XC60 D4 AWD Polestar Fuel Consumption
Evening all,
Just wondered if there's anyone else who has a D4 AWD Polestar and if so what sort of fuel consumption you're getting, I seem to be really low 30s which is surprising, I was expecting high 30s. Ed. |

Hi Eddy,
I average around 36 mpg, and that's with fairly mixed driving (65% town/35% motorway or long distance). When I drive around the country, I can get low 40s average from a tank easily if I've done, say, 90% long distance. If I do a month of, say, 90% town driving, I'll be in the 31/32 mpg region. If you're only getting low 30s and you're doing quite a few long journeys, I'd suggest there's something wrong.......or your right foot is too heavy (the shape of the XC60 works against you once you get above 65mph, in my experience) J

Thanks James, I'll give it a bit longer and see if it picks up. Ive got adaptive cruise on mine and compared to the Passat I had previously the Volvo system doesn't work in an economical way at all, it seems to constantly floor it to get up to speed where as the VW system you could change the rate of acceleration depending if you were in Eco or Sport mode.
Got a longish drive tomorrow so will see how that goes. |

I was averaging mid 30s in my Polestar D4 AWD auto with a mix of shortish A/B road driving. I'm now doing 500+ A road miles a week (2 200 mile runs plus shorter daily usage) and the average is over 40. I use cruise a fair bit but leave it in S for the twisties.

you guys are treating your D4 AWDs very gently, over the last 94500 miles in my D5 AWD Polestar, I average 31/32 in normal driving, might creep up to 33/34 on a long motorway run and 22/23 towing a caravan.

The AWD D4 is the 2.4L 5 cyl engine. Yours is way more efficient than ours, plus the AWD adds weight compared to the FWD.

I have a 2016 D4 AWD geartronic with polestar upgrade
I get an average of 30mpg (mostly short journeys) and about 27mpg when towing a 1500kg caravan I have had 50mpg on a long motorway journey staying below 60mph (following lorries basically) The auto box does seem to kill the fuel consumption on short journeys BTW - Best towcar I've ever had Have a look on Fuelly to see other examples of xc60 fuel consumption http://www.fuelly.com/ |

At 11p a mile it’s still costing me money on fuel recent trip to the office 200 miles got it up to 48.7 for a while (50mph average speed section of M6) Interestingly the main dash shows different mpg to the my car setting which seems to work off a trip meter of the last 100hours driving can anyone explain how it works? £70 of fuel trip was showing 541 miles when I filled up @ £1.287 a litre 45mpg........ To cover my fuel at 11p a mile I need to get better mpg I’m at 13p per mile at present 😔 V40 would be the answer Last edited by HDAV; Sep 21st, 2018 at 21:42. |
