The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser has an EPA combined fuel economy rating of 23 mpg, with a city rating of 22 mpg and a highway rating of 25 mpg across all three trim levels equipped with the 2.4-liter turbo-four hybrid powertrain[1][2][4][5][6].
This hybrid setup makes the new generation Land Cruiser significantly more fuel-efficient compared to the previous-generation model, which had a 5.7-liter V8 and was rated at only 14 mpg combined, with 13–14 mpg commonly reported for older diesel variants[1][7].
Real-world tests typically show average results close to the EPA estimates, with reviewers averaging between 22 and 23 mpg during mixed driving conditions[2][3]. However, highway fuel economy may drop to near 21 mpg if cruising above 65 mph, and observed highway testing has returned figures between 20 and 21 mpg[3][5]. Older diesel models (Land Cruiser Prado 70 series) generally deliver 13–14 mpg in actual use[7].
Despite being a hybrid, the new Land Cruiser’s fuel economy remains moderate for its rugged, body-on-frame SUV class, but represents notable progress compared to earlier generations[6].
