The Toyota Land Cruiser 4.5 V8 diesel typically has a combined fuel consumption of around 11.9 liters per 100 kilometers (approximately 19.8 US mpg or 23.7 UK mpg) for models such as the J76 and the 2025 Land Cruiser 76 4.5D V8[1][7]. This figure is confirmed by both manufacturer specs and independent data sources.
Reported real-world use can vary, with some owners experiencing averages between 6.4 and 7.4 km/l (about 15–17.4 mpg US) depending on driving style, vehicle load, and terrain[5][6]. Under optimal, steady driving (such as highway cruising), some have managed to achieve higher mileage, while more demanding conditions (like heavy towing or off-road driving) result in significantly lower fuel economy.
Certain 4.5 V8 diesel models from different years have been quoted with slightly better or worse combined fuel figures. For example, some sources list a combined fuel consumption of 23.1–24.7 mpg (US) for select D-4D versions, although real-world values usually align more closely with the 11.9 l/100km figure[2][3].
As with all large, off-road-capable vehicles, actual consumption can be affected by factors such as tire choice, gearbox modification, and usage patterns.
