The Range Rover 16 K4F Petrol is a 4,367 cc, V8 twin — turbocharged petrol engine introduced in 2024 for high — performance SV variants. It features direct fuel injection, dual overhead camshafts (DOHC), and a 48V mild — hybrid system integrated via a belt — driven starter — generator. In P615 guise it produces 450 kW (615 PS) and 750 Nm of torque, enabling sub — 4 — second 0–100 km/h acceleration while supporting stop — start functionality and torque — fill during gear shifts.
Fit…
All production years (2024–2025) meet Euro 6d emissions standards universally .
The Range Rover 16 K4F Petrol is a 4,367 cc V8 twin-turbocharged petrol engine engineered for flagship luxury SUVs (2024–2025). It combines a 48V mild-hybrid system with twin-scroll turbocharging to deliver immediate throttle response and high torque across a broad rpm band. Designed to meet Euro 6d standards, it balances extreme performance with stringent emissions compliance.

The Range Rover 16 K4F Petrol was used across Land Rover's L460 platform with longitudinal mounting and no external licensing. This engine received platform-specific adaptations—enhanced intercooling in the Range Rover SV and performance-tuned engine mounts in the Range Rover Sport SV—and from Q2 2025 the MY25 update introduced revised turbo oil feed lines, creating minor service part interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
Field reports and technical service bulletins highlight component wear patterns under high-load operation. Adherence to manufacturer service intervals and approved fluid specifications is critical for long-term reliability.
Analysis derived from manufacturer technical service bulletins and industry workshop records. Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The 16 K4F Petrol is engineered for high performance with robust internals and a non-interference valvetrain. Early MY24 units require attention to turbo oil feed lines per SIB LTB00589. With 98 RON fuel, strict oil monitoring, and updated service parts where applicable, it should offer strong long-term reliability in SV applications.
Top issues include turbo oil feed line seepage in pre-2025 builds, 48V system faults under heat, intake carbon buildup, and early ECU calibration instability. These are documented in Land Rover SIB LTB00589 and are manageable with proactive maintenance and software/hardware updates.
It powers exclusively the 2024–2025 Range Rover SV and Range Rover Sport SV in P615 trim. It is not used in standard Range Rover, Defender, Discovery, or non-SV models. All are Euro 6d compliant and feature 48V mild-hybrid technology.
Aftermarket ECU tuning is common on the 16-K4F platform, but increasing boost or altering engine parameters accelerates component wear, impacts emissions compliance, and may void vehicle warranties. Any modifications should be evaluated carefully by a qualified specialist.
Official WLTP combined is ~13.5 L/100km (21.0 mpg UK). Real-world mixed driving averages 15–18 L/100km (16–19 mpg UK). Highway cruising achieves ~11.2 L/100km (25 mpg UK), while performance driving may exceed 20 L/100km.
No. The 16 K4F Petrol uses a non-interference valvetrain design. If the timing chain were to fail (extremely rare), piston-to-valve contact would not occur, reducing catastrophic failure risk.
Land Rover specifies STJLR.03.5022 0W-20 synthetic oil—low-SAPS, ACEA C5 compliant. This protects the turbos, piston rings, and emissions hardware. Change every 16,000 km or 12 months, and inspect turbo feed lines every 20,000 km in MY24 vehicles.
