But 20-21mpg for a diesel 4x4. My 110 2.2 is towards the high 20’s and it’s used pretty hard, 160k plus miles and 9 years old.

For 2023 that’s pathetic. If it’s doing 20-21mpg what happens when it’s towing something heavy and a load of kit in the back. It’s going to be in the 10’s. Our vans are doing 20-36mpg now. The newer ones are getting even better.

Your 110 is also missing over 100hp and lots of torque. Doesn’t have to meet the same emissions standards. Weighs less as it doesn’t have to meet the same crash standards, has way less features and a manual gearbox.

Ie if you put your engine in a Grenadier I bet it wouldn’t do the mpg you get with your 110 either.

....from your Grenadier?

Customer of mine has the diesel version and he's getting 20-21mpg in mixed driving.
The vehicle had done around 2,000 miles in total.

This isn't far off what my old Defender used to achieve. My new Defender is a bit better, averaging around 26mpg in town driving and around 35mpg on a run (keeping 60/70mph where appropriate, it's a Commercial so 60mph on dual carriageways)

This is of interest to me as l may swap my Defender for the 5 seat Grenadier Commercial

As a comparison how does its fuel consumption compare to say a Discovery 4 which was pretty portly at 2650kgs, so somewhat similar in the weight department?
