The Toyota Hilux 2.8 GD-6 is noted for its solid fuel efficiency, with consumption figures varying depending on driving style, conditions, and whether the vehicle features the newer 48V mild hybrid system.

For the 2021 Toyota Hilux 2.8 GD-6 4×4 automatic, average real-world fuel consumption is reported at around 21.6 miles per gallon (mpg) (approximately 10.9L/100km), with the best recorded figures reaching up to 28.0 mpg (about 8.4L/100km)[1]. Multiple owners report achieving between 8.0–9.5 km/L (10.5–12.5L/100km) in a combination of city and highway driving, with more careful driving or use of eco modes sometimes yielding better results[4].

For the 2024 Hilux 2.8GD-6 48V mild hybrid models, efficiency has improved:

  • Lowest observed (with savings mode): 7.8L/100km
  • Highest observed (driving without care): 10.1L/100km
  • Manufacturer claim (48V mild hybrid): 8.0L/100km

Previous non-hybrid models averaged around 11L/100km, so the new hybrid setup typically reduces consumption by up to 3L/100km in some scenarios[2].

Various forums also report the Hilux 2.8 GD-6 (manual and automatic) averages around 8.7–9.5 km/L (10.5–11.5L/100km) at steady highway speeds, with some users finding it difficult to exceed 12km/L (below 8.3L/100km) except with very gentle driving below 110km/h[4][5][6].

According to the manufacturer’s official technical specifications (WLTP data for European models), combined cycle consumption for the 2.8 diesel engine in various trims typically ranges from 28.5 to 33.2 mpg (8.5–10L/100km) depending on configuration (manual/automatic, cab style, and trim level)[3].
