Anyone well versed on this or have a link to a compariosn site or anything?

 

Bugger if i was at work i could of given you a comparison for them all.

The X5 3.0d auto will realistically acheieve 40mpg

I'll have a scout about to see if i can find you the comparibles.

 

Cheers, u're a STAR!!!!!!!

 

my mates just collected his cayanne turbo but i think he's still having fun in it and has done about 8mpg

 

i had a 2004 range rover td6 its the same engine as the x5 i averaged 28mpg, my mate has a cayenne s the v8 4.5 and average is 16mpg the cayenne turbo he had on a weekend test drive averaged 9mpg but was a lot quicker

J

 

A customer of mine has just part ex'd his cayenne for the x5 because he got a maximum of 20mpg ou of it!

 

Thanks!!!! I would give you the thumbs up but I can't work out how to attatch the smileys.....!
Quite believe it about the Porsche, I want a new car, ideally a 4x4 as I've never had one but driven one for a month when i was in the states and loved every minute of it. But I aint willing to compromise on MPG though, that's the pissŁr. out of the lot i'd like the 4.4 RR and I've heard the diesel one isn't much cop.

 

I know they arent to everyones taste, but what about an X3? Get a nice M sport, and they can look the nuts, plus you have the added advantage of getting over 50mpg out of the 2.0d version!!

 

Sorry, thanks for the suggestion but I think they look awful like something Ssangyong or whatever it is would come out with Lol

on the same level as this

 

fair do's i think theyre hideous too... and i have to sell the buggers!

 

Ha ha, I appreciate your honesty, i actually semi-considered letting you down gently by changing the subject.....!
So u can get me a deal then.......Lol

 

Only on new im afraid!!!!!

 

I'm getting about 25mpg to my X5 which isn't that bad as I cane it, as I've got a fuel card. I could get a lot more if I took it easy.

Other half's Dad has a Cayenne (non turbo) he's not the slowest of drivers and mainly does motorway runs and he's getting roughly mid 20's. He's chopping it in for a VW equivalent of some sort, but I don't think its the Tourag or whatever it is although its pretty fancy and apparently parks itself

Both are pig ugly. I much prefer the Landcruisers

 

Pah....... landcruisers are pony! lol


The new engine on the x5 nath will punch out even better mpg than yours too!!

 

Range Rover V8s should do late teens to high 20s.
The diesel when chipped (Ł500 or there abouts) is much better, ive seen over 34mpg from one.

What about a Discovery 3?
The tdv6 hse is a great car and in auto can do 36mpg in general motorway driving, ive seen over 40 from them. can also be chipped gives 50bhp and 120nm of torque.

 

The X5 is a 55 plate so whatever engine/spec that is. Oh and Landcruisers are the Daddies of 4x4 but you sell BM'ers so of course you can't agree

 

they only changed the engine this september, so youll have the old one......

 

Turn the sales talk off I'm not buying a new one cause I've got an OLD one Although I wouldn't mind the M6 but I'd need to do some serious arse licking to get one of them. I wouldn't want to fund the fuel costs as I can imagine that been pretty shocking


Those Ssangyong things are disgusting

 

Cor M6... yes perrrrrrrrlease!!!!!!

 

x5m?

 

Maria ive never heard of anyone getting 40mpg from a 3.0d X5. More like low to mid 20's normal driving.

 

Ive got a Cayenne Turbo. Had it for 3 years so can tell you to expect around 18MPG from one on average.

On track I get about 6MPG!!!!

Awesome car though. You cannot even compare any other 4x4 against it performance wise. It wipes the floor with the lot of them.
