RE: Fuel Economy - Urban/Extra Urban

Just seen the JD Power results for 2010 - not great reading for LR. The good news for us is that the Freelander did well for Reliability & interior quality ...... its big letdown was fuel economy. As these cars were 2 years old they had the previous version of the 2.2 engine so were getting 224g of CO2 plus a COMBINED economy figure of 35mpg so that’s probably the Max anybody was getting out of their car. We know a FFRR V8 Diesel can do 33mpg, so yes, if I had a Freelander I would be more than a bit miffed. Let’s hope the updates to the Evoque engine and bodywork are true advances (and not just playing the system to get good "Official" figures) and that we get to see a 10mpg improvement. Here’s hoping.

Dealer network needs to lift its game.

One of the engineers at the NEC Evoque event said the 2.2 Diesel SD4 (190) gets 35/36 urban and 49/50 extra urban - this is based on when he was testing the vehicle and their reports. He also said the adaptive dynamics with advanced magne ride is simply amazing, completely redefining the driving experience and he said he thought that was one of the best features to the vehicle.

Down Under it isn't available on the Pure. It's a $1,950 option on the Prestige and Dynamic.

RE: Fuel Economy - Urban/Extra Urban

BMW's nothing like a Rangie though! Just found a decent site to convert those Ozy fuel figures so here goes:

Evoque Coupe SD4/190bhp Diesel
Manual Auto
Urban 42 36
Extra Urban 54 49
Combined 49 44

Manual also is 149g CO2 so only £130 to tax and almost £2k cheaper but 0-60 is 9.5 vs. 8.0....

Anyone got thoughts on manual vs.auto? Dealer only gives £300 extra RV for manual over 3 yrs but like i said it costs almost £2k more upfront plus additional fuel @ almost £1.50 per Litre!

Anyone know if there is a superchip/Bluefin planned for the Evoque?

I run an SD4 freelander at the moment if I drive it carefully 41mpg is achievable so don't worry to much about fuel figures. After all it's how you drive not what you drive.
