    Topix spec vs dealer Rrs my15 or my15.5

    Just put a deposit on a 2015 RRS HSE 3 litre diesel and am a bit concerned as I tow and want a 15.5 with 225kw and 700nm.
    After reading about Topix here ( thanks) I searched and the spec sheet shows engine 215/600 which would make the car a my15?
    The dealer quoted my15.5 which, as I understand it would make the engine a 225kw/ 700 nm?
    Is Topix 100% accurate , and how can I tell if the car is a my15 or a my15.5?
    Thanks in advance

    As I understand it 3.0L is 600Nm regardless of 215kW or 225kW up until 2017MY

    From 2018MY the 225kW version got 700Nm

    This is not quite correct. Mine is MY 15.5 and has the 225kw / 700NM motor. If you look in topix it will show: ENGINE POWER SOURCE - 306/700 . (225KW = 306 HP) MY15.5 is the first MY in Australia for this output, as per the spec guide "Publication Number LR9809 Range Rover Sport 01/15 Consumer" . For MY15 it was 215kw/600NM, as per the spec guide "Publication Number LR9651 Range Rover Sport 10/14 Consumer" ( note MY15 and MY15.5 both show as MY 2015 in Topix, they do not show half years)
    MY17 introduced Ad-Blue, and the slightly larger touch screen.

    Thanks very much Diesel and others. Pulled the pin on this car as it’s a MY15 215kw and not the MY15.5 225 kw as advertised!
    Disappointing - my search continues

    I have to agree, also a tune would soon bump the 215kw to 225kw as they are the same engine with different tunes.

    Its about towing 3500 kg of boat. My disco 4 has 600 nm torque which is what the ‘15 has vs 700 on the my 15.5
