Trims

Average mpg on a trim group does not record the test cycle, so these groups are not ranked against each other.

entry170.2 PS
mid193.9 PS
premium194.8 PS

Average PS stored for each trim group. Average mpg stays in the table because the test cycle is not recorded on the group.

Performance

Highest power

Published variants in this generation with a stored PS figure, highest first.

Bar length is the stored PS figure. Brake horsepower is a different unit and is not plotted here.

Variant	Power	Gearbox	Body
Sd M Sport 3.0 diesel 286PS	285.5 PS (281.6 bhp)	Automatic	SUV
D M Sport 3.0 diesel 286PS	285.5 PS (281.6 bhp)	Automatic	SUV

Fastest 0–60

Published variants with a stored 0–60 time, quickest first.

Bar length is the stored 0–60 time. A longer bar is a slower time.

How these figures are produced

Specifications and counts come from the VehicleScore UK vehicle catalogue. A count of cars is the number of records in that dataset. It is not UK production, not sales, and not the number of cars currently on the road.

Power is shown in PS where the catalogue stores PS, and in bhp only where bhp is stored separately. Official fuel economy is labelled NEDC or WLTP when the test cycle is known. Figures from different cycles are not ranked together. Empty values are left blank.

The catalogue does not store a revision date, so these pages do not show a last-updated day.
