Would be good to see mix of engine choices

Glad I went for SD4 in the end but my hand was forced by the lack of an Si4 Prestige. I think LR missed a trick there.

Heart said Si4 is the engine for the Coupe but head (and dealer) said "No no no be sensible think about 3 years down the line and resale. nobody will want a petrol!"

If they made a 6 cylinder diesel engine or bigger I would have gone for it even if it meant paying a hefty premium. I think a lot of you guys would as well as I think many of you wanted a bigger diesel engine for that bit better performance. That aside I also find it weird that it's the same engine powering fords and peugeots, etc!

Bigger diesel = more CO2, bigger fuel consumption BIK Tax would be too much for company drivers and too many other Land and Range Rover models toes to stamp on with the TDv6 3.0ltr (and it's possibly too heavy for the nose of the car, requiring big suspension components and bespoke design of parts = too much cost for LR)

Does that mean there's nothing in the pipeline for the near future as a few people that I have spoken to claim that this is something that JLR could be working on.

For me, the diesels are simply not powerful enough to provide the performance I want in a car. The Si4 is better but I still hope there might be a petrol range topper in the future, let's say an RR Evoque Sport with 300+ bhp. This might be a stroked and bored version of the Si4 engine, say 2.5l.
As for depreciation, we'll suffer more depreciation than anything we spend on fuel though I accept the Si4 is likely depreciate fastest, but a lack of restraint in the options list will also hurt.

Only SD4 coming to Brunei...and all auto, it seems.

Eventually I think the eD4 will be the biggest seller on the uk fleets,
But sd4 I reckon will be most popular overall

SD4 is 3000 EUR more than TD4. I don't think 20 Nm of torque are worth that much..
