I just noticed the P300 is not an option on the Australian configurator. So that is one non-starter confirmed.
Yes we may be underestimating them,the torque and power curves would be good to see,and compare them to the TDV6.
But the 2.7 D3/4 was easily tuned,as mine is,but I doubt that can be done to the smaller engines,although we will have to wait and see.They may have been ‘tuned ‘ as far as they can go by the manufacturer.
Maybe someone with a D5 that runs the 240 diesel will tune in.

The D240 engine in the Range Rover Velar has 500Nm - same as the SD4 in the 2019 Discovery Sport. Both have the same power.
So it appears the Defender D240 has been de-tuned at the bottom end of the rev range to bring the torque back down to 430Nm and the D200 further de-tuned at the top end to reduce the max power.
Why do you think Diesels are more complex than Petrols? I don't think they have anything thats too different between them these days.
D200 looks reundant to me. Cant see a reason to have it in the line up apart from having a dutuned option to charge for the D240.
The P400 would be my choice of that lot. With increased size comes low down power/torque. That lugability that big engines have when the're down low in the revs and off boost. I guess with that engine a long range fuel tank would be coming with it also.
Actually, the 6cyl diesel would be my choice. Hopefully if it turns up it will be a good motor.

I’ve seen no comments about storage space in the new Defenders, but I believe the P400 loses the rear storage compartment to batteries and their controller.
Lack of a decent storage space is one of my main gripes about my 7 seat D5, but if I go travelling I’ll probably remove the 3rd row seats.
