Yes I had the same thing with one dealer using the SE name a bit freely when describing a 3.0 155kw TDV6, which as far as I can see has never been in an SE model.
Fairly important detail! :-)

The TDV6, SDV6 SE & SDV6 HSE all have 3.0lt engines, the TDV6 is downrated to 155kw compared to 183kw for the SE & HSE. The TDV6 also has less options on it, is a 5 seater as standard with 7 as an option (rare to find one with 5 though) different tyres & rims etc.
Check the Landrover website for a few more differences. I bought the TDV6 as it was available with the extras on it I wanted at a pretty reasonable price.
basic, SE and HSE are a trim levels +/- optional extras. The basic doesn't have the LED signature headlamps while the SE and HSE do.
The TDV6 is the 155Kw 3.0 litre engine (not down rated, just the earlier rating - also there was a lower power 2.7 TDV6 in earlier models)
The SDV6 is the 183Kw 3.0 litre engine (the later uprated engine).

If you look I believe that you will see that the 155Kw 3.0 TDV6 was in the SE and HSE in the MY11 and earlier models, as well as in the RRS around the same time.
When they introduced the 3.0 SDV6 in MY12 they still had the 2.7 TDV6, when they ran out of 2.7 TDV6 it was replaced with the 3.0 TDV6 in the 155Kw spec as the lower power option.
Hi Diana, All 3.0 ltr engines prior to the discontinuation of the 2.7 ltr were 180kw and were badged as "3.0 TDV6". The 155kw 3.0 ltr engine is new in Australia to replace the 2.7 ltr TDV6.
D4/RRS 2010 - 2012
2.7 ltr (140kw/440nm) = "TDV6" - S specification (not RRS)
3.0 ltr (180kw/600nm) = "3.0 TDV6" SE & HSE specification
D4 MY13 onwards
3.0 ltr (155kw/520nm) = "TDV6" S specification
3.0 ltr (183kw/600nm) = "SDV6" SE & HSE specification
RRS MY13 onwards
3.0 ltr (190kw/600nm) = "TDV6"
3.0 ltr (215kw/600nm) = "SDV6"
Hi SBD4
I did not know this. My understaning of the D4 info you gave matches my understanding but I assumed that the Rangie Sport engines were the same tune as the D4 engines from 2013/14.
A mate of mine is looking at a new Rangie Sport Ive been telling him he needs to stretch out for the SE because he would not want the 155kw enging but the he would want the upgraded engine, but if youre telling me the cheapo Sport (:angel:) has 190kw worth of grunt then that would do him, especially if it is over 300 kg light.
Sorry for thread hijack.
My D4 is a MY11 SDV6 SE which I took delivery of in Aug 2011.
This is the Topix info for my car.
Hey James, yep it's on the LR web site:
