There will be some all-new Jaguar Land Rover engines powering the next generation of the vehicles. Jaguar Land Rover has announced it is developing an entirely new range of engines for its upcoming models. The range of engines has been called Ingenium and promises to deliver class-leading levels of torque, power and refinement whilst improving fuel efficiency.

Jaguar Land Rover engines

Up to 80kg Lighter

The Ingenium range consists of both petrol and diesel options that are easily configurable and flexible, meaning they can run multiple displacement s as well as turbochargers. The new engines feature lightweight aluminium blocks with each cylinder holding 500cc to make things simple. The use of aluminium has meant that in some cases the new engines are up to 80kg lighter than in the current range.

Computer Controlled

Much of the new engine’s components are electronically controlled to produce maximum efficiency. Computer-controlled variable oil, variable water pumps and electronically controlled piston cooling jets are installed to make sure the engines run at optimum efficiency, improving power and fuel economy.

Extensive Testing

The new range of engines has been thoroughly tested according to Jaguar Land Rover. These tests include a range of integrity and durability testing, including more than 72 000 hours of dyno testing and 2-million miles of real-world testing to ensure reliability over the long run.

Production of the new engine range will begin in early 2015, so look for it to set foot in the likes of Jaguar XE and Land Rover’s Discovery Sport first.
