Impossible as the Disco sport utilise the Tranverse engine layout which can accommodate only 4 cylinders. JLR 4 cylinders are decent already, improving the reliability (especially electrical) is what they need to focus on.

Oops - thanks for setting the record straight. That was an embarrassing technical boo boo.

Won’t take it off topic from the Range Rover from here.

Cheers.

Wow. I didn’t know they source BMW engines.

If only the Discovery Sport etc could come with the X5 3.0d. Now that’s something I’d be more willing to sign up for!

The new discovery sport has a hybrid petrol architecture with a 197 bhp 3 cylinder engine and a 100 bhp electric motor giving out 300 bhp. The pure electric range is some 60 odd km and the combined mpg is a high 55 mpg (19.x kmpl), which is fantastic for a suv which does 0-100 in 6.2 seconds.
