Adrian – that mpg figure is so bad it’s almost unbelievable, had you not been told it by someone who is trying to sell you the car! I know that members on this forum with the 2.0 4 cylinder petrol engine XC40 report very poor economy, but I’m staggered that a 1.5 3 cylinder petrol engine could be that bad. Wigwam – did u check what mpg you achieved over your 3 hours? Both my daughters have 3 cylinder petrol engines cars (one’s a Ford and the other is a Hyundai) and both deliver mid 40’s mpg in mixed driving. Both engines have a nice note to them too, much to my surprise, although sound a bit rough at idle. Car Magazine did an interesting group test on the XC40 Recharge, Peugeot 3008 PHEV and Ford Kuga PHEV and I was surprised that the winner was the Kuga, which achieved by far the best overall mpg in spite of being the biggest car. It seems to have a far better electric range than the others which no doubt helps. The CVT transmission put me off the Kuga, whereas the XC40 has a conventional auto which I would much prefer.
