For the AWD KX-3 Auto version, the official combined fuel economy is 47.9 mpg (UK) with CO2 emissions of 154 g/km[1]. In real-world tests over a week, overall average fuel consumption was lower at 37.7 mpg, with careful motorway driving achieving up to 58 mpg and more urban-focused driving pulling the average down[1].
The 2012-2014 2.0 CRDi (136 hp 4×2) had an official combined figure of 5.5 l/100 km (approximately 42.8 mpg)[6]. Another source for the 2012 KX-2 CRDi (manual, 134 bhp) states a combined official figure of 49.6 mpg (UK), while real-world averages generally hover in the high 30s mpg range[2].
User-reported consumption for various years shows significant variation, with 2014 diesel manual models averaging approximately 37.3 mpg, and other 2.0 CRDi examples from similar years reporting average consumption around 7.3 l/100 km (approximately 38.7 mpg)[4][5].
The official urban range for newer 2.0 CRDi AWD models is reported at 5.2-5.4 l/100 km (about 43–45 mpg) under city conditions[7].
