2007–2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport TDV8 Specs & Performance

The 2007–2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport TDV8 is a first-generation diesel performance-oriented SUV that introduced a larger eight-cylinder diesel powertrain to the Range Rover Sport lineup. Its 3.6-liter V8 twin-turbo diesel gives the TDV8 a distinctive combination of strong torque and long-distance capability, while the permanent four-wheel-drive system preserves the all-terrain credentials expected from a Land Rover. The five-seat cabin, substantial cargo area, and automatic transmission further reinforce its role as a luxury SUV designed to combine road-going comfort with practical capability.

What sets the TDV8 apart from the earlier TDV6 is its larger diesel engine and stronger performance character, while it offers a different experience from the petrol V8 and Supercharged variants through its torque-focused delivery and diesel-oriented efficiency. Its substantial towing capacity and four-wheel-drive system also make it particularly useful for drivers who need both luxury and pulling ability. As an early eight-cylinder diesel Range Rover Sport, the TDV8 occupies an interesting place in the first-generation lineup, combining the model’s premium character with a powertrain built for effortless long-distance and heavy-duty use.
