder engines, developed and produced independently by Jaguar Land Rover, are available in Velar as the D300 diesel version with 221 kW (300 hp) or the P400 petrol version with 294 kW (400 hp) - coupled as standard in the R-Dynamic with electronically controlled air suspension for pampering Range Rover comfort. Combined with the latest engine technology, the MHEV package ensures the desired and required balance of performance and efficiency. The mild hybrid system uses a belt-starter alternator that captures the energy normally lost during braking or deceleration and directs it to the 48-volt lithium-ion battery located under the trunk. There the energy is available for later use: for example, to support the gasoline engine during acceleration or for an even smoother and faster response of the start-stop system.
