4.2 v 4.4

Anyone know the differences as I’ve seen a nice 4.4 when I had my heart set on a 4.2 2006 RRS Supercharged 4.2 HST muthuaflecka!

Someone listed the differences I one of your threads I think.

But just get a 4.2. Unlikely to regret it!

For a start a extra 90bhp and 125Nm of torque with the 4.2 S/C.

Fuel consumption of the 4.4V8 is not significantly better than the Supercharged engine’s so not a lot of point in the 4.4 over the 4.2. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Not convinced the mpg gap is as narrow as some suggest 17 vs 19 on paper but quite a few 4.2 SC owners report less than 17 average.

4.2 SC in good form is arguably the more dedicated drivers car though.

Drive a couple of each ideally.....I suspect 4.2 SC will warm the heart more than head..

I seldom want more power than my 4.4 but I regard it as adequate rather than brisk. Occasionally I want more HP. The 4.2Sc can also benefit from modified pulley upgrade.

4.2Sc gets the adaptive/active suspension so better in the bends than 4.4 if all working correctly. It also has better brakes.

Daily driver with slightly better mpg and slightly simpler suspension....get a 4.4.

If it was a weekend car or for more occasional use.... 4.2 SC

Or buy neither and go for a marque which actually has some reliability! Steve.
