The Land Rover P510 is a 2,996 cc, inline — six petrol engine produced from 2020 onward as part of the Ingenium engine family. It features a longitudinally mounted configuration with a 48V mild — hybrid system (MHEV), twin — scroll turbocharging, and direct fuel injection. Delivering 294 kW (400 PS) and 550 Nm of torque, it provides strong low — end response and refined performance suitable for full — size luxury SUVs.
Fitted to flagship models including the Range Rover (L460)…
Production years 2020–present meet Euro 6d standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/7890).
The Land Rover P510 is a 2,996 cc inline-six petrol engine engineered for premium SUV applications (2020–present). It combines mild-hybrid electrification with twin-scroll turbocharging to deliver responsive power delivery and improved efficiency. Designed to meet Euro 6d emissions standards, it balances performance with modern drivetrain refinement.

The Land Rover P510 was used across Land Rover's L460/L461 platforms with longitudinal mounting and integrated 48V MHEV architecture. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-reinforced engine mounts in the Range Rover Sport and revised cooling circuits in the Range Rover-and from 2022 the facelifted L460 adopted updated ECU calibration for improved boost response, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
The P510's primary reliability risk is turbocharger boost instability on early builds, with elevated incidence in cold-weather operation. Internal Land Rover quality reports from 2021 noted a significant share of pre-2022 engines exhibiting transient over/under-boost DTCs, while UK DVSA records show increased MHEV-related limp-mode events in urban-driven vehicles. Short-trip usage and delayed software updates increase system stress, making ECU calibration and oil quality adherence critical.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The P510 delivers strong performance and smooth integration with the 48V MHEV system, but early models (2020–2021) had reliability concerns, especially boost control instability. Later revisions (post-2022) improved ECU calibration, so well-maintained examples can be robust. Regular servicing and using high-quality oil (0W-20 LR021508) greatly aid longevity.
The biggest issues are turbo boost fluctuation (especially in cold weather), 48V MHEV battery degradation, and direct injector coking from low-octane fuel. Other complaints include oil leaks from gaskets and occasional ECU communication faults. These are well-documented in Land Rover service bulletins.
This 3.0L inline-six petrol is used in the Range Rover (L460, 2022–present) and Range Rover Sport (L461, 2020–present) as the P510 performance variant. It replaced the supercharged V6 and is part of the Ingenium MHEV lineup. All applications meet Euro 6d emissions standards.
Yes. The P510 responds well to ECU remapping, with stage 1 tunes typically gaining +30–50 kW. Stock internals are robust, but gains beyond 350 kW require supporting modifications. Tuning should preserve factory safety margins and use premium fuel to avoid knock and protect the turbocharger.
Moderate. In a Range Rover Sport P510, typical consumption is ~13.5 L/100km (city) and ~9.0 L/100km (highway), or about 26 mpg UK combined. Real-world figures vary significantly with driving style and terrain, but expect 22–28 mpg (UK) on mixed roads for a healthy P510 with active MHEV operation.
Yes. The Ingenium P510 is an interference engine. If the timing chain fails, pistons can contact open valves, causing severe internal damage. That's why chain maintenance is critical—any rattling at startup should be investigated immediately, though failures are rare due to dual-chain design.
Land Rover specifies SAE 0W-20 LR021508 (API SP, ACEA C5) low-viscosity synthetic oil. Always use a quality oil designed for high-performance petrol engines and change it every 15,000 km or annually to ensure turbo and MHEV component protection.
