Thirdly mine is a 185bhp D5 which is often said to have worse consumption than the earlier 163bhp D5.

And lastly, it is a geartronic.

ps, I had mine on a weighbridge and it was 1,860kg.


Firstly, I did select UK MPG it was still only 38mpg.
Secondly, your own notes say Tesco, not BP.
Thirdly, 38mpg is bad even for the 185 version of the D5.
Lastly, mines Geartronic too.

PS, The hand book states 1700kg for your car. That's 1000kg less than my XC90.
