Ford sold the previous model Explorer in Europe with only a four-litre petrol engine and automatic transmission.


In contrast, rival DaimlerChrysler offers its current Cherokee and Grand Cherokee with a diesel engine and manual gearbox option.


The new Liberty, to be called the Cherokee in Europe, will also get the diesel engine/manual option.
