Evoque MPG ISSUES!!!!
Discussion
The Evoque is well down on LR figures on a flat road 33mph test for 15 mins. 50mpg.
The BMW was actually above BMW figures at 56mpg
The LR had to have two runs as the first was 45mpg and had to be gently coaxed to get 50mpg in a driving style that would be impossible to sustain. The BMW did it with what could be used every day.
This is not meant to be a comparison between marques, just an indication that it doesn't appear to be an issue across all manufacturers.

Can we have a bit of a reality check? We're complaining about 2 tonne + SUVs only getting 40+ mpg?
Except its 1.6 tonne or are you using the same calculator that LR use in which case it needs new batteries... Maybe LR would be advised to add a clear disclaimer in their brochure that their mpg figures are test results that definitely cant be obtained by users. That would of course apply to other manufacturers too.
Its about being told a load of s
te by manufacturers.
If you order from a menu then you should expect to get that thing, I doubt anyone would be happy ordering 'great cod almighty' in the local pub and getting a fish finger even if there's a disclaimer that fresh fish is seasonal
LR and other should know better and the disclaimer on their brochure is totally misleading it should clearly say 'never' get the figures.
The Evoque doesnt match up to users reasonable expectations of mpg (ie anywhere near it) given LR figures. Simples.

Maybe they make the mistake of thinking people are not a bit thick?
It is the same for every car out there.
Only you know how you drive, so if it is a concern test it properly. It isn't rocket science.
Maybe the other way round? ie assume manufacturers are all completely incorrect in their data to the point of ignoring all information provided? It is the same for every car out there.

But they're not, I have had cars that I have beaten the official figures for, on the type of driving I am doing, it is about buying the right car for the driving you are going to do.
If that's the case then is it just LR taking the ps? - I was trying to be respectful by bringing others into the fray.If its about buying the right car it potentially doesn't stack, up as people could choose it for mpg in its class etc. At what point does mpg become an issue against manufacturers info - 20mpg? 10mpg?

Would you give travel agents this much grief if it rains for a bit on your holiday, but the brochure shows you the hotel in glorious sunshine?
Thats not really a comparison to this situation - If the view was of a brick wall not a mountain as per the brochure of the room and I was going to be there for 3 years yes I would! Gassing Station | Land Rover | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
