That new petrol six does look highly complicated,and the more complicated,the bigger chance of issues.
No where near as simple as,for example,the Y62 engine.
In fact it appears to be more complicated than a late model diesel.

Correct you missed nothing, however looking at the dates, it would be highly unlikely they don't offer that as an engine option due to them ending their contract with Ford for the SV6 around defender dates.
They will 100% have petrol options in the fender.
So what are the options Straight 6, V8 ?
"Throttle response is also expected to improve by 40 percent compared to the existing V-8 engines that are found in current Jaguar and Land Rover models."
"The new engine will go global in 2020, but the United Kingdom is set to get it early in a limited-edition Range Rover Sport HST. That vehicle is not destined for Australia."
It will also be used in the RRS HST which can now be ordered overseas. And also the new evoque.
It would be extremely unlikely the new Defender wouldn't get this engine option.
JLRA confirmed we will see it in JLR vehicles in AU from 2020
Land Rover reveals Ingenium straight-six powerplant
A straight 6 with a turbo and an electric charger is not extremely complicated by design. However i agree its no old school injected v6 or v8 or mechanical diesel.
You have to remember its all about emissions now.
As European emissions regulations become stricter, more car companies are having to rethink their powertrain strategies.
"JLR says the new six-cylinder Ingenium engines are EU6-compliant and can be driven in London's Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) without penalty, which applies from April 2019."
This is why these engines will have a PPF (petrol particulate filter) particulate emissions drop 75%.
"Designed, developed and manufactured in-house at its Wolverhampton engine plant in the UK, JLR reckons its Ingenium engines "are amongst the cleanest in the world and meet the new regulated laboratory and real world tests (WLTP and RDE)"."
Due to petrol being a clean fuel and manufactures being aware of current DPF shortcomings, I can't forsee the petrol PPFs having similar problems that most DPF vehicles seem to have.
Having said all that give me a nice clean injected supercharged V6 or V8 any day, unfortunately moving forward this is not the world we live in.
From where I am sitting a modern ppf petrol or be more reliable than the current DPF diesels, however I'm sure the new ingenium diesels will step up the game so time will tell.
New generation ingenium diesels are also on the way i think evoque is first.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...65d62656a8.jpg
The Ingenium diesel and Petrol has been used since MY16 vehicles and first showed up in the Disco Sport. All four pot engines used in Land Rovers (and jags) now are Ingeniums. The engine is designed to be modular allowing 3 to 6 cylinders. This is similar to BMW and Mercs approach. It's only now that they are getting close to releasing the 6 cylinder version.
Are OZ disco 5 suffering from fuel in oil and early service warning issus?
Also from a bit of searching on Aulro d5 forums, it seems when people got their oil tested for dilution, it was not diluted anywhere near the level stated on car (oil service due warning).
Apparently a software update was issued.
They are also running D5s with black ECB bars and winches are starting to be added.
ARB defs didn't say no to me when i spoke to the about the D5, they just said they have had a very busy start to the year, neither did Kaymar (Kaymar just want a donor car).
Which, going back to the earlier comments about the D5 having been properly tested, suggests that it wasn't.
When I was looking for a D4 two years ago the dealers were cheerfully telling me that everyone was grabbing the last of them, and paying over the odds at that, because they all thought that the D5 would have teething problems.
Hopefully the extended delay on delivering the new Defender will mean that there won't be basic problems, like oil changes being required every couple of thousand kilometres.
