My OH has a 2009 2 litre diesel Titaniam 4wd, previously had a 2012 1.5D Qashqai n-tec+.

Excellent in the snow. Although we miss the camera parking aid and built in Sat Nav on the Qashqai (and its 47mpg), we prefer the Kuga. Heated leather seats, bigger inside and out and 4wd in the snow, all that makes it feels like a more substantial vehicle.

Only does about 35mpg but our mileage has reduced recently so that's not an issue. Still good compared to my car that gets 22mpg!

Forgot to mention we tested a Qashqai when we were looking to change. It was a very nice car but not really bigger then the Focus and just didn't seem as solid as the Kuga.

Did a 70 mile trip in mine today through Bradford and Leeds. Got 39mpg.

Ok, just done my first brim to brim, two fillings.
Mostly urban - only been Baildon - Barnsley & back once in the last 2 weeks, and the outbound was mostly cross country rather than motorway.

418 miles from 55.33 litres = 34mpg. Not bad, not far off the claimed urban consumption of 37.1

Considering I used to get at most 370 miles from 50 litres of unleaded in the Citroen C4, and this is a 2 tonne plus SUV, I'm pretty happy with that.

Yep, similar to what I find. Good motors.
