Ingenium Inline-Four Will Join Land Rover’s Powertrain Offerings for 2018

JLR's new Ingenium 2.0 liter gasoline engine will go into 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport and 2018 Range Rover Evoque. Jaguar already offers this engine in 2018 XE, XF, F-Pace, and F-Type. This marks the end of Ford sourced 4-cylinder engines at JLR. From Car and Driver. http://blog.caranddriver.com/ingenium-inline-four-will-join-land-rovers-powertrain-offerings-for-2018/

 

 

Change is afoot under the hoods of Land Rover’s smallest crossover SUVs. Both the Land Rover Discovery Sport and the Range Rover Evoque will welcome Jaguar Land Rover’s new family of Ingenium inline-four engines under their stubby snouts for the 2018 model year. These replace a tired and laggy Ford-sourced turbo four currently occupying space under both vehicles’ hoods. While Europeans have access to both gasoline- and diesel-burning Ingenium engines, we in the U.S. probably will be limited to a single, gas-sipping turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. It likely will be offered in two power grades, one rated at 240 horsepower and the other at 290. Those figures could change slightly after the engine is certified for our market. The same basic engine produces 247 horsepower in the 2018 Jaguar XE, XF, and F-Pace and 296 in the 2018 F-type.

Filed under, "Old News".....everybody knew that the idea of sourcing motors from FoMoCo would be as short term arrangement.

 

Oh, and there is this too...

 

the Ingenium four-pot incorporates direct fuel injection, a twin-scroll turbocharger, and an integrated exhaust manifold.

 

I wonder where they got that idea from....

The engine contract with Ford was actually ten years and it was Ford a few yeas back who advised J/LR

that supply volumes of the 2.0 GDIT engines would become tight as Ford prioritized its own needs first.

 

J/LR have spun the new Ingenium's gasoline-diesel virtues but clearly, economics drives the need

for diesel and gasoline I-4s to be closely aligned and produced on the one architecture.
