Rover P6 Engines and Transmissions

The Rover P6 engine lineup centres on smooth, willing petrol units of 2.0 and 2.2 litres. Both suit everyday driving: the 2.0 feels lively and eager, while the 2.2 adds extra mid-range punch for relaxed motorway progress. Each is a straightforward, carburettor-fed four-cylinder that values response over outright speed. Transmission choice shapes the driving character. A four-speed manual in the 2.0 MT rewards drivers who enjoy a precise, mechanical shift.
