The Land Rover 428PS is a 2,996 cc, inline — six turbocharged petrol engine produced between 2022 and 2025 as part of JLR's Ingenium engine family. It features a high — pressure direct fuel injection system (up to 350 bar), twin — scroll turbocharger, and DOHC 24 — valve configuration. In standard tune it delivers 314 kW (428 PS) with 550 Nm of torque available from 2,000 rpm, providing strong performance for luxury and high — speed driving applications.
Fitted to the Range Rove…
All production years 2022–2025 meet Euro 6d emissions standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9234).
The Land Rover 428PS is a 2,996 cc inline-six turbocharged petrol engine designed for full-size luxury SUVs (2022–2025). It combines high-pressure direct injection with a twin-scroll turbocharger to deliver smooth power delivery and robust mid-range torque. Engineered to meet Euro 6d standards, it balances refinement, performance, and real-world emissions compliance.

The Land Rover 428PS was used across Land Rover's L460/L461 platforms with longitudinal mounting. This engine received platform-specific calibrations-exhaust tuning in the Range Rover and intake routing in the Range Rover Sport-and from 2024 the facelifted L461 adopted revised ECU mapping and actuator control, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
The 428PS's primary reliability risk is turbocharger wastegate actuator sticking in early units (2022–2023), with elevated incidence in mixed urban/highway use. JLR internal field reports from 2023–2024 indicated a significant share of pre-2024 units required actuator replacement before 100,000 km, while VCA MOT data links GPF clogging to frequent short trips. Extended idling and poor oil quality exacerbate turbo and emissions system stress, making service interval adherence and correct oil specification critical.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The 428PS offers strong mid-range torque and excellent refinement, but early models (2022–2023) are prone to turbo actuator issues under mixed driving. Later revisions (2024+) improved actuator durability through hardware and software updates. Well-maintained engines with regular oil changes and proper driving cycles can exceed 200,000 km. Using correct JLR-specified oil is essential for longevity.
The most frequent issues are turbo wastegate actuator sticking, GPF clogging, and intake carbon buildup. Oil leaks from the valve cover and CCV system are also common. These are documented in JLR service bulletins and field reports. Regular maintenance and extended driving help prevent GPF and cEGR issues.
The 428PS is used in the Range Rover (L460, 2022–2025) and Range Rover Sport (L461, 2022–2025) as the P425 petrol. All models are Euro 6d compliant and use GPF technology. It is not shared with Jaguar due to platform-specific tuning and longitudinal mounting constraints.
Yes. The 428PS responds well to ECU remapping, with stage 1 tunes typically adding +40–60 kW. Stock internals are robust, but increased boost and torque can accelerate turbo and GPF wear. Tuning should include updated GPF regeneration logic and use of high-quality fuel and oil to maintain reliability.
In real-world driving, the 428PS achieves approximately 11.5–14.0 L/100km (24–20 mpg UK) in mixed conditions. Highway driving can reach 10.5 L/100km (~27 mpg UK), while city use may exceed 16.0 L/100km (~18 mpg UK) due to stop-start cycles and GPF regeneration.
Yes. The 428PS is an interference engine. If the timing chain fails, pistons can contact valves, resulting in catastrophic internal damage. The triple-chain system is generally robust, but neglected oil changes increase risk. Any timing-related rattles should be investigated immediately.
JLR specifies SAE 5W-30 oil meeting STJLR.51.5116 specification. This low-ash, mid-SAPS oil is critical for GPF and turbo longevity. Oil must be changed every 16,000 km or 12 months. Using incorrect oil can lead to GPF blockage and actuator failure.
