The Range Rover T-Series 2.0L Petrol is a 1,997 cc, inline‑four turbocharged petrol engine produced from 2017 to 2023. It features direct fuel injection, dual overhead camshafts (DOHC), and a twin-scroll turbocharger with an integrated exhaust manifold. In standard form it delivers 184 kW (250 PS) and 365 Nm of torque, enabling responsive urban performance while supporting refined daily driving characteristics.
Fitted to the L494 Range Rover Evoque, L550 Range Rover Velar, and L405 Range Rover (base variants), the T-Series 2.0L was engineered for compact and mid-size luxury SUV efficiency, balancing performance with fuel economy. Emissions compliance is achieved through gasoline particulate filtration (GPF), variable valve timing, and precise air-fuel control, meeting Euro 6b (early) and Euro 6d (post-2020) standards across global markets.
One documented concern is premature wear of the high-pressure fuel pump drive lobe on the camshaft, highlighted in Land Rover Service Bulletin LTB00312. This stems from material fatigue in early production camshafts interacting with the Bosch CP4.2 pump’s roller follower under sustained high-load or low-oil conditions.
Production years 2017–2019 meet Euro 6b standards; 2020–2023 models meet Euro 6d (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/7845).
The Range Rover T-Series 2.0L Petrol is a 1,997 cc inline‑four turbocharged petrol engine engineered for compact and mid-size luxury SUVs (2017–2023). It combines direct injection with a twin-scroll turbocharger to deliver brisk low-end response and efficient urban driving. Designed to meet Euro 6b (early) and Euro 6d (later) standards, it balances everyday drivability with emissions compliance.

The twin-scroll turbo provides strong low-RPM torque ideal for urban driving but requires strict adherence to 16,000 km or 12-month oil change intervals to prevent cam lobe wear and turbo degradation. Land Rover STJLR.03.5007 (5W-30) oil is critical due to its specific formulation protecting the high-pressure fuel pump drive system. Cold-start idling should be minimized to reduce oil starvation at the cam-follower interface. The Bosch CP4.2 fuel pump demands ultra-low-sulfur petrol (ULP 95 RON min) to prevent premature wear. Post-2020 models feature GPF and revised calibration; pre-2020 units lack particulate filtration. Engines built before 06/2019 should have the camshaft/fuel pump inspected per Land Rover SIB LTB00312.
Oil Specs: Requires Land Rover STJLR.03.5007 (5W-30) specification (Owner Handbook L494-2017). ACEA A5/B5 compliant.
Emissions: Euro 6b certification applies to 2017–2019 models (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/7845). Euro 6d applies to 2020–2023 models with GPF.
Power Ratings: Measured under ISO 1585 standards. Power output assumes 95 RON minimum fuel (JLR PT-2018).

The Range Rover T-Series 2.0L Petrol was used across Land Rover's L494, L550, and L405 platforms with transverse (L494/L550) and longitudinal (L405) mounting and no external licensing. This engine received platform-specific adaptations—reinforced mounts in the L405 and revised cooling in the L550 Velar—and from 2020 the MY20 update introduced GPF and updated ECU calibrations, creating minor software and hardware interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on the front timing cover near the oil filter housing (Land Rover TIS TIS-LR-2010). The 7th VIN digit for L494/L550 is 'T'; for L405 it is 'H' but paired with P250 badge. Visual identification: black valve cover with 'P250' badge, integrated exhaust manifold in turbo housing, and absence of 48V battery (non-MHEV). Critical differentiation from MHEV variants: no 48V system, no belt-driven starter-generator. Pre-2020 engines lack GPF; post-2020 units have GPF canister downstream of catalytic converter. Camshaft part number revised after 06/2019 per SIB LTB00312—pre-2019 short blocks are not directly swappable without fuel pump compatibility verification.
The T-Series 2.0L Petrol's primary reliability risk is high-pressure fuel pump cam lobe wear in early builds (pre-06/2019) under sustained high-load or low-oil conditions. Land Rover internal field data (2021) indicates ~8% of pre-2019 engines required camshaft replacement before 60,000 km in performance or towing applications, while UK DVSA data shows no significant emissions-related MOT failures in post-2020 GPF-equipped models. Extended oil intervals or non-spec oil accelerate wear, making strict adherence to oil specifications critical.
Analysis derived from Land Rover technical bulletins (2017–2023) and UK DVSA failure statistics (2018–2023). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
