Of course it is about 1000Kg lighter than a D4 or RR, but maybe the extra urban is on flat ground, which would tend to negate the weight.

Different diff ratios and different gearbox???
Can't see the territory being released with an 8spd box....


Sent from my backyard TeePee using smoke signals.

I do agree, they are an awesome drive, anyone that claims there’s no difference between the D4 and RR Vogue really has their head where it’s not shining.

very very tru,

tho the car i was driving was a LRA car and was used up the beach the last few days,, and as youd imagin was driven hard and come into the shop with a avg of 18.4, :p so it gose like a v8 and can allso drink it like a v8 if driven hard:cool:,, tho i guess 18 from lotsa very soft sand driving isent to bad realy;)

Pity that to have the benefits of this fantastic performance that the buyer of a new one would have to pay $100 per day or more in depreciation.
Sort of negates the fuel economy.

Don't mind me I am just jealous.

Lovemyrangie, I was just commenting that it is possible maybe to achieve the 5.6 average on flat ground.
I can recall saying when D3 was released , what a missed opportunity it was that it weighed up to 2800kg. It just shows that 1000Kg or whatever can make an enormous difference in economy if the Territory can get 6.2 while the D4TDV6 gets 8.4. The AWD vs RWD in Territory petrol is worth 0.5. Its still 8.4 vs 6.7 est.( figures are not yet on the green cars site)
