Power output typically around 107-111 hp and torque around 195-210 lb-ft. Petrol Engine V8 3.9: 3.9L Rover V8 (OHV, multi-point fuel injection - MPI). Power output typically around 182 hp and torque around 235 lb-ft. Petrol Engine V8 4.0: 4.0L Rover V8 (OHV, multi-point fuel injection - MPI). Power output typically around 188 hp and torque around 240 lb-ft. Petrol Engine Mpi: 4.0L V8 MPI and 4.6L V8 MPI (used in later models and Range Rover Sport variants, but 4.0L is relevant here). Power output for 4.0L MPI approx. 188 hp. Performance Acceleration 0 60 Mph: Varies significantly by engine and transmission, typically 10-14 seconds. Top Speed: Varies, typically 95-110 mph (governed or limited by gearing). Fuel System Diesel Injection: Direct Injection (Tdi), Turbocharged. Petrol Injection: Multi-Point Fuel Injection (MPI) for V8 variants, Single-Point Fuel Injection (SPI) for earlier 3.9 V8 MPI. MFI and SFI indicate variations in fuel system management. 🔧 Transmission Standard Manual Transmission: 5-speed manual gearbox (e.g., R380 for later models, LT77 for earlier). Optional Automatic Transmission: 4-speed automatic gearbox (e.g., ZF 4HP22 for V8, often also available on diesel). Features Transfer Case: Permanent four-wheel drive with a center differential lock and a 2-speed transfer gearbox (high and low range) controlled by a lever. Gear Ratios: Refer to manual for specific gear ratios for manual and automatic transmissions, and transfer box ratios. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Length: Approx. 4640 mm (182.7 in) for 5-door models. Width: Approx. 1790 mm (70.5 in). Height: Approx. 1970 mm (77.6 in) with roof rails. Wheelbase: Approx. 2540 mm (100 in). Interior Seating Capacity: 5 or 7 seats (optional third row). Cargo Cargo Volume: Generous, expandable with folding rear seats. Exact figures vary by configuration. Weights Curb Weight: Varies by engine and specification, typically 1900-2200 kg (4189-4850 lbs). Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: Refer to VIN plate, typically around 2800-3000 kg. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Test Ratings: Not extensively rated by modern standards like Euro NCAP or NHTSA for this era.
