Engine Options:
Likely includes 4.4L V8 (Jaguar AJ-V8) and 4.0L V6 (Ford Cologne) gasoline engines, and possibly a 2.7L V6 TDV6 diesel engine. Specifics depend on market and trim.
Horsepower Range:
Varies by engine. V8 typically 295-305 hp, V6 gasoline ~215 hp, TDV6 ~190 hp.
Torque Range:
Varies by engine. V8 typically 300-315 lb-ft, V6 gasoline ~260 lb-ft, TDV6 ~320 lb-ft.
Fuel Delivery:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
Diesel Features:
If TDV6 is covered, includes Common Rail Diesel Injection (CRDI) technology.
Transmission Type Standard:
Likely a 6-speed automatic transmission (e.g., ZF 6HP26) as standard on most models, especially V8 and diesel. Manual transmission may have been available in some markets, but less common.
Transmission Type Optional:
Manual transmission might be an option on lower trims or specific markets, but automatic was predominant.
Drivetrain Type:
Permanent four-wheel drive (4WD) with electronic traction control and Terrain Response system.
Transfer Case:
Two-speed electronic transfer gearbox with locking center differential.
Wheelbase:
Approx. 113.6 inches (2885 mm)
Length:
Approx. 190.9 inches (4850 mm)
Width:
Approx. 74.4 inches (1890 mm)

Front and rear parking sensors, often integrated with the reversing camera on higher trims.
Cruise Control:
Standard cruise control.
Auxiliary Input:
Standard 3.5mm auxiliary audio input jack was common.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months, whichever comes first (refer to manual for specific engine types).
Transmission Fluid Change:
Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and filter change typically recommended around 60,000 miles (100,000 km) or as per severe service schedule.
Engine Coolant Interval:
Long-life coolant, first change around 100,000 miles (160,000 km), then every 50,000 miles (80,000 km).
Engine Oil Type:
Specific API SN/SM/SL or ACEA A3/B4 or A5/B5 rated oil, viscosity depends on engine and climate (e.g., 5W-30, 0W-40). Refer to manual for exact specs.
Automatic Transmission Fluid:
Specific ATF (e.g., TF-0871 for ZF 6HP26) is crucial. Use of incorrect fluid can cause severe transmission damage.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 brake fluid
