UK 3.0l vs 2.0l
Having driven the 2l, the 3l looks very interesting. Can anyone confirm the attached contrast (2 to 3) is correct for the UK, based on German sites?
0-60 8.5 v 6.9 Output kW 135 v 190 Mpg combined 50.4 v 47.1 CO2 149g v 159g STD wheels 17" v 18" UK road tax £125 v £155. Anyone else got any comparisons? Advised official UK data on 3.0 due "within weeks". Thanks. |

UK 3.0l price
If "marmite" in another thread is right, the next comparison is UK price which seems to be UK 2.0l price plus £6000. It is suggested elsewhere this premium includes the 8speed auto box as well as the bigger engine. Hopefully the extra cost also brings more goodies - standard 18' wheels has been suggested. This would still work out at around £4000 for the extra horse power. Anyone have any more news?

£4k does not sound too bad for the extra power - looks impressive

That was certainly my view, especially, as I would likely buy the additions hinted to come as standard with the 3.0l anyway.
I wonder if there will be a significant difference between the stop/start function between the two engines? When cold, will the 4cyl be more noisy than the 6cyl? Also, will the 6 not take more battery juice to restart? Does this mean more wear |

Hell yes!
The 4 cylinder is quite aggricultral in comparison with the 6 cylinder Although the sound proffing is pretty good

If the 18" tyres are standard on the 3.0l, amazingly that alone might account for part of the poorer mpg, as I think I saw somewhere the larger tyres reduced mpg. If the above figures are right, the 3.0l combined mpg is amazing for the power. Suspect the urban mpg will show a much larger difference to the 2.0l.
