  • How does the emissions and economy compare to the equivalent estate or hatchback from the same manufacturer?

    People keep saying their new SUV is better than their old car which isn't an apple for apple's comparison

  • Last car was a Skoda their SUV was poor on emissions so I went to Toyota.
    Official emissions are lower. Over 2 years I’ve got 48.7mpg (on petrol) to the Skoda 39 mpg(diesel).
    I drive carefully and switch it to “Eco” and “Eco” climate control whenever I can. Early in the morning I regularly get over 58mpg on drives like West Norwood to Ilford, if I really try it can go over 62mpg.

  • climate control

    you monster

  • Yeh so you have compared new to old which is apples and oranges rather than Toyota SUV vs Toyota estate or hatchback with the same engine and level of trim which is apples for apples
    (happy to give the benefit of doubt that I just badly worded my initial post)

    I can beat that. Petrol auto, hybrid. 16 years old, 101k miles on the clock. Coming up to 50k miles on the current tyres. Lifetime average mpg on the car is just over 70mpg. I average ~65mpg on my commute in shitty London outskirts traffic. Got that up to 82.5mpg driving carefully during the petrol shortage when I had to make my 12 litres last a few weeks. Best I’ve done on a 50 mile journey is 111mpg but I know the manual version can clear 120mpg without much effort.
