2006–2010 Land Rover Range Rover TdV8 Specs & Performance

The 2006–2010 Land Rover Range Rover TdV8 brought V8 diesel power to the third-generation L322, replacing the earlier six-cylinder Td6 with a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged V8. With 268 hp and 472 lb-ft of torque on AutoSpecsHub, the TDV8 delivers substantially stronger pulling power than the outgoing diesel while using a six-speed automatic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive. The combination is particularly well suited to the L322's size, giving this Range Rover a much more effortless character when towing or covering long distances.

The TDV8's real significance is how well its torque suits the Range Rover's luxury-and-capability formula. Its 8.5-second 0–60 mph time was a major improvement over the earlier Td6, while 472 lb-ft of torque, AWD, and a 7,716-lb towing capacity give it serious utility. It also arrived during the L322's continued development, making the 3.6-liter TDV8 an important step toward the stronger diesel powertrains that followed.
