Petrol or diesel SUV?

Petrol or diesel SUV?

Hi I am thinking of changing my 07 opel Astra 1.6 petrol for a newer suv (151) but I don't know should I be going for a petrol or diesel model , annual mileage around 12,000 miles

Our answer:

Hi Anthony,

With your annual mileage, you’re not doing quite enough to break the 20,000km threshold – if you do more than that, a diesel’s economy makes financial sense. Any less, and, in general, a petrol car will be fine. We reckon you should be looking at petrol 151-plate SUVs as a result.
