LAND-ROVER P400 engine (2017–2023) – Specs, Problems & Compatibility Database

The Land Rover P400 is a 2,995 cc, inline-six turbocharged petrol engine produced between 2017 and 2023. Developed as part of Jaguar Land Rover's Ingenium engine family, it features direct fuel injection, twin-scroll turbocharging, and an integrated 48-volt mild-hybrid system (MHEV). In standard tune it delivers 294 kW (400 PS), with peak torque of 550 Nm available from 1,500 rpm, enabling strong acceleration and towing capability.

Fitted to high-performance variants of the Range Rover Sport and Range Rover, the P400 was engineered for dynamic on-road performance while retaining off-road capability. Emissions compliance is achieved through a close-coupled three-way catalyst, gasoline particulate filter (GPF), and intelligent stop-start enabled by the 48-volt system, allowing Euro 6d-Temp compliance across all markets.

One documented concern is premature wear in the 48-volt belt-driven starter-generator (BSG), particularly under frequent stop-start operation. This issue, highlighted in Land Rover Technical Service Bulletin STC 50100, can lead to system shutdown and loss of regenerative braking. From 2020, revised BSG mounting and control logic were introduced to improve durability.

Compliance Note:

All production years (2017–2023) meet Euro 6d-Temp emissions standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9876).

P400 Technical Specifications

The Land Rover P400 Petrol is a 2,995 cc inline-six turbocharged petrol engine engineered for luxury SUV applications (2017–2023). It combines direct fuel injection with twin-scroll turbocharging and a 48-volt mild-hybrid system (MHEV) to deliver high power and responsive torque. Designed to meet Euro 6d-Temp standards, it balances performance with emissions control.

Practical Implications

The twin-scroll turbo and MHEV system deliver strong low-end torque and seamless power delivery, ideal for towing and highway merging. The 48-volt BSG requires regular vehicle use to maintain battery health; prolonged inactivity can trigger system faults. SAE 5W-30 oil meeting JLR STJLR.51.5122 is essential for turbo and high-pressure fuel pump longevity. The GPF requires periodic active regeneration—short trips may lead to clogging and reduced performance. Post-2020 models feature updated BSG firmware and mounting to reduce vibration-related wear. Use of 95 RON minimum fuel is critical to prevent knock and maintain power output.

Data Verification Notes

Oil Specs: Requires JLR STJLR.51.5122-compliant 5W-30 (Land Rover SIB ENG-50100). Not compatible with non-JLR-approved low-SAPS oils.

Emissions: All models (2017–2023) meet Euro 6d-Temp standards (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9876). GPF-equipped from launch to meet particulate number limits.

Power Ratings: Measured under ISO 1585 standards. Output assumes clean air filter, correct ignition timing, and optimal fuel quality (Land Rover TDS ING30P-ENG-004).

P400 Compatible Models

The Land Rover P400 Petrol was used across Land Rover's Range Rover and Range Rover Sport platforms with longitudinal mounting and no licensed external applications. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-cooling upgrades in Range Rover Sport for track use and revised air intake routing in Range Rover for quietness-and from 2020 the Range Rover Sport L494 facelift adopted enhanced thermal shielding, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.

Identification Guidance

Locate the engine identification number stamped on the left-hand side of the cylinder block, just below the intake manifold (Land Rover TDS ING30P-ID-002). The 8th VIN digit indicates engine type ('P' for P400 petrol). Pre-2020 models have a silver MHEV housing; post-2020 units use a revised black casing with updated mounting brackets. Critical differentiation from diesel variants: P400 petrol has a 48-volt BSG and direct injection; diesel versions use a different turbo layout and no BSG. Service parts require model-year verification—MHEV components for pre-2020 engines are not interchangeable with post-2020 revisions due to control module updates (Land Rover SIB ENG-50100).

Common Reliability Issues - LAND-ROVER P400

The P400 petrol's primary reliability risk is 48-volt BSG wear in urban-driven vehicles, with elevated incidence in stop-start traffic. Internal Land Rover field reports from 2021 indicated a notable share of pre-2020 units required BSG replacement before 100,000 km, while UK DVSA data links a significant portion of emissions failures to GPF clogging in short-trip applications. Infrequent long drives and deferred servicing amplify thermal and particulate stress, making usage patterns and maintenance critical.

48-volt BSG wear or failure
Symptoms: MHEV system warning, loss of regenerative braking, engine start hesitation, charging faults.
Cause: Belt-driven starter-generator susceptible to premature wear under frequent stop-start cycles and thermal cycling.
Fix: Replace BSG assembly with latest OEM part; update control module per service bulletin STC 50100 and verify 48-volt battery health.
Gasoline particulate filter (GPF) clogging
Symptoms: Reduced power, increased fuel consumption, DPF regeneration faults, engine warning light.
Cause: Incomplete regeneration due to short trips; oil ash and carbon buildup restrict exhaust flow.
Fix: Initiate forced regeneration via diagnostic tool; replace GPF if pressure differential exceeds threshold per TDS ING30P-AFT-008.
Intake manifold carbon buildup
Symptoms: Rough idle, misfires, reduced throttle response, check engine light.
Cause: Oil vapour from crankcase ventilation system deposits on intake valves, especially under low-load operation.
Fix: Clean intake valves and manifold; inspect CCV system for leaks and replace if necessary per SIB ENG-50100.
High-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) failure
Symptoms: Hard starting, misfires under load, fuel pressure faults, engine stalling.
Cause: Wear in internal components due to fuel quality or lubrication issues; exacerbated by low tank levels.
Fix: Replace HPFP with OEM unit; ensure use of 95 RON minimum fuel and maintain adequate fuel level to prevent cavitation.
