I think if you do fairly low miles and I mean below 10k per year then the Mpg doesn’t really matter ( to me anyways )
the main thing is that you love the car, the way it looks, they way it drives and how it makes you feel ??can’t ask for more than that ?
obviously if you’re using your car to commute to work and travelling long daily distances you maybe look at it differently,
But I guess I’m a “Recreational Driver” ? so I tend to do more miles during the warmer months to get out n about a bit more, certainly compared to the lower miles I do over the wintery months
saying that , when I was working etc I never ever, ever – ever – ever picked a car based on its mpg figures
had a couple of thirsty petrols back in the day that got to high teens, never grumbled it was just the price you paid for having a quickish car
so any potential xc40 owners out there who don’t do double digit thousand miles per year , I wouldn’t be put off! if that’s the car that floats your boat and ticks your boxes I’d be on it like a tramp on chips ??
