XC90 Fuel Consumption
I'm looking at swapping my XC70 for an XC90. My annual mileage is low so I'm considering going for a T6 rather than paying extra for a diesel. Claimed combined fuel consumption is around 23mpg - is this what they return in real life?

18 mpg in the city and might JUST manage 30 mpg on a nice run , avoid the T6 it will cost you money it has a GM cadilac gearbox which can fail too .. go for the 2.5 petrol turbo if you can find one .. But before you do that try a 185 bhp D5 ... it will do all you want

from the other side of the pond.....t6's are a common failure here. in the beginning we only had a 2.5 or t6 available. no d5 soooo the t6's were the premium engine. transmission failures were common @ 35k and many would have been changed by the 100k mark.
avoid the t6 at all cost, i only have one because this one was recently changed before i acquired it! otherwise i would be in a 2.5 awd 7 passenger

T6 mpg
54 plate T6 / 16mpg around the Isle of Wight, but have seen 22mpg when on a run on the mainland. Only do about 2500 mile a year so not a big problem with mpg.
