Out of interest how do the onboard stats compare to the Fuelly figures? I am finding that mine are remarkably similar.

Unfortunately we were comparing with the 215 engine not the rather older 163 engine

The 215 D5 is a bigger engine though. The older design D3 is the equivalent in cc isn't it? The older D4 was a de-rated D5 putting out 163bhp.

So....XC60 D4 auto v Saab Aero estate (or technically, Turbo Edition ;-) Performance: well, the Saab would always have the edge, but the Volvo is a very good match, particularly given the size of it. Acceleration: probably same comment, although I am years from being the boy racer, and Stormy is good enough, particularly on the move. Load capacity? Volvo wins. Both had space saver spares, but the Volvo has almost 20% more space in the boot. Puncture? Not had one in the Volvo, but I do know I ended up carrying a full trolley jack in the Saab boot 'cos the Saab jack was a *nightmare* to use!! Overall, I did love my Saab's (14 years in 3!), but the Volvo equipment level (particularly with the DSP, the hard disk music, etc, etc) is far and above what I had with the Saab....comfort is about the same, but I much prefer the higher road position of Stormy ;-) Not regretted the move for a moment. Now 7,500 miles in!

The app stats almost mirror Fuelly, and I would expect there to be some minor variation since Fuelly has minor variations depending how much you cram into the tank each time. The on board trip gets less accurate the longer you leave it so I never really use that as I can't be bothered resetting it each trip/fill-up.

In that case... none of the XC60 engines allow for a like-for-like comparison with the older and newer VEA engines. What you'd really need is a new D5 or D4 AWD (VEA) to compare against the current selection. Or make do with a comparison vs the D3 163 |

The closest comparison to the new VEA 2.0 is the 2.0 D4 5-cyl (which was newer than the current D5). Over 15,000 miles, in my 2014MY XC60 with this engine and auto, I have averaged 42 mpg. However, my figure is likely to be better than most, simply because I cover a lot of distance on congested but usually flowing motorways.
As a rule of thumb, physically larger engines use more fuel because they take more energy to warm up (greater mass), and the pistons are heavier (greater losses of energy in the constant acceleration and deceleration as they go up and down).
