2019 Range Rover Autobiography 2.0 PHEV Carpathian Grey

Nice pictures ! What color do you think this one is ? I would think it"s Stanhope Grey, it"s too dark for Orkney and too light for Causeway but I am not sure. Any way to check this somehow ?

Spot the mistake:

The last time Land Rover dropped a six-cylinder diesel engine into the Range Rover looking for better efficiency and a lower entry price, it was owned by BMW and the short-lived result was less than perfect. Even if Ford’s subsequent takeover (and the development of the cheaper Sport) hadn’t killed it, the paucity of performance - 60mph took a life-sapping 12.7 seconds - meant that the TDV6 was never likely to live for long as a luxury SUV offering.

Apart from the obvious, the TD6 lasted 12 years.

Yes, that's the "obvious". I wouldn't call 12 years "short-lived" either. Hardly a surprise from Autocar.

IIRC it was only in the car for 4-5years before it was ditched for the tdv8??

That MPG will easily be able to be improved on when on a cruise as i reckon you could get low-mid 40's without much stress or slowing lorries down FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
