I ordered a 2.0 tdi 4x4 on Saturday. The only reason I went for the 4x4 was there was nothing else available that I wouldn't have to wait at least 12 weeks for.. After paying the deposit I discovered it was band D £110. Now I found out the 4x4 does 10mpg less. Neither of these facts were explained to me, had they have been I would have given it more thought. Has anybody got the 4x4, if so what mpg would I expect to get? Top gear say 14.5 less which is even more worrying.

Thanks

Only just got mine so can't really comment on fuel consumption yet. Also why did you order a car without even looking at it's details?

My wife has a 1.6 tdi 4x4. It's overall consumption is 0.56l pr 10km. That's with alot of short trips and use of the webasto heater during the Winter. It uses a bit more than my 2013 bmw 316dat.

Fast motorway runs gives 46 mpg that's what I have just achieved just now on a run to Inverness,steady runs gives 50 mpg, best I have had so far is 54 mpg.

Engine at nearly 3,000 is still running in and I only use shell v power diesel.

Thanks for all the replays. Looks at the average mpg people are getting I feel I can live with it, I was hoping to get up near the 50mpg mark but anything around the 43 will do.

The reason I choose the 4x4 was I was up against the clock and this came up at the last minute, brain was pretty mashed by all the different specs & costs by then. I have got 14 days cooling off but I think I'll stick with it.. Kinder hope we get plenty of snow this winter so I can justify the extra costs.

Looking at fuelly I don't think the 4x4 is tons worse than the regular 150ps, I've only clocked about 200 miles so far and my average is around 45mpg I think. I've read they loosen up over time though so I'm hopeful for 50 - 55mpg once it's bedded in a bit

 

Should need to refuel in a week or so and then I'll have my first set of numbers for fuelly
