This is far below all figures I have seen so far on both engines. I admit that I can’t believe they are the real ones.
When will you get the car?

The date of delivery here in SA is 20 March 23. I must have been of the first customers that have ordered here in SA as they have invited me on an IG Vanguard getaway for three days beginning of December for a self drive experience in the greater Kruger National Park!

That’s awesome! I would not care about the fuel efficiency topic if I could be part of such an event.
If you feel a slight tug on the back of your neck, that's my envy!

I am from South Africa. I have received and signed my contract last week, 10 Nov 22. I have noticed the following fuel consumption stipulated:

Well I'll swap:

It may depend on the country as to how they measure fuel economy
We don't use WLTP in Australia as far as I am aware.
At the end of the day what it says means very little.
How you load it up and how you drive it has more impact on fuel .

But what they write will have an impact on the tax regardless how sensitive your foot is.

Thank you @Francois - mine showed 307g/ 12l Diesel 100km in the Order - sheet. Also WLTP.
I ordered a Fieldmaster - however with Rough package + Auxilliary Battery so there isnt much difference to yours -except the aux battery & cabling I opted for.

To this I conclude - the contractual data is a much closer estimate than the preliminary- Also I doubt the 307g - that will be less. - also fuel consumption of 12l / 100km will be much lower.
The 250g and around 10l / 100km is more real.. so worst case estimate

Will see whats in my contract once I receive it.. that however will still take a while.
