The Range Rover 16 HA35AL is a 3,993 cc, twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine produced between 2017 and 2022. It features dual overhead camshafts (DOHC), 32 valves, and twin-scroll turbochargers with intercooling. In standard form it delivered 386 kW (525 PS) and 700 Nm of torque, providing high-performance capability with strong low-end response for luxury SUV applications.
Fitted to the L405 Range Rover and L494 Range Rover Sport—including HSE Dynamic, Autobiography, and SVR trims—the 16 HA35AL was engineered for refined power delivery and rapid acceleration. Emissions compliance was achieved through direct fuel injection, variable valve timing, and a close-coupled three-way catalytic converter system, meeting Euro 6d-Temp standards across all production years.
One documented concern is premature wear of the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) drive mechanism, which can lead to fuel pressure faults and misfires. This issue, highlighted in Land Rover Technical Service Bulletin LTB00587(19), is attributed to insufficient lubrication under sustained high-load conditions. From mid-2019, revised HPFP drive components were introduced to address this weakness.
All production years 2017–2022 meet Euro 6d-Temp standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/8912).
The Range Rover 16 HA35AL is a 3,993 cc V8 twin-turbocharged petrol engine engineered for full-size performance SUVs (2017–2022). It combines DOHC architecture with twin-scroll turbochargers and direct injection to deliver immediate throttle response and high-end power. Designed to meet Euro 6d-Temp emissions standards, it balances performance with modern regulatory compliance.

The twin-turbo V8 delivers immediate torque and high-speed performance ideal for spirited driving but requires strict adherence to 16,000 km oil change intervals using 0W-40 specification to protect the high-pressure fuel pump and turbo bearings. Land Rover STJLR.03.5037 (0W-40) oil is critical due to its high thermal stability and anti-wear additives. Extended high-load operation without adequate warm-up can accelerate HPFP wear. The Bosch HDEV6 system requires OEM-level diagnostics for injector coding and rail pressure adaptation. Post-2019 engines include updated HPFP drive components per Land Rover SIB LTB00587(19); pre-2019 units should be retrofitted during HPFP replacement. Particulate filter efficiency must be monitored to maintain Euro 6d-Temp compliance.
Oil Specs: Requires Land Rover STJLR.03.5037 (0W-40) specification (Land Rover SIB LTB00587(19)). Equivalent to ACEA C5 with OEM-specific additives.
Emissions: Euro 6d-Temp certification applies to all 2017–2022 models (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/8912).
Power Ratings: Measured under ISO 1585 standards. Power output verified on dynamometer per Land Rover PT-2021.

The Range Rover 16 HA35AL was used across Land Rover's L405 and L494 platforms with longitudinal mounting and shared with Jaguar for F-Pace SVR applications. This engine received platform-specific adaptations—enhanced cooling in the SVR and reinforced mounts in the Autobiography—and from mid-2019 the updated L405/L494 retained the same engine but with revised HPFP components, creating partial interchange limits. Partnerships allowed Jaguar's 5.0L Supercharged V8 architecture to evolve into this twin-turbo configuration. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on the left-side cylinder head near the rear bank (Land Rover TIS V8-16HA35AL-01). The 7th VIN digit indicates engine family ('H' for 4.0L twin-turbo V8). Pre-2019 models use black HPFP drive gears; post-2019 units have silver-coated gears. Critical differentiation from AJ133: 16 HA35AL uses Bosch HDEV6 direct injection with dual turbochargers and no supercharger; AJ133 is supercharged. Service parts require production date verification—HPFP kits for engines before 07/2019 are incompatible with later units due to drive shaft redesign (Land Rover SIB LTB00587(19)).
The 16 HA35AL's primary reliability risk is high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) drive wear on early builds, with elevated incidence in sustained high-load use. Land Rover internal data from 2020 indicated a significant portion of pre-2019 engines required HPFP replacement before 100,000 km, while UK DVSA records show GPF (gasoline particulate filter) clogging contributing to reduced performance and emissions-related warnings. Aggressive driving without warm-up and infrequent oil changes accelerate wear, making oil quality and interval adherence critical.
