Large 4x4 best fuel tank range

Commute a round trip of 200 miles per day on a free flowing motorway. Need a large 4x4 with a big fuel tank range. Have £15k to 18k to spend. What is recommended?

A large 4x4 in which to do 200 miles a day doesn't make a lot of sense. Better something capable of 60mpg or more. But if you want a large 4x4 I'd go for a KIA Sorento 2.2 KX2-Nav manual. That has 7 seats, pulls 2,200kg and will do 40mpg cruising at 70mph.

Strong diesels including impressive 2.2-litre. Comes with seven seats. New six-speed automatic. More premium feel than previous Sorento. Great value for money.
