Although you've got a much more modern gearbox on the D3, the 4.2 isn't exactly torquey and you're probably lugging the equivalent of a couple of extra bodies around in kerb weight terms (Wikipedia isn't very helpful on D3 weights, but the lowest seems to be 150kg more than the lowest D2).
Wheels also make a massive difference, so if your D2 was rolling on small wheels and the D3 is on 20s that'll knock some off too.
Add in a couple of minor age related engine wear issues (worn injectors, fuel pump getting on a bit etc)
It's a lot of small differences that quickly add up.
