Is not the V6 petrol engine mentioned in this official press report a (towards the end) the new INGENIUM engine?
I have doubts that new diesel V6 will be developed due to omission regulations

2.3.3 Six-cylinder Si6 petrol
Land Rover’s advanced supercharged 3.0-litre V6 engine is an impressive performer. The 340PS Si6 engine develops 450Nm of torque and powers New Discovery from 0-100km/h in 7.1 seconds (0-60mph in 6.9 seconds).
The lightweight construction of New Discovery plays a decisive role in delivering lower emissions and improved fuel efficiency across the model range. As a result CO2 emissions are down six per cent, to 254g/km, with fuel economy increasing to 26mpg (10.9l/100km) compared to its predecessor. Peter

It has reminded me though, that the SDV6 in the RRS isn't great. The X5 V6 makes a lovely sound when revved. The SDV6 makes a sound that says I'll do this, but I don't really want to. Generally it is a miserable sounding engine, although forum posts I have read suggest the revised engines recently are better. Luckily it is quite quiet when not pressed so it is ok overall.
...maybe you could just make some of your own sounds while driving
