2009–2012 Land Rover Discovery TDV6 3.0 Specs & Performance

The 2009–2012 Land Rover Discovery TDV6 3.0 belongs to the third-generation Discovery (L319), using a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 diesel paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. AutoSpecsHub lists 242 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque, along with five doors and seven seats. This powertrain arrived during the later part of the L319's production and gave the large Discovery substantially stronger diesel performance than the earlier 2.7 TDV6.

Strong torque is the defining feature of this version. With 443 lb-ft available at 2,000 rpm, the 3.0 TDV6 has the muscle needed for towing, steep gradients, and demanding terrain, while the Discovery's full-time AWD system preserves its off-road credentials. AutoSpecsHub lists a 112-mph top speed and 9.3-second 0–60 mph time, making this a considerably more capable road performer than the earlier diesel while retaining the spacious seven-seat cabin. Independent specifications confirm the 3.0 TDV6's 2009–2013 availability, although the earliest 2009 examples were introduced partway through the year.
