The Land Rover 24 D is a 1,999 cc, inline — four turbo — diesel engine produced between 2020 and 2025. It belongs to the second — generation Ingenium engine family, designed for enhanced refinement, emissions compliance, and thermal efficiency. Featuring high — pressure common — rail injection (up to 2,500 bar), variable geometry turbocharging (VGT), and dual overhead camshafts (DOHC), it delivers 110–140 kW (150–190 PS) and 360–430 Nm of torque, with strong low — end resp…
Production years 2020–2025 meet Euro 6d and US Tier 3 Bin 115 standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/6790).
The Land Rover 24 D is a 1,999 cc inline-four turbo-diesel developed for compact and mid-size SUVs (2020–2025). It combines high-pressure common-rail injection with a variable geometry turbocharger to deliver strong low-end torque and improved emissions performance. Designed to meet Euro 6d and US Tier 3 standards, it features dual-loop EGR, SCR-AdBlue technology, and advanced thermal management for consistent off-road and urban operation.

The Land Rover 24 D was used across Land Rover's Evoque/Discovery Sport/Defender platforms with transverse mounting and shared with Jaguar for compact sedan applications. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-shorter intake manifolds in the Evoque and revised torque delivery in the Defender-and from 2021 the facelifted Discovery Sport L550 adopted the 24 D with updated emissions calibration, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
The 24 D's primary reliability risk is EGR valve coking on early builds, with elevated incidence in mixed urban/highway use. Internal Land Rover quality reports from 2022 noted a significant share of pre-2022 engines requiring EGR cleaning or replacement before 100,000 km, while UK DVSA records show increased AdBlue-related faults in stop-start traffic. Short journeys and low-quality fuel increase EGR and SCR stress, making fuel quality and service adherence critical.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The 24 D offers strong performance and emissions compliance, but early models (2020–2021) had reliability concerns, especially EGR coking. Later revisions (post-2022) improved valve durability, so well-maintained examples can be robust. Regular servicing, using high-quality oil (5W-30 STJLR.51.5004), and EN 590 diesel greatly enhance longevity.
The biggest issues are EGR valve coking, AdBlue/SCR system faults, HPFP wear, and timing chain tensioner wear. These are well-documented in Land Rover service bulletins. Fuel quality and service intervals significantly impact reliability, especially for the CP4.2 pump and SCR system.
This 2.0L Ingenium diesel was used in the Range Rover Evoque (2020–2025), Discovery Sport (2020–2025), and Defender 90/110 (2020–2025). It also powered the Jaguar XE 19d/15d models from 2021–2025. All models meet Euro 6d and US Tier 3 standards, with post-2022 units featuring revised EGR and emissions calibration.
Yes. The 24 D is tunable via ECU remap, with stage 1 gains of +25–35 kW achievable on stock hardware. However, the CP4.2 fuel pump limits aggressive tuning. Supporting modifications (upgraded turbo, intercooler) are recommended for higher power. Tuning should preserve AdBlue and DPF functions to avoid system faults.
Very good. In a Discovery Sport 190 (140 kW) from 2022, typical consumption is ~6.4 L/100km (city) and ~4.8 L/100km (highway), or about 59 mpg UK combined. Real-world figures vary, but expect 45–55 mpg (UK) on mixed roads for a healthy 24 D with proper maintenance.
Yes. The 24 D is an interference engine. If the timing chain fails, pistons can strike open valves, causing catastrophic internal damage. Chain maintenance is critical—any cold-start rattle should be investigated immediately to prevent engine seizure.
Land Rover specifies SAE 5W-30 synthetic oil meeting STJLR.51.5004 specification. This oil is critical for HPFP and chain lubrication. Change intervals should not exceed 16,000 km or 12 months, and only high-quality EN 590 diesel should be used to protect the fuel system.
