Iinteresting, I just looked it up and find that interesting. One of the reasons I ordered my MY20 with the Td6 was that I feared a diesel would not be available in MY21 because of California and their CARB. The 2021 builder for the Discovery and Defender aren't yet available in the US but it is for Canada, and no diesel available at all there. You can apparently get the old Td6 in a 2021 RRS or RR, which I believe is telling since I don't believe they would offer both types of diesel. I thought the outgoing Td6 was out of production or at least out of contract with Ford, I wonder if that is just remaining inventory and we'll see what if any diesels are offered in MY22. Mexico has no diesels, either. Still, one could at least drive from Panama and it would be tempting to go down and drive one back, but I'm not sure if you could even register it in the USA. I love my Td6 diesel but wish it were the Sd6. I just put a tuner box on it and it drives so much better and like it should have from the beginning, but I would love to get the new D300 or D350.
I was watching this video on youtube that I thought was pretty informative. Its labeled "Why diesel cars are disappearing."
I have an ML350 diesel and I love it. Its not as peppy as the gas counterpart but the fuel economy is incredible. If I could get a defender with a diesel engine I would be a lot happier.

there was a rumor of a D350 headed to the '21 Discovery earlier in the year. I'm wondering if COVID-19 has delayed certification.
there is video of a (new) Defender with twin tail pipes à la UK diesels. it also says prototype on the vehicle so that could be something.
odd that it has MN plates though (nothing against the frozen north, I grew up there. )
