Range Rover Sport L494 Engines for Sale | Engine Finders

The Range Rover Sport L494 (2013-2022) replaced the L320 on a new aluminium-intensive D7u-derived platform, cutting weight significantly while sharpening the Sport's dynamic character relative to its more comfort-focused Range Rover sibling. Across nearly a decade of production, the L494 covered one of the widest engine spreads in the whole Range Rover family - from the launch-era TDV6/SDV6 diesel and 5.0 V8/SVR petrol through to later Ingenium four-cylinder units and the P400e plug-in hybrid. Engine Finders sources verified reconditioned and rebuilt units across the full L494 engine spread, matched to your exact confirmed engine code rather than a generic "Range Rover Sport engine" assumption that doesn't reflect which of these six families your specific vehicle carries.

Range Rover Sport L494 Replacement Engines

Here's how the L494's engine range breaks down across its production run:

  • TDV6 / SDV6 (2013-2022) - 3.0L V6 diesel, 306DT family. The most common engine across the range, shared with the L405 Range Rover of the same era.
  • 4.4 SDV8 (2013-2022) - 4.4L V8 diesel, 448DT family. A lower-volume engine with more limited parts availability than the V6.
  • 2.0 Si4 / SD4 (later production) - 2.0L 4-cylinder Ingenium petrol/diesel, 204DTA/PT204 family. Introduced partway through L494 production as a more efficient alternative to the V6.
  • P400e (late production) - 2.0L Ingenium turbo petrol plug-in hybrid. Confirm hybrid scope at quote stage given the added complexity beyond the combustion engine.
  • P400 (late production) - 3.0L mild-hybrid petrol, sharing its family with the later L460 Range Rover's early Ingenium adoption.
  • 5.0 V8 / SVR (2013-2022) - 5.0L V8 petrol, AJ133 family. The performance flagship, with SVR representing a distinct higher-output tune of the same architecture.

Given the L494 spans nearly a decade with genuinely different engine architecture across that span, two L494s built a few years apart can require completely different replacement engines - always confirm your exact code before ordering.

L494 Models & Engine Codes

Trim level and build year both shape which engine your Range Rover Sport L494 carries:

  • Early production centred on TDV6 diesel and the 5.0 V8 petrol, the two mainstay launch engines through most of the L494's life.
  • SDV8 and SVR served buyers prioritising towing capacity or outright performance respectively, sitting at opposite ends of the range.
  • Later in production, Si4/SD4 Ingenium four-cylinder units arrived as more efficient alternatives to the V6, alongside P400 mild-hybrid petrol.
  • P400e plug-in hybrid targeted ULEZ-conscious and efficiency-focused buyers in the L494's final production years, previewing architecture the L460 generation would later adopt more fully.

Given this spread, checking your exact engine code against your VIN remains the only reliable way to confirm what your specific L494 needs - badge names alone don't tell the full story on a model with this much production-run variation.

Buy Used and Second-Hand Range Rover Sport L494 Engines

We offer used, reconditioned, rebuilt and remanufactured Range Rover Sport L494 units across the entire engine range - TDV6/SDV6, SDV8, Si4/SD4, P400e, P400 and 5.0 V8/SVR alike:

  • Used - lowest cost, suited to buyers with verified low mileage and clear provenance. More uncertainty on lower-volume engines like the SDV8 given limited parts availability.
  • Reconditioned - inspected, with documented 306DT wear patterns addressed as standard on TDV6/SDV6 units.
  • Rebuilt - stripped and rebuilt to factory spec, suited to higher-mileage use across any of the six engine families.
  • Remanufactured - full OEM-standard rebuild, the closest option to factory-fresh condition.

Every option is bench-tested before dispatch and covered by our standard 12-month warranty, regardless of which L494 engine you need.

L494 Engines in Stock

TDV6/SDV6 and the 5.0 V8 are the most commonly requested and tend to be quickest to source, while SDV8 and late-production Ingenium units may need a longer lead time given their lower relative volumes. Every reconditioned L494 engine we supply includes:

  • 306DT diesel V6 units inspected per specialist-documented wear patterns
  • Timing chain tensioner checks on late-production Ingenium units
  • Hybrid-scope verification on P400e builds
  • New gaskets, seals and oil pump on every single rebuild

Every unit is bench-tested before it leaves our network, confirming correct idle, oil pressure and torque delivery for your specific L494 engine.

Warranty for Replacement Range Rover Sport L494 Engines

All reconditioned and rebuilt L494 engines come with the same standard of cover regardless of which of the six engine families your build requires:

  • 12-month, unlimited-mileage warranty
  • UK-wide supply and fit network
  • Bench-test verification before dispatch

Engine Finders is a price comparison marketplace - warranty terms are set by our vetted UK suppliers and confirmed at quote stage. We'd always recommend reading these in full before proceeding.

⚙️ Range Rover Sport L494 Engine Works: How Experts Rebuild Engines

When your engine fails, Range Rover Sport L494 engine works can restore performance at a fraction of the cost of a brand-new engine. Every L494 rebuild starts by confirming your exact engine code and build year. From full diagnostics to rebuild, here's how experts ensure your Range Rover Sport L494 engine works delivers optimal results, every time.

1. Diagnostics: Every L494 rebuild begins with full diagnostics - compression testing, oil pressure checks and a complete scan - to confirm your exact engine code and failure cause before any work begins, essential given the six-family engine spread on this generation.

