Does any one have figures for Pure 2.2 150 hp manual diesel models, what would the Mpg figures for this basic version in 4wd

I doubt the TD4 will be much different to the SD4 when driven sedately as the real difference is engine mapping, hence the quoted top 50mpg is the same for both. The difference in the SD4 is put your boot down and guzzle that fuel in trade for acceleration, whereas the TD4 is more likely to be tuned for economy rather than power so you wont accel so fast but you'll use less fuel doing it!

200 miles in 29.9 mpg...early days but higher than my last 4x4

So in my courtesy 3 year old freelander 2 TD4 40000 miles (well I think TD4 as felt like it, never looked at the back) driving my normal style was only getting 37mpg cruising on 60mph roads and when pushing on a bit this evening dropped it to 33mpg. Now I assume this is an older version of the engine? and seems this is worse than my Evoque.

Its time for me to fill up for the first time. The tank isn't completely dry, but I haven't even got 350 miles out of the first tank of fuel!

My Si4 looks like getting between 300 - 350 miles on its first full tank of fuel. The car has done 224 miles now and the range is showing 135 to go.
The first 177 was fast motorway driving and the rest local B road stop/start commute which is seeing the range reduce more rapidly.
My D4 managed around 400 miles on a much larger tank when driven sedately so if I can match that economy with a more enjoyable drive in the Si4 I'll be happy.

Hi everybody
First post on here, hoping to be in an Evoque in April. I'm currently running a Kuga and on the owners club forum. MPG is one of the hottest subjects on there as well.
This colder weather is having a real effect on my Kuga's consumption, as it will on all cars (god help people with electric/hybrid cars, batteries and cold don't mix). During the summer I was averaging around 40 MPG with a fairly tight engine. Over the last month or so I'm down to around 34/35. Lower temperatures mean thicker oil and longer warm up times. This, together with the fuel suppliers adding stuff to the fuel, all adversely affects consumption.
If you've got bigger option wheels/tyres fitted, the increase in rolling resistance will also knock your figures. It all adds up!
It'll be interesting to see what people are saying come the warmer weather

Mix of country roads (70%) at 60 mph and town (30%) at 30 mph driving (also find myself using the commandshift to be in the highest gear possible).

Don't forget that the Si4 Petrol has a bigger fuel tank, so be careful comparing how many miles you get to a full tank!
