Hello.

Im looking to buy my first range rover. Im looking for 3.0 SDV6 engine and i have 2 questions that are for me most important for deciding which one is for me.

1. TDV6 or SDV6 what is the main difference? i cannot find anything detailed on this topic. just that its basically same engine.

2. Locking rear differential. This is a must Which one has it. Does it mean that if rr has low range (duble speed transfer case) that it automatically has locking rear diff or not?
 
Welcome:)

No LR ever had a locking rear(or front) off the production line, only center diffs lock. Some manual, some electrickery:), some even variable;).

As for SD v TD they seem the same except the power seems to have upped on the SD which in the 3.0 doesn’t seem like the best thing to do:eek:

I read somewhere that the range rover without Low range has torsen central differential. And if it has low range it has central locking and there are some with rear-e diff that can be engaged.


So you suggest to get tdv instead sdv ?

I think most would suggest the V8 over the V6 as a better option, but you are talking about the sport, so I think you take your chance or change you choice of vehicle:)

I would rather have v8 but didnt find any honest review for this engine in sport model
 
“Honestly my dream one is ful size rr 4.4v8 but i didn't find any good and honest review about v8 in sport model”

We have no reason to complain about our L322 4.4tdv8 owned now for 7 1/2 yrs :) handled any stuff here:)

Supercharged versions got locking rear diff;)
