An often quoted figure, but terribly misleading as it’s comparing the D5 in 2.0 form, to the old D4 as a 3.0. Try comparing it engine for engine Thumbs Up

2016MY D4 3.0 = 2622kg

2018MY D5 2.0 = 2115kg (-547kg)
2018MY D5 3.0 = 2230kg (-392kg)

2.0 is 97kg less and the 3.0 is 58kg more than the 450kg claim ...so not so far off tbh Whistle

If you have to wait 17 seconds before reversing out of a parking space, that would be very annoying, if not actually horrifying.


It’s just one more good reason to reverse INTO parking spaces! Wink Very Happy
