The new Defenders all have ingenium engines, built in house by JLR, and they are a straight 6. No relation to the PSA/Ford V6 engine platform as used in the discovery range.

Allegedly Ford has re worked its 3.0 with a stronger crank. Only going by what I have read. Hopefully that will make the 3.0 a reliable long life beast. Cheers

Yep, these engines have been around since 2015, so there should be some high mileage units around already, say 160,000 to 180,000km on average. Not that I have actively searched, but not seen many (won't say any) mainstream news of catastrophic failures of this engine family.
When I took my GFs Discovery Sport into Dovers for a pre purchase inspection they were concerned it was an Ingenium engine. Thankfully hers was the old Freelander 2 engine that was solid.
They have replaced so many Ingenium engines in DS and RR Evoque. They even said the got a replacement engine from LR for one Evoque that didn’t even get out of the car park before failing.
They said it was the worst engine LR ever made. I am sure they’ve learnt from the early years.
This was the 4 cylinder specifically.

Build slot confirmed just after Christmas, ETA Barbagellos mid March 2023. That's 9 months earlier than expected. Getting a bit excited...full digital dash confirmed ( this was one of the unknowns when I ordered) the demo had a hybrid digital / analogue display.
