Construction

The engine utilizes a high-tech DOHC with 24 valves, single turbocharger with an air-to-air intercooler, and an innovative compacted graphite iron (CGI) block construction. It is equipped with high-pressure common rail direct injection.

The Land Rover version of the engine has a single turbocharger, of a larger capacity than the twin-turbo design used by PSA and Jaguar. This is to improve the engine's low-speed torque range for off-road and towing applications.

It is also fitted with a very large, engine driven cooling fan to support low speed, high load driving such as those that may be encountered in desert conditions.
