SUVs are more about the look and space for the vast majority of drivers – I don’t mind in the slightest that the Tiguan I have now is FWD, I’m enjoying the extra 10mpg it seems to be getting lol. I don’t think its fair to say it’s misleading, every vehicle on the scheme specifically tells you in the motability search if it’s front, rear, AWD or 4×4 – if someone doesn’t actually look at the description, I don’t think its fair to say the description is misleading.
I agree about the fuel consumption we have a Kuga 4 x 4 our friend has the same car but 2WD, it about 8 mpg better than our 4 x 4.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
