Looks like JLR have binned the V6 diesel and replaced it with a much more sensible in line 6 Ingenium lump.
It is to be hoped that the cranks don't snap in this one.

Looks good, as long as it gets regular oil changes.

From an engineering standpoint I would have thought an in-line 6 would be more likely to snap a crank than a V.
Go on then, someone versed in modern LR junk enlighten me ;)
 
Inline or v makes absolutely no difference. The v6 is just a poor design with a weak Web and questionable bearing location.

Certainly more torsional stress on the longer crank, straight 8's were a problem. In modern times it's just poor design that leads to breakages.
