The 4.4liter petrol (n63tu) is nice, the torque delivery is actually very similar to the 3liter diesel at low rpm. Most of time I’m driving in comfort+, and at this setting the rpm stays low. For my average type of driving the diesel was at 32mpg while the petrol is 22mpg. Not bad for a 450hp v8, but obviously a bit behind the diesel. I don’t drive much so the gas budget doesn’t bother me, so yeah I take the petrol over the diesel, sorry. The 3liter diesel is a very good engine, so if the brand new diesel (they have released a new engine?) is better it must be absolutely superb.

Only wish the petrol had a bit more exhaust rumble Have investigated in replacing the mufflers, but think it’s a lot of money to spend on replace a perfectly good part.
