What is miles per pound?
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 24 - 35 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.

Expensive to buy, but maintenance should be reasonable; V6 rather thirsty but 2.2 16v quite economical. Very spacious; bigger than Galaxy family or Citroen/Peugeot/Fiat trio, but also pricier; V6 engine is best choice; not as elegant or nice to drive as some rivals.
Reliability has been appalling with owners reporting a long list of problems, ranging from small niggles to major work.
