2019 Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 Santorini Black

For me it would be the 4.4.

The SC is nice etc but I got so sick of filling mine up every 250 miles, i was literally filling up daily sometimes.

The 3.6 is the same Price but the oldest model effectively so that would be third choice for me.

1. 4.4
2. 5.0
3. 3.6 Discovery 4 HSE
1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF
1982 Series 3 Hard Top

If the supercharger whines there is a problem.

Either the 4.4 TDV8 or the 5.0 sc. Both are great. I'm sure my 5.0 does 0-100kmh in 5.0

2007 Range Rover Supercharged 4.2 SC V8 Zermatt Silver

If I had the money to buy any of those I wouldn't care about the fuel efficiency ....

..... So 5.0SC it would be then, 19mpg is still better than the 17mpg from the 4.4 V8 I'm planning on getting soon anyway.

Believe me you would, it's not just the cost, more the range, as said earlier, it can be really boring to have to stop every 250 miles! I filled up twice on Friday! Fortunately with LPG, so cost wasn't a bother, but it's still very tedious standing at the pump so frequently! The only saving grace with the LPG is that you're always consicous that you're paying half price, which takes the sting out of it nicely.

Also, with the LPG, I can have a Range of 500 miles easily by using both LPG and Petrol, sorry, going OT.... Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining!

I've driven all three and I vote for the 5L Supercharged not so much for the performance which the 4.4L TDV8 has plenty of but it beats the diesel for refinement.
I'm saving for the 5L so impressed I was, I'm getting there!

You must have been really hammering it to only get 250 miles put of a 100 litre tank!! I can get around 400 miles out of my 4.4 v8 petrol when I fill the tank to the brim

5.0 SC for me. As stated if anyone finds themselves considering a new one, knowing full well what the depreciation and general running costs are then fuel bills are a minor IMO

Exactly we are talking NEW so fuel/mpg is not the issue here....

Some people don't like having to stop several times a week and spend ages filling it up though.

It's not about the cost, it's about freezing your t*ts off every couple of days because you can't drive for more than 4 hours without running out of fuel.

You're right, I was being very conservative. I usually refuel on petrol between 250-300 miles, but then I'm only putting maybe up to £100 in, so it's far from a full tank. The S/C gives me around 16.5mpg overall. Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining!

If you're too lazy to fill it up, I can understand you prefer Diesel.
Petrolheads will find that driving the 5L Supercharged is worth the extra effort and cost of filling it up though.
I'm in the process of converting myself also.
