The Land Rover L414 is a 1,997 cc, inline-four turbocharged petrol engine produced between 2020 and 2023. It features direct fuel injection, twin-scroll turbocharging, and an integrated exhaust manifold, delivering 147 kW (200 PS) and 320 Nm of torque. This engine is part of Jaguar Land Rover's Ingenium family, designed for responsiveness and efficiency in compact and mid-size SUVs, with a focus on low-end torque delivery for urban driving.
Fitted to the Range Rover Evoque and Discovery Sport models, the L414 was engineered to balance performance with emissions compliance. Emissions control is achieved through a close-coupled three-way catalyst and gasoline particulate filter (GPF), enabling Euro 6d-TEMP standards across all markets during its production run.
One documented concern is premature turbocharger wastegate actuator sticking, highlighted in Land Rover Technical Service Information Bulletin SIB-501182. The issue affects early 2020–2021 builds and is linked to carbon buildup restricting actuator movement. From 2022, revised ECU calibration and updated actuator hardware were introduced to improve durability and boost consistency.
Production years 2020–2023 meet Euro 6d-TEMP emissions standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/L414-E6d).
The Land Rover L414 is a 1,997 cc inline-four turbocharged petrol engine engineered for compact and mid-size SUVs (2020–2023). It combines direct injection with twin-scroll turbocharging to deliver responsive low-RPM power and improved efficiency. Designed to meet Euro 6d-TEMP standards, it balances everyday drivability with real-world emissions compliance.

The twin-scroll turbo provides strong low-RPM torque ideal for urban driving but requires strict adherence to 15,000 km oil service intervals to maintain turbo bearing and timing chain longevity. SAE 5W-30 oil meeting Land Rover TX1 specification is essential for high-temperature stability and cam lobe protection. Extended idling or short-trip operation should be minimized to prevent carbon buildup on intake valves and GPF clogging. The GPF system demands regular highway driving to enable passive regeneration. Post-2022 models feature updated wastegate actuators; pre-2022 units should be inspected per Land Rover SIB-501182. GPFs require periodic active regeneration and should not be removed, as this disables engine management adaptations.
Oil Specs: Requires SAE 5W-30 meeting Land Rover TX1 specification (Land Rover SIB 0123/12). Equivalent to ACEA A3/B4.
Emissions: Euro 6d-TEMP certification applies to all 2020–2023 models (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/L414-E6d).
Power Ratings: Measured under SAE J1349 standards. Output assumes 95 RON fuel (Land Rover TDS Doc. A32100).

The Land Rover L414 was used across Land Rover's L550/L551 platforms with transverse mounting and no licensed external applications. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-integrated air intake routing in the L550 and revised cooling layout in the L551-and from 2022 the facelifted L550 received updated turbo actuator calibration, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine identification tag affixed to the right-side cylinder head near the intake manifold (Land Rover TDS A32100). The 8th VIN digit indicates engine type ('H' for P200). Pre-2022 models have silver intake manifolds with black valve covers; post-2022 units retain the same appearance but feature revised wastegate actuator calibration. Critical differentiation from P250 variant: L414 delivers 200 PS with lower boost pressure; P250 produces 250 PS with higher boost and revised turbo mapping. Service parts require model-year verification—wastegate actuators for 2020–2021 models are incompatible with 2022+ due to internal design changes (Land Rover SIB-501182).
The L414's primary reliability risk is turbocharger wastegate actuator sticking in early models, with elevated incidence in vehicles subjected to frequent short journeys. Internal Land Rover field reports from 2021 indicated over 10% of pre-2022 units required actuator cleaning or replacement before 60,000 km, while UK DVSA data shows increased GPF efficiency faults linked to low-speed operation. Urban driving and poor maintenance accelerate carbon buildup, making oil quality and service adherence critical.
