A normally aspirated 4.4-liter V8 engine produces 305bhp, while a supercharged 4.2-liter V8 produces 400bhp; making this the most powerful Land Rover ever. Both engines are lightweight and use advanced torque-based engine management systems that, together with drive-by-wire throttle control and variable camshaft phasing (on the normally aspirated), continually adjust the engine to deliver optimum performance, fuel economy and emissions. While the result is increased performance, the upgraded engines are expected to have better fuel economy than the outgoing V8.

This is a slightly shortened, re-engineered and cheaper version of the D8 architecture on which the Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque and Jaguar E-Pace are built. Given the entry-level positioning of the new models, it is crucial for Land Rover to adapt an existing platform, rather than build a costly bespoke architecture, in order to keep costs down and justify the business case.

Jaguar Land Rover has allegedly concealed the problems since 2011 when it allegedly redesigned the chain tensioner to alleviate the problem, but did all of that without telling consumers. The plaintiff further claims the automaker redesigned the primary chain, primary chain tensioner and primary chain guide/rails not once but multiple times to try to prevent engine failures. The automaker sent technical service bulletins to dealerships between 2013 and 2015, and those bulletins are allegedly proof Jaguar Land Rover knew about the timing chain failures. Mr. Schmidt admits his chain failure occurred outside the warranty period, but he claims Jaguar still should have reimbursed him or provided him a replacement vehicle.
