The new engine kicked in from cars built around early Feb 2015. Mine was built 10th Feb and delivered 1st March and has the new engine. The newer engine has 700nm of torque and is very fuel efficient. I have driven the older engine and mine does feel way more smooth, refined and powerful.

What kind of returns do you get from the newer engine?

That is really good, better than I expected. On a long motorway run anything up to 45-47mpg

She currently using my 535d so in terms of long runs, it's slighly better!
I noticed this too. sneaky with no big announcement either, I would be furious if I had bought a car on the crossover with the lower output. I sold my 64 plate car after 2 months as it was gutless and not particularly economical, 29-30 mpg at best, it always seemed to be in the wrong gear too struggling to find any torque. the new one sounds a lot better.
Is it the same motor with a remap or completely different?
presumably JLR can remap the earlier engines if its the former....
