Fuel economy TDV6 vs TDV8 4.4 Vogue

[Manks]

Hi All

I am still wrestling with the question of whether to chop my TDV6 Vogue for a new Vogue. Honestly I am struggling to justify the additional cost. However, I have not considered fuel economy and running costs.

Has anyone had both cars and done a real world comparison of the running costs?

Thanks for any advice on this.

If you are referring to a TD6 Vogue vs a 4.4TDV8 Vogue ? The TDV6 is in the Range Rover Sport.

I have a 3.0 TD6 Vogue, and recently borrowed a 4.4 TDV8. I'd say the 4.4 achieved approx 25% better MPG over exactly the same cross country journey. The 8 Speed gearbox, and the fact the engine doesn;t have to work as hard i assume.

Yes, sorry, superfluous "V". So how many MPG do you think the V8 managed?

My 4.4 TDV8 has covered 13,000 miles and has averaged at 22.5 MPG so far,previous TDV8 covered 98,000 and was doing about 21.5mpg if i remember correctly

2010 TDV8 4.4 has done 16k from new and has averaged 24mpg (75% motorway miles). The old TDV6 was 20mpg ish.

I do 12k miles per annum. The fuel saving is not going to offset much of the depreciation.

6k miles on our MY11 4.4 tdv8 and we're averaging 26-27mpg, mixed driving.

I'm sure the claimed 30mpg is possible, but you would have to be driving like an old man.
