I think in all honesty maybe even LR don't know. They will have a selection of engines and options and will make the ultimate decisions on economic and market forces at the time.

The 3.0 is to replace the 2.7 in Europe as the 3.0 is EU5 compliant and the 2.7 is not. Obviously EU compliant is not an Austrailian requirement I have heard the 2.7 will continue in Oz for a while - maybe a low cost option (or more likely the 3.0 will be a high cost option )

The 3.6 TDV8 will be phased out as the 3.0 makes it redundant. A new TDV8 (around 4.4/4.6) will be built, but this is a Ford engine so may not reach LR.

To the best of my knowledge, all 3.0 TDV6 are twin turbo. There are two power specs, but I believe these are differences in engine mapping.

I confirm the statement that 2.7 will continue to exist in parallel to 3.0
