Engine Displacement: 1,997 cc (P300) / 2,997 cc (D300 & P360)
The Discovery in India is offered with three distinct Ingenium powertrains. The P300 is a 2.0L 4-cylinder petrol engine, while the D300 (Diesel) and P360 (Petrol) both utilize 3.0L 6-cylinder architectures with 48V Mild-Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) technology. The MHEV system captures energy during deceleration and deploys it to assist the engine under acceleration, enhancing the stop-start smoothness essential for Indian traffic conditions.
Max Power: 296 bhp (P300/D300) / 355 bhp (P360)
Power outputs are substantial across the range to handle the vehicle's nearly 2.4-tonne weight. Both the entry petrol (P300) and the popular diesel (D300) produce 296 bhp, whereas the 6-cylinder petrol P360 pushes the output to 355 bhp for a more spirited driving experience on highways.
0-100 km/h Time: 6.8s (P360) / 6.9s (D300) / 7.7s (P300)
Despite its boxy silhouette, the Discovery is remarkably quick. The 6-cylinder variants (P360 and D300) both break the 7-second barrier, ensuring that this large 7-seater never feels underpowered during overtakes.