2. Strip-Down: Once confirmed, the engine undergoes complete disassembly, with every component inspected against the correct tolerances for that specific family - 306DT diesel, 448DT V8, Ingenium four-cylinder, or AJ133 petrol V8.

3. Wear-Point Rebuild: Documented family-level wear points are addressed as standard, plus hybrid-scope checks on P400e where applicable.

4. Reassembly: The engine is reassembled to original equipment torque specification throughout, with new gaskets, seals and oil pump fitted as standard on every L494 rebuild.

5. Bench Testing: Before any engine leaves our network, it undergoes hot and cold cycle bench testing to confirm stable idle and correct torque delivery.

6. Warranty & Dispatch: A 12-month, unlimited-mileage warranty is applied before UK-wide dispatch, giving confirmed cover regardless of which of the six L494 engine families you needed.

Frequently Asked Questions - Range Rover Sport L494 Engines
Which Range Rover Sport L494 engine is most reliable?

No single engine is confirmed as universally most reliable across public sources for the L494 - condition and service history matter as much as engine choice across the TDV6 to SVR range. The later Ingenium four-cylinder units (Si4/SD4) are generally regarded as more modern in design than the earlier TDV6/SDV6 diesel V6, though every engine family has its own documented wear points worth checking during any pre-purchase inspection, whichever engine your L494 runs.

How much does a Range Rover Sport L494 engine replacement cost?

Reconditioned engine pricing on the L494 breaks down by family: from £3,300 for later Si4/SD4 Ingenium four-cylinder units and P400e (verify hybrid scope at quote stage), from £5,200 for P400 mild-hybrid petrol, from £5,500 for the 5.0 V8 or SVR, from £6,500 for the common TDV6/SDV6 diesel, and from £8,000 for the lower-volume 4.4 SDV8. All come with our standard 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty regardless of which of the six engine families your specific L494 requires.

What are common L494 TDV6/SDV6 problems?

TDV6 and SDV6 units are part of the 306DT engine family shared with the L405 Range Rover of a similar era, and documented wear patterns exist in specialist and owner sources covering this widely-used diesel V6. Given how long these engines have now been in service in many cases, higher-mileage examples benefit from careful pre-purchase inspection focused specifically on documented 306DT wear points, and our reconditioned TDV6/SDV6 units address these as standard, priced from £6,500.

What are common L494 SDV8 problems?

The 4.4 SDV8 (448DT family) is a lower-volume engine on the L494 than the TDV6/SDV6 diesel V6, meaning parts availability and specialist familiarity can be more limited. Specialist inspection is recommended given this lower volume, both when buying a used SDV8-equipped L494 and when sourcing a replacement engine, since fewer suppliers carry ready stock. Reconditioned SDV8 units from us start from £8,000, reflecting this more specialist sourcing requirement.

Is the L494 P400e reliable?

The P400e uses the Ingenium 2.0L PT204 petrol engine paired with a plug-in hybrid system, so overall reliability depends on more than the combustion engine alone. Battery condition and hybrid-system health matter just as much, and these components age differently to a conventional engine. Factor this into any reliability assessment on a late-production L494 P400e, and confirm hybrid scope at quote stage rather than assuming a standard engine-only replacement covers everything.

Is the SVR different from the standard 5.0 V8 on the L494?

Yes - SVR is a distinct, higher-performance tune of the AJ133 5.0L V8 family fitted to the L494, not a separate engine architecture but a genuinely different calibration and output level. Confirm your exact badge before ordering a replacement, since standard 5.0 V8 and SVR-spec units, while sharing core architecture, are tuned differently enough that they shouldn't be assumed interchangeable without specialist confirmation.

How much is a reconditioned L494 engine?

Reconditioned Range Rover Sport L494 engine cost ranges from around £3,300 for later Ingenium four-cylinder units up to £8,000 for the 4.4 SDV8, with most engines in the £5,200-£6,500 range depending on family. Get a specific quote matched to your confirmed engine code for the most accurate figure, since these six engine families vary considerably in both cost and current parts availability across the L494's decade of production.

Can an L494 engine be rebuilt?

Yes - reconditioned, rebuilt and remanufactured options are available across the whole L494 range: TDV6/SDV6/SDV8 diesel, Si4/SD4 Ingenium, P400e hybrid, and P400/5.0 V8/SVR petrol. Which option suits you depends on budget, how long you're keeping the vehicle, and typical annual mileage - every rebuild comes with our standard 12-month warranty regardless of which of the six engine families your specific L494 requires.

What engine code is in my L494?

Confirmed via your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which our team can help check against your registration details. This matters particularly on the L494 given how significantly the engine range evolved across its decade-long production run - from the original TDV6/SDV6/SDV8 diesel and 5.0 V8/SVR petrol through to later Si4/SD4 Ingenium units and the P400e plug-in hybrid. Engine-code formatting can vary between parts catalogues, so always cross-check against your own vehicle documentation.

Do L494 and L461 share engines?

No - the L461 (2022-present) replaced the L494 (2013-2022) with a completely different platform and engine range, moving to the AJ300/AJ300D architecture shared with the L460 Range Rover instead. The two Sport generations do not share engine families, so confirming which one you have via your VIN is essential before ordering any replacement engine, regardless of how similar the badges might look at a glance.
