Range Rover Sport L494 Parts

Platform Overview

Range Rover Sport L494: platform and variants

The Range Rover Sport L494 is the second generation of the Sport nameplate, replacing the L320 in 2013 and running through to the arrival of the L461 in 2022. It was the first Range Rover Sport to use the JLR D7u aluminium-intensive platform, a structure shared with the full-size Range Rover L405. The shift to aluminium reduced unladen weight significantly compared to the T5-based L320 and reshaped the parts and service profile of the vehicle.

This collection covers parts for all L494 variants produced between 2013 and 2022, including the standard Sport, HSE, HSE Dynamic, Autobiography Dynamic, and the SVR performance variant. It includes diesel and petrol engine families across the full production run.

Engine variants covered by this collection:

2.0 Ingenium SD4 diesel (introduced mid-cycle, from approximately 2017)
3.0 TDV6 diesel (258 hp, early production)
3.0 SDV6 diesel (306 hp and 340 hp hybrid variant)
4.4 SDV8 diesel (early production, to approximately 2018)
3.0 AJ-V6 supercharged petrol
3.0 Ingenium I6 MHEV petrol (later production)
2.0 Ingenium PHEV petrol (P400e)
5.0 AJ-V8 supercharged petrol (including SVR variants)

All L494 variants use the ZF 8HP 8-speed automatic transmission as standard. Gearbox service and mechatronic parts may be found in the engine and drivetrain categories. The ZF 8HP is a longitudinally mounted 8-speed unit used across a wide range of JLR and non-JLR applications. Full specification data is available via the ZF 8HP transmission reference.

This collection does not cover the Range Rover Sport L320 (2005 to 2013) or the Range Rover Sport L461 (2022 onward). Parts for those generations are held in separate collections.

Parts Coverage

Fitment

Checking fitment for your L494

The L494 ran for nine years and received several mid-cycle updates. Engine availability changed across the production run, and some parts are engine-specific, variant-specific, or year-band specific. Confirming the correct part before ordering avoids returns and delays.

The most reliable way to confirm fitment is to use your 17-digit VIN. Your VIN encodes your exact engine code, model year, and specification, and allows us to match parts to your specific build. Your VIN is located on the dashboard (visible through the windscreen), inside the driver-side door frame, or in your vehicle registration documents.

If you are ordering for a workshop with multiple L494 vehicles in service, please note the engine suffix code from the vehicle identification plate, as this is the most accurate reference for engine-specific parts such as timing chain kits and turbocharger assemblies.

Quality Grades

OEM, Genuine, and Aftermarket parts explained

Parts in this collection are marked with one of three quality designations.

Genuine parts are sourced directly from the JLR supply chain and carry the official Land Rover part number. They are the same components fitted at the factory or supplied through authorised dealerships.

OEM parts are produced by the original equipment manufacturer that supplied the part to JLR during vehicle production. These are identical in specification to Genuine parts but are sold outside the dealer network without the Land Rover branding. For many applications, OEM is the correct choice for independent workshops and informed owners.

Aftermarket parts are produced by specialist suppliers to equivalent or improved specifications. Quality varies by manufacturer and application. Budget Parts selects aftermarket lines on the basis of specification fit and durability. Where fitment or quality has not been validated for a specific L494 application, this will be noted on the product listing.

3.0 TDV6 timing chain vs timing belt

The 3.0 TDV6 and SDV6 engines fitted to many L494 diesels use a timing chain, not a belt. This guide explains the system, the service implications, and why partial replacements carry risk. Essential reading before ordering a timing chain kit for an L494 diesel.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which engine variants does this collection cover?

This collection covers all engine variants fitted to the Range Rover Sport L494 between 2013 and 2022. Diesel variants include the 3.0 TDV6 (258 hp), the 3.0 SDV6 (306 hp and 340 hp hybrid), the 4.4 SDV8, and the 2.0 Ingenium SD4 (introduced from approximately 2017). Petrol variants include the 3.0 AJ-V6 supercharged, the 3.0 Ingenium I6 MHEV, the 2.0 Ingenium PHEV (P400e), and the 5.0 AJ-V8 supercharged including SVR-specification builds.

Does this collection include parts for the SVR?

Yes. The SVR is a high-performance variant of the L494, available from 2015 with the 5.0 litre supercharged AJ-V8. Parts that are common across the L494 range (suspension components, braking hardware, electrical items) are compatible with the SVR unless the product listing states otherwise. Engine-specific and drivetrain-specific parts for the SVR 5.0 V8 are listed separately where fitment differs from the diesel or standard petrol variants.

How do I confirm the correct part for my L494?

Use your 17-digit VIN to confirm fitment before ordering. Your VIN encodes your exact engine code, model year, and specification. It is located on the dashboard (visible through the windscreen), on the driver-side door frame, or in your registration documents. For engine-specific parts such as timing chain kits, also note the engine suffix code from your vehicle identification plate. If you are unsure, contact the Budget Parts team with your VIN and we can confirm the correct part.

What is the difference between Genuine, OEM, and Aftermarket parts?

Genuine parts carry the official Land Rover part number and are sourced through the JLR supply chain. OEM parts are produced by the original equipment manufacturer that supplied the same component to JLR during production. They are identical in specification to Genuine parts but sold outside the dealer network. Aftermarket parts are produced by specialist suppliers to equivalent specifications. All three tiers are represented in this collection. The product listing for each item indicates the quality tier and any fitment notes.

Do L494 parts fit the full-size Range Rover L405?

Some parts are shared between the L494 and the L405 because both vehicles use the JLR D7u aluminium platform and share several drivetrain components. However, many body, interior, and suspension parts differ between the two models despite the shared platform. Always verify fitment by model and VIN before ordering. Do not assume L405 parts will fit an L494 or vice versa unless the product listing confirms dual fitment.

Is the L494 timing chain the same across all diesel variants?

No. The timing chain assembly differs between engine families fitted to the L494. The 3.0 TDV6 and SDV6 use a chain-driven timing system with a specific kit including chain, guides, tensioner, and associated bolts. The 2.0 Ingenium SD4 diesel uses a different timing arrangement. Always identify your exact engine variant before ordering a timing chain kit. If you are unsure which engine is fitted, your VIN or engine suffix code will confirm this.

Does Budget Parts ship L494 parts across the EU?

Yes. Budget Parts is based in the Netherlands and ships to customers across Europe including Germany, Belgium, France, Sweden, and throughout the EU. Parts listed as in stock are held at our Dutch warehouse locations. Delivery times and shipping costs are shown at checkout based on destination.
