RRS 5.0 SC

[sukh_m]

Hello All

Considering buying one, 2010MY onwards. Is 20mpg about right on the combined cycle?

Was going to go 3.0TDV6 route but suffered/suffering turbo/DPT issues on current diesel; too many short local journeys. Petrol is probably the way to go......Any views appreciated.

TIA

have a look at LR figures?

I think around 15mpg would be more realistic - of course depends how enthusiastically you drive, lol

26mpg extra urban, really

would be good to hear from some RRS 5.0 SC owners

until recently I drove an L322 4.4 V8 petrol and average was 14.6mpg

now have an L405 4.4 V8 TD and get about 24mpg despite LR figures of 30+

Really, I've never reset the trip on mine and its showing an average of 30 over 18k miles....I do stay away from city centres where I can though!

5.0SC Id expect around 15-17 combined?

I am concerned with the mpg - its going into main dealer for two days next week so maybe this will be sorted?

Why don't you buy a proper Range Rover instead of something that's based on a Discovery?

Hmmm... It does depend a lot on how it is driven but on a run I was getting circa 34mpg.

...ragging it, significantly less.

not ragging it at all - when I bought it in early Dec I was getting 30+mpg - still driving the same routes/style

as said it goes to main dealer on Monday for some warranty work and have asked them to check this out - will report back

I believe LR figures were 19mpg for the overall combined figure; after 26k miles in mine over the past 20 months, on all road types and journey lengths, I am getting generally 19.5-21mpg, occasionally 22mpg on long m-way journeys. This is a 2010 5li.
