Another distinguishing characteristic is the Discovery’s 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V6 engine, which produces 254 horsepower at 3,750 rpm and 443 lb.-ft. of torque between 1,750 rpm and 2,250 rpm.

Land Rover claims the Discovery diesel will get to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds, and can achieve a top speed of 130 mph.
