Land Cruiser MPG by grade

From toyota.com's 2026 and 2027 Land Cruiser specifications pages (mpg/other, mechanical/performance and weights/capacities), read November 3, 2026. Actual mileage will vary.

The EPA records behind the numbers

Miles per gallon. From fueleconomy.gov (U.S. EPA and Department of Energy) records for the Toyota Land Cruiser, read November 3, 2026. Both records list a hybrid with stop-start, 4-wheel drive and premium gasoline, and their figures match toyota.com's.

One powertrain: i-FORCE MAX

Toyota.com lists the same powertrain on both grades for 2026 and 2027: the i-FORCE MAX 2.4-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder hybrid, with 326 net combined horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 465 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,700 rpm, an 8-speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission with intelligence (ECT-i) and a 288V sealed nickel-metal hydride battery with 1.87 kWh capacity.

Both grades have full-time 4-wheel drive with Active Traction Control (A-TRAC), a Torsen limited-slip center differential with locking feature and electronically controlled locking rear and center differentials, plus Drive Mode Select with Sport, Eco, Normal and Snow modes. The Land Cruiser grade also has Multi-Terrain Select with Auto, Dirt, Sand, Mud, Rock and Deep Snow modes.

Toyota.com rates every Land Cruiser to tow up to 6,000 lb. Towing, like off-road driving, will lower your real-world mileage.

How far can a Land Cruiser go on a tank?

Multiplied by the 23 mpg combined rating, toyota.com's 17.9-gallon tank gives a rough range of about 412 miles (17.9 gallons x 23 mpg).

That is our arithmetic from the published ratings, not a range figure from Toyota or the EPA. Towing, roof loads, speed, terrain and temperature all change real-world range.

Why your Land Cruiser's MPG drops in winter

Fueleconomy.gov says conventional gasoline vehicles can expect a 10% to 20% fuel economy loss in city driving and 15% to 33% on short trips in cold weather, and hybrids typically 20% to 40% in city driving and 25% to 45% on short trips. Its reasons:

From fueleconomy.gov's Fuel Economy in Cold Weather page, read November 3, 2026.

Getting closer to the rated numbers

Fueleconomy.gov's cold-weather advice: park in a warmer place such as a garage, combine trips so you drive less often with a cold engine, keep warm-up idling short (it notes most manufacturers recommend driving off gently after about 30 seconds), use seat warmers and defrosters only as needed, check tire pressure regularly, use the oil your manufacturer recommends for cold weather, and remove roof racks when you are not using them.

Year-round, it says aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) can lower gas mileage by roughly 15% to 30% at highway speeds and 10% to 40% in stop-and-go traffic, that mileage usually decreases rapidly above 50 mph, and that an extra 100 pounds in a vehicle could reduce mpg by about 1%.
