The new 3.0-liter hybrid straight-six Ingenium diesel engine is designed to meet stringent global emissions norms and offer reduced fuel consumption. The MHEV is available in three engine outputs: 245 BHP, 295 BHP, and 345 BHP.

According to Land Rover, the new diesel engines are smoother, more refined, and provide higher mileage as they boast a new 48V mild hybrid system. In terms of numbers, the new D300 Ingenium engine offers a fuel economy of 33.0 mpg (11.6 km/l) as per the WLTP cycle while emitting CO2 as low as 225 gm/km. The D350 delivers a mileage of 30.8 mpg (10.8 km/l) with a CO2 emission of 241 gm/km. We know about the fuel- efficiency of D300 and D350 but the automaker did not mention the fuel-economy of the D250. It produces the least power and torque out of the three.

Apart from this, the new petrol range includes the following options:
