The 2022 Land Rover New Range Rover P360 MHEV 3.0L 6-cyl achieves 21 MPG combined. It’s not the most fuel-efficient vehicle, but Range Rover owners typically prioritize its commanding presence, luxurious features, and off-road capability over fuel savings. The hybrid system adds a small improvement to the fuel economy, and owners find it to be a worthwhile addition considering the vehicle’s capabilities and status.

City and highway performance

The EPA estimates for the 2022 Range Rover P360 are 18 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway. This difference shows how the mild-hybrid system works in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor helps the gasoline engine. Highway performance is good for a vehicle of this size and weight, but expect that number to decrease if you frequently drive at high speeds or tow. The eight-speed automatic transmission makes good use of the engine’s power, keeping it in the most efficient range, but a large, powerful SUV needs a certain amount of fuel to operate.

Annual fuel cost

The EPA estimates the annual fuel cost for the 2022 Land Rover New Range Rover P360 MHEV at $2,750. This is based on driving 15,000 miles per year and using national average fuel prices. Your actual fuel cost will change depending on your driving habits, the type of fuel you use, and local fuel prices. For instance, someone who mainly drives in the city and accelerates quickly will probably spend more than $2,750, while someone who mostly drives on the highway and drives gently might spend a little less. Keep in mind the premium fuel requirement, which increases the overall cost.

Real-world expectations

The EPA numbers provide a baseline, but real-world fuel economy for the 2022 Range Rover P360 will vary. You can expect to see numbers close to the EPA estimates when driving normally. However, aggressive driving, frequent short trips, and difficult terrain will all reduce fuel efficiency. Towing, which many Range Rover owners do, will also significantly reduce MPG. Off-roading, while a key feature of the Range Rover, is especially hard on fuel economy. The terrain requires a lot of power, and the added rolling resistance uses fuel quickly. Consider all Land fuel economy data for a bigger picture look at the brand’s efficiencies.

How it compares

The 2022 Range Rover P360 MHEV’s fuel economy is average for its class. The BMW X7 xDrive40i, with a similar inline-six engine, also gets 21 MPG combined. The Mercedes-Benz GLS 450, also with a mild-hybrid inline-six, achieves a slightly better 23 MPG combined. The Cadillac Escalade, with its standard 6.2L V8 (and the diesel option), gets a much lower 16 MPG combined. These differences will be more or less important to different buyers. Someone who wants the Range Rover’s unique combination of luxury, capability, and brand image might be willing to accept slightly lower fuel economy than a more efficient vehicle, or perhaps want to see ROVER MPG across all years.

Tips to maximize efficiency

Drive smoothly to get the most out of the mild-hybrid system. Gentle acceleration and braking let the electric motor help the gasoline engine, which lowers fuel consumption. Anticipate traffic flow and avoid sudden stops, which waste energy. Let the kinetic energy do the work, and let the electric motor kick in when possible.

Make sure your tires are properly inflated. Under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance, which decreases fuel economy. Check your tire pressure regularly and inflate them to the recommended pressure listed on the doorjamb. This simple task can noticeably reduce your fuel bill.

Reduce unnecessary weight. Extra cargo in your Range Rover adds to the vehicle’s weight, which reduces fuel efficiency. Remove any items you don’t need, especially heavy objects such as tools or sports equipment. A lighter vehicle requires less energy to move.

Use cruise control on the highway. Cruise control helps keep a consistent speed, which improves fuel economy. Avoid frequent acceleration and deceleration, which waste fuel. Use cruise control on flat, open roads for the best efficiency.

Avoid idling for long periods. Idling uses fuel without moving the vehicle. If you’re going to be stopped for more than a minute or two, turn off the engine. This is especially important in cities, where idling can cause air pollution. The Range Rover’s auto start/stop system helps with this, but be aware of it, especially when off-roading.
