Engine & Performance

  • Engine Options: Primarily the 2.1L, 2.5L, and 3.0L AJ-V6 petrol engines, plus 2.0L and 2.2L four-cylinder diesels (mostly in Europe).
  • Horsepower: Ranged from 157hp (2.1L) to 231hp (3.0L).
  • Transmission: Choice of a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed J-Gate automatic.
  • Top Speed: The 3.0L V6 could reach roughly 146mph.

Chassis & Drivetrain

  • Drivetrain: Unique for the era, most V6 models featured Standard All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with a 40/60 torque split, though the smaller 2.1L and diesels were Front-Wheel Drive (FWD).
  • Platform: Based on a heavily modified Ford CD132 platform (shared with the Ford Mondeo), which helped with parts availability and reliability.
  • Brakes: Four-wheel disc brakes with standard ABS.
