What Is the MPG of the Toyota Land Cruiser?
The Toyota Land Cruiser is known for strength, longevity, and off-road performance. While fuel efficiency is not its main focus, MPG changes depending on the engine, drivetrain, and model year.
Classic Models
- FJ40 (gasoline) – 10 to 13 MPG
- FJ60 (4.2L inline-6) – 12 to 15 MPG
- FJ62 (fuel-injected inline-6) – 12 to 16 MPG
- BJ40 and BJ46 (diesel) – 18 to 25 MPG
Classic Land Cruisers deliver basic reliability and off-road toughness. Diesel versions offer better mileage than gasoline counterparts.
80 Series – 1990 to 1997
- Gasoline engines – 12 to 14 MPG
- Diesel engines (1HZ, 1HD-T) – 16 to 20 MPG
This generation introduced full-time four-wheel drive and increased comfort, but added weight reduced fuel efficiency.
100 Series – 1998 to 2007
- 4.7L V8 (gasoline) – 13 to 16 MPG
- 4.2L turbo diesel – 18 to 22 MPG
The 100 Series balanced on-road comfort with off-road strength. Diesel options are more fuel-efficient.
200 Series – 2008 to 2021
- 5.7L V8 (gasoline) – 12 to 15 MPG
- 4.5L twin-turbo diesel (non-US markets) – 17 to 22 MPG
Known for luxury and durability, the 200 Series is also one of the least fuel-efficient versions.
250 and 300 Series – 2022 to Present
- 300 Series 3.3L twin-turbo diesel – Around 25 MPG
- 300 Series 3.5L twin-turbo V6 (gasoline) – 18 to 22 MPG
- 250 Series 2.8L diesel or hybrid – Up to 27 MPG (estimated)
These modern models use turbocharged and hybrid systems to improve fuel efficiency without compromising capability.
