might as well do moronic SUV properly and they have, brilliant. Just not in chav white shoes white.
The black one looks.....purposeful.
Likely less range than most EV's at speed on a German Autobahn not that the owner would care.

black looks... st. It's probably just been washed and you can already see dirt on it, hateful, impractical 'colour'

The standard SV’s above are way more classy. That purple one is lovely …

I get between 250-300 miles on a c£100 tankful, 300-350 on a run. When this car was new it would have been an £80 tankful.

Petrol has averaged roughly 150p a litre in the past 3 years.
I'm old school so that is £6.80 a gallon and I'm sure that Lister hasn't been doing much over 20 mpg in its time, so I rounded it to 34p / mile x 60,500 miles = £20,570 in fuel.

Even more depressing is the realisation that even at 40mpg thats £10k in fuel (or rather £8k in tax and £2k in fuel if one was to be pedantic)

Don't be silly! Though they're great for exploring the uncharted reaches of the Sainsburys car park or the void between most of their drivers' ears!

Sounds great. Bet you've seen a few hedges in your time.

Damn right. That's more depressing than I could ever imagine. Nevertheless, I do in fact like the Lister as you buy into individualism. Quite important I feel in an overpopulated world with roads choc full of, well, much of the same. Like homes of today, most modern cars lack character.

We have an F25 X3 35d M Sport. All the bells and whistles (literally) and simple remap........ up-to 400bhp (360-380 safe) and 540ft/lb of torque with 35mpg.

Even sound ok and well under 2 tonnes.

Obvs a petrol V8 is different level but for those on a budget..................

Or, a current shape SQ5 which I have. 345hp / 516lb/ft torque as standard and a great all rounder. A remap I think takes them to 380hp / 620lb/ft. Interesting not more bhp is available but it's plenty fast enough anyway as it is. Standard it almost keeps up with an SQ7....at least to 90mph anyway and then the SQ7 is faster thanks to that nice V8.

Similar numbers to the GLE400d that I have as standard(330bhp/516Ib/ft). The GLE doesn't feel all that quick though because it has 2300kg to drag around with it, so a remap would definitely be a benefit in that I reckon. I do think that the low down torque from a diesel engine does suit an SUV...but then I would say that because I can't afford to run the petrol V8 version though!

If money was no object then I'd imagine that I probably wouldn't be going anywhere near a diesel in fairness(although I do find the 700 mile range in the GLE400d quite handy though on long journeys).

Depends on your perspective. Greta ;-)

From mine, it most definitely isn't a waste of money.

"few can dispatch a school run quicker than this" What? Correct me if am wrong, but most schools are within a built-up area, with a UK speed limit of 30mph, potentially reducing to between 5 and 20mph outside the school itself. So why on earth would you need 666bhp, 0-60 in 3.6secs and a top end of 195mph. Absolutely ludricous. Should one of these grace itself near a school it would be like the Somme.

I don't think this is the website for you.

Perhaps you should join your friends at "Stop Oil" and "Extinction Rebellion" ?

It was a valid criticism.

Some car enthusiasts are also responsible and understand science. Unfortunately folk like you give us a bad name.

I know Performance SUVs are the work of Lucifer in some (narrower) minds, but even the standard is a cracking car, defies physics and is ridiculous value when you consider other 550bhp+ V8 SUVs.

Rather good that

let's be honest none of us need most of what we have in the west - our houses are too big, we replace our electrical goods far too often, we don't need the holidays we take, we eat and drink too much.... what's your point?

"Valid criticism " ? Likening driving to school in a powerful car to the Battle of the Somme ?

Pathetic
