Fuel economy

A more stringent standard for fuel economy (WLTP) was introduced from September 2017, and this model was not required to undergo that test. Its fuel economy measured under the previous test system was 23 - 32 mpg. However these figures are less likely to be achievable in real world driving and so should never be compared to another car's mpg which was measured under the newer, more realistic WLTP system.

Parts and servicing costs are reasonable, fuel economy and insurance is acceptable. Depreciation will be a concern if you’re buying new.

Terrano performs badly on the eco front. With an average of 254 g/km CO2 across the model line-up, its emissions are quite high for a large 4x4. However, it’s worth noting that the line up has a high number of diesel models, bringing the average down and giving buyers more choices of low-emission versions. Diesels typically produce less CO2 than petrol engines with similar power outputs.

The range is quite thirsty, averaging 29 mpg.

Mechanically strong and capable of huge mileages. However, interior trim can break off easily and the quality of the plastics (and fake wood) isn’t very good.
