Diesel (Land Rover Range Rover Sport) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Dodge Journey) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences."
Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Land Rover Range Rover Sport engine could be longer.
Engine production duration:
16 years
19 years
Engine spread:
Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Land Rover Range Rover, Land Rover Discovery
Installed on at least 6 other car models, including Jeep Patriot, Dodge Caliber, Dodge Avenger, Chrysler Sebring, Jeep Compass
In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Dodge Journey might be a better choice in this respect.
Hydraulic tappets:
yes
no
The Land Rover Range Rover Sport engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure.
