For starters, it has a main bearing each side of each piston - 7 mains vs 4 in the TDV6/SDV6, so no vibration resonance risk of flexing the crankshaft.

I'm not an expert on the technologies of engines, but I can tell you it is a brilliant engine, very quick, smooth and very good on fuel. Highly recommended Thumbs Up It is a lot cheaper than the 350 too! Not really sure why you would need the 350 unless you are towing. All LR cars from 1984

A 21.5 D350 is what I would want if I was to replace my 4.4 TDV8 L322.

it would appear that the price point that I am interested in, low 40's the 4.4 diesel or the 3 litre MHEV are available...... which is the best choice...... im not bothered about going fast, more interested in cruising, quietness and MPG.....

cheers

The straight six is smoother and more economical.

See if you can find a 3.0 HEV with the antiroll stability system as an option... This was fitted to all 4.4's as standard but makes a HUGE difference in both drivability & passenger comfort/fatigue motion sickness... Thats the biggest issue for me with the 3.0, boaty floaty handling at any speed. The 3.0 feels under controlled for my liking... Thumbs Up

in an ideal world I would find a 4.4 or 3.0mhev or even a plug in 2.0 in lwb in red, blue, or green with a tow bar and ski hatch option but they seem to be thin on the ground. Laughing

Completely agree, I wouldn’t have bought one without it. It was fairly ‘boaty’ with it! I had it in Sport whenever I wasn’t on the motorway as it reduced the delay for the anti roll to kick in. Or at least it felt that way. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

hi andyleeds

I had a 2015 RRS with the SDV6 and now a D350 L494 (so, "old model" with new engine Smile )

the D350 is a silky smooth engine with good - very good consumption behaviors Smile
here in Switzerland on the highway with 120-130km/h I can drive it with max 8l/100km
overall consumption is 9.5l/100km plus/minus

the engine has absolute zero vibrations, is silky smooth, VERY quite. Often I am looking on the ODO if the engine is idling or not Smile it's really interesting and a fascinating engine

If I would be on your point, I would look forward for a D300 or D350 Range Rover Sport HST D350

mine is a 2018 4.4V8 and I love it, smooth enough, pretty quiet, and plenty enough power/torque and sounds great when span up. I am getting a real world average of 31mpg which is obviously a mix of town and distance. On a long run, the most I have seen is a real world 42mpg (44 on the computer) for a motorway trip from Cheshire to the south coast and back @60-65mph.

We had a Defender courtesy car last week that had the D300 engine and it was lovely. Smoother than mine, probably a touch quieter, had plenty of go when booted into life. I cant comment on the mpg as I didnt have it long enough. Out of the two, I'd say the D300/D350 is the better engine but as mentioned above, the add ons that that 4.4 had as standard (and mine is a well spec'd AB) may mean I go to another 4.4 (last in the line) for my next car if a properly spec'd D300/D350 doesnt come into range later in the year.

If the rest of the spec was comparable, the D300/D350 would win (but not by much). First time FFRR owner
