According to Toyota, the 2024 Land Cruiser will get 23 mpg on average, according to the EPA. All three trim levels come with the same 2.4-liter turbo-four hybrid engine, which gets 22 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. The V-8 Land Cruiser from the last generation got 14 miles per gallon on the highway. When it was first released last October, Toyota thought that the new 2024 Land Cruiser, a hybrid SUV, would get 27 mpg on the highway. That wasn’t entirely true; the car company now says the official EPA combined rate is 23 mpg, along with 22 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. The i-Force Max hybrid system gives all Land Cruisers a turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-four engine and basic all-wheel drive. It’s the same in all three trim levels: the 1958, the Land Cruiser, and the First Edition. This engine makes 465 pound-feet of torque and 326 horsepower. It’s no news that the new Land Cruiser’s four-cylinder hybrid engine uses a lot less gas than the 5.7-liter V-8 it had before. It was the last year that the 200-series Land Cruiser would be sold in the United States. The 2021 model got a terrible 14 mpg combined and a pitiful 17 mpg on the highway. We were able to get the same number in our real 75 mph highway fuel economy test of a previous-generation Land Cruiser. We still need to put our test equipment on the new Land Cruiser, but we will soon see how well it does in this same test.
