I currently average around 28mpg combined. During motorway journeys I can get as high as 34mpg. Urban I haven't seen it dip below 25mpg.


......... Pretty much the same for me. I think it is better than my old D3.

Seems to be about 5mpg up on the 3.6 TDV8, which was what Land Rover claimed. Thumbs Up
Amazing really when you consider the weight and power.

I know, awesome. 3.6TDV8 was and still is an excellent engine when you take into things like size and weight as you say.

I reckon that the L405 will be 5mpg at least up on that. 30 around town and 40 on a run. Just my guess.

I think you are right.
Shaving 400 to 500kg off the weight alone will make a big difference. Plus it'll probably get a stop-start system.

2010 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Baltic Blue

My previous Range Rover was a 3.6TDV8 is was doing 21.8 MPG.My 4.4 TDV8 has now covered 16,500 miles and has so far returned 22.8 MPG this is lower than I was expecting.Agree with what many have said on here in terms of the performance though,considering the size of the vehicle it really is a revelation.My father runs a 4.0d X5 and whislt the stats suggest it to be a very fast jeep it really doesn't (to me) feel any slower than the Range Rover.

Neither are Jeeps.

Or trucks.

I think he is cheesed off with people refering to 4x4s of any specific make as "jeeps".
A Jeep is not a 4x4, although a lot of people think so...

Sorry, didn't mean to appear tw@ish, just I drive a Range Rover not a jeep, and it's not a truck, although it can sometimes appear truck like. Laughing

Just my pedantry.

My 4.4 ave is 25 Town and 29 mway at 80+ and 30+ mixed Did not buy it for the great fuel consumption it was all about the torque and the way it drives Bow down

My 3.6 RRS does 20 Town and 25 Run ( on a good day )

My 3.SDV6 disco 4 Commercial is doing 27 Town and 32 run far less grunt and a far lighter motor.

Got to say i think the 4.4 is a revelation in the FFRR to be honest Thumbs Up Far to many gone...
