What's the best guess here? Seen estimates in Europe but hard to determine what US specs will be after imperial vs. US Gal & Euro vs. US mpg regulatory testing.

In summary curious what we'll see as combined+city+hwy MPG estimates.

I'm considering a 328d Xdrive wagon what has 35/31/43 (comb/city/hwy) & curious of Macan Diesel will be anywhere close?

I had a thread on the UK forum and mostly it was low to mid 30s. So dividing by 1.2 I would think high 20s combined. The Macan won't be anywhere close to the BMW, that's a small diesel.

I agree. High 20s combined.

And it appears to be anyone's guess when the diesel will show up in the US.

My dealer told me MY 2016. Hope it's right.

KeninBlaine

That would likely mean late 2015 at the earliest. Not bad I guess.

Buckfever

That would suck. I was hoping to order it this October. At this rate the refreshed Cayenne Diesel will be available sooner.

I think it will be sometime next summer. My $0.02

Is the Macan diesel expected to be a 4 cyl.?

I bought the 228d Xdrive wagon over a Macan Turbo and am loving it. In general I don't like BMWs but this car is great for what it is & wants to be; a very good looking (especially in the Mtrim), super fuel efficient, spacious, & relatively sporty wagon.

Don't know. In Europe, the diesel is a V6 so I would expect that one here.

KeninBlaine

I believe right now it is the Audi Q5 V6 diesel motor.

Buckfever

I just read that they pushed the Pajun out a couple years. Who knows what they bring here when.

Slow Guy

I think they also have a V8 diesel in the Cayenne in Europe.....
no such luck for us.

I hope it will be the V6!

fincher

Yeah, the V8 TDI...also on the Touareg. Engine is not certified in US but that would be awesome.
