The Range Rover C 25 A2 Petrol is a 2,494 cc, inline‑four turbocharged petrol engine produced from 2023 to present. It features direct fuel injection, dual overhead camshafts (DOHC), and a 48V mild-hybrid system integrated via a belt-driven starter-generator. In standard P300 form it delivers 221 kW (300 PS) and 400 Nm of torque, enabling responsive urban performance while supporting seamless stop-start functionality and torque-fill during gear shifts.
Fitted to the L460 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport (2023 onward), the C 25 A2 was engineered for compact luxury SUV efficiency, balanced performance, and refined daily usability. Emissions compliance is achieved through gasoline particulate filtration (GPF), variable valve timing, and precise air-fuel ratio control, meeting Euro 6d standards across all global markets.
One documented concern is premature wear of the 48V belt-driven starter-generator (BSG) pulley bearing under sustained high-load conditions, highlighted in Land Rover Service Bulletin LTB00503. This stems from thermal stress in the front accessory drive system during repeated stop-start cycles in hot climates.
All production years (2023–2025) meet Euro 6d emissions standards universally (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9033).
The Range Rover C 25 A2 Petrol is a 2,494 cc inline‑four turbocharged petrol engine engineered for compact luxury SUVs (2023–2025). It combines a 48V mild-hybrid system with a twin-scroll turbocharger to deliver brisk acceleration and improved urban efficiency. Designed to meet Euro 6d standards, it balances everyday drivability with stringent emissions compliance.

The 48V MHEV system enables seamless stop-start and torque-fill during gear changes, but requires a healthy 48V lithium-ion battery and belt-driven starter-generator. The BSG pulley bearing is susceptible to premature wear under repeated thermal cycling in hot climates—Land Rover recommends inspection every 30,000 km in regions above 30°C ambient. Use only STJLR.03.5022 0W-20 oil to protect turbo bearings and maintain MHEV calibration. The engine is non-interference; timing chain replacement is not serviceable but highly durable per TIS-LR-2581.
Oil Specs: Requires Land Rover STJLR.03.5022 (0W-20) specification (Owner Handbook L460-2023). ACEA C5 compliant with low-SAPS formulation.
Emissions: Euro 6d certification applies to all 2023–2025 models globally (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9033). Real Driving Emissions (RDE) compliant.
Power Ratings: Measured under ISO 1585 standards. Power output assumes 95 RON minimum fuel (JLR PT-2023).

The Range Rover C 25 A2 Petrol was used across Land Rover's L460 platform with longitudinal mounting and no external licensing. This engine received platform-specific adaptations—reinforced engine mounts in the Range Rover and revised cooling ducts in the Range Rover Sport—and from 2024 the MY24 update introduced minor ECU calibrations for improved BSG thermal management, creating minor software interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on the front timing cover near the 48V belt drive (Land Rover TIS TIS-LR-2581). The 7th VIN digit for L460/L461 is 'C' for this inline-four petrol variant. Visual identification: black valve cover with 'P300' badge, integrated exhaust manifold in turbo housing, and 48V battery mounted near firewall. Critical differentiation from diesel variants: absence of EGR cooler and DPF; presence of GPF canister downstream of catalytic converter. Software compatibility requires matching ECU part number—MY23 (5Q03-12C650-AA) vs. MY24 (5Q03-12C650-AB) per SIB LTB00503.
The C 25 A2 Petrol's primary reliability risk is 48V BSG pulley bearing wear in hot climates, with elevated incidence in vehicles operated above 30°C ambient. Land Rover internal field data (2024) indicates ~7% of early-build engines required BSG replacement before 40,000 km in Middle East and Southern Europe markets, while UK DVSA data shows no significant emissions-related MOT failures due to robust GPF management. Frequent stop-start cycles under high thermal load accelerate bearing fatigue, making periodic inspection critical.
