All of the big differences are between the 17 and 18MY cars. The biggest difference with the 19MY cars is that all of the CO2 output figures have been re-evaluated and shifted up substantially Shocked

The differences between 17’s and 18’s are well documented and it seems to be a mixed bag; somethings are better (seat size and comfort), other things are worse (no steerable Xenons, no thickly padded winged head restraints, no standard fit CD/DVD, no headrest mounted RSE) - overall, one step forward, two steps back I think.

I have a PDF copy of the full 2017 brochure that I can send you a link to, if that would help.

Interesting that the 0-60 time on the 2019 4.4SDV8 is now 7.0 seconds, I thought it was 6.5 before?

It was! Hadn’t noticed that.

The CO2 figure has gone from 219 to 245g, the fuel consumption has changed to a single quoted figure of “up to 30.4” (mine is definitely “up to 30.4”, it’s just that it’s not very close to it! Rolling Eyes ). The BHP and torque figures are the unchanged though Thumbs Up

Weird.

What might explain this series of changes - ie power/torque unchanged but 0-60 drops? 2016 SDV8 AB

Honesty gets my vote too. It explains how the 3.0D now has extra HP but the 0-60 remains the same.

There was never any evidence to suggest Land Rover were being dishonest under the old system. This is emissions and fuel consumption figure changes are probably down to changes in the testing methods since the previous ones were seen as being so open to abuse (VW again!).
