16 MPG combined. No one buys a 2019 Land Rover Range Rover SV Coupe for fuel efficiency. This limited-production, two-door Range Rover is about exclusivity, presence, and British swagger. It’s a statement piece, a rolling sculpture, and a sign of excess, and the fuel bill is part of the cost. The target buyer likely owns several other vehicles, something more economical for daily commuting.

City and highway performance

The EPA estimates show what to expect from the SV Coupe’s 5.0L supercharged V8. Expect 14 MPG in the city, due to stop-and-go driving and the vehicle’s weight. On the highway, it improves to 19 MPG thanks to consistent speeds and less engine demand for acceleration. However, long road trips will involve frequent stops for gas.

Annual fuel cost

Expect an annual fuel bill of around $3,600, according to the EPA. This is based on driving 15,000 miles per year and using national average fuel prices. This is an estimate, and your actual fuel cost may be higher or lower depending on driving habits, location, and fuel prices. Owning an SV Coupe is a financial commitment.

Real-world expectations

Real-world fuel economy may vary from EPA estimates. Aggressive driving, short trips, and heavy loads will negatively impact fuel consumption. Gentle acceleration, consistent highway speed, and proper tire inflation can improve efficiency, but only a little. This is a heavy vehicle with an engine that demands fuel.

How it compares

The SV Coupe’s fuel economy isn’t stellar compared to other high-performance SUVs and luxury coupes. The BMW X6 M, with a similar V8, manages 16 MPG combined, with 13 MPG city and 18 MPG highway. The Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupe delivers 15 MPG combined. A Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupe gets 17 MPG combined. These differences add up over time. However, SV Coupe buyers aren’t cross-shopping mainstream models. Their focus is on exclusivity and they are prepared to pay for gas. These alternatives have four doors and lack the prestige of this Range Rover.

Tips to maximize efficiency

While fuel efficiency might not be a concern for SV Coupe owners, you can minimize fuel consumption. Avoid unnecessary idling, which wastes fuel. The supercharged V8 is efficient at steady speeds, so use cruise control on the highway.

Regular maintenance is important for fuel economy. Ensure that your tires are inflated and that your engine is tuned according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. A maintained engine will run more efficiently and burn less fuel.

Consider your driving style. Smooth acceleration and braking can improve fuel economy. Avoid aggressive driving habits, such as sudden acceleration and hard braking, which waste fuel.

Reduce the load. Carrying weight reduces fuel efficiency. Remove items that you don’t need, such as golf clubs or tools, to reduce the load on the engine.
