Can any one advise re realistic MPG of the D4 and D5.

is there a great difference as the D5 had a lot more poke.


Additionally are there any reliability issues and is there advantages of the AWD against a FWD


Can any one comment on the last of the old models with the new 2.0D engine with the 8 speed auto box re the same issues .e MPG reliability issues.


I love the car and find the seats so comfy as I have real back issues and many car seats just cause me problems

Thanks for your advice in advance

If memory serves, the D4 and D5 AWD have the same official MPG figures. I have a D4 AWD Geartronic with Polestar (so same power and torque as D5) and am getting between 34 and 35 MPG on mostly open A/B road driving averaging around 40-50 miles a day.

2.0 engine has had DPF issues but I believe that was just the early ones and a late model should be fine. I'm sure there are others on here who can give you a more detailed comments
