It weighs like a pickup truck.
In diesel pickups idling is cheap + with low end torque ~1800rpm.

The 1700kg + petrol engine will not save much petrol if at all especially in stop start traffic/standstill jam compared to current 2.5L.

If petrol cost is ballooning like crazy a diesel sedan like 320D might be a better idea.

Roadtax wise 400-odd bucks difference, and usually for used cars between 2.4 and 2.0 (camry) always prefer the 2.4 for better features and better FC due to it having adequate power rather than underpowered feel of 2.0 which lead to heavier right foot and no savings in fuel as a consequence.
2.5 is 880 (green diesel)
2.4 is 742 (camry 2.4)
2.0 is 379 (camry 2.0)
