My wife has had a 2012 JGC limited plus, auto diesel, since February this year. She loves it.
It has the different 3.0 V6 (Italian) engine though.
Yes, it’s thirsty, with a recorded 28-32 mpg driving locally.
For constant 100 mile journey, this rose to 44mpg. (Not checked by brim to brim).
She chose this over BMW X5, Audi Q7, Volvo XC90, Kia sorrento, Skoda codiaq, Nissan quashquai 2, Honda CR-V, Hyundai Santa Fe, primarily on boot space. Level of features and comfort were 2nd level criteria.
Ok, not for me due to size and mpg, but then again, I don’t have to lug around the boxes of stuff that she does, for her work as an interior designer.
I had already warned her that:
- i could probably buy a mint 75, for what she will pay for a set of tyres.
- I could probably buy 3 mint 75’s for what it’ll depreciate in a year, every year for 6 years.
- it would make more sense to buy a 75 with a trailer!
Did she listen....did she hell!!!😰😰😰
