January 26th, 2021 by

2021 Land Rover Defender

2021 Land Rover Defender fuel economy tops out at 18 mpg in the city with the standard engine. If you upgrade with the larger mild-hybrid powertrain, you’ll be able to reach up to 22 mpg on the highway. While different models offer advantages in different areas, we’re sure you’ll find that the Land Rover Defender mpg figures are more than adequate for your wildest adventures.

Breaking Down the Land Rover Defender Gas Mileage

The 2021 Land Rover Defender gas mileage varies depending on which of its powertrain options you select, and–true to Land Rover Defender history–four-wheel drive is always standard. Engine availability depends on your chosen trim level and body style, so browse the list below to find the Land Rover Defender mpg figures that work for you.

Defender 90 Gas Mileage

The 2.0-liter gas-powered I4 and the 3.0-liter I6 with mild-hybrid tuning both have what it takes to power your Jersey City and Fort Lee adventures:

  • Defender 90 with P300 – 18 mpg city / 21 mpg highway / 19 mpg combined
  • Defender 90 S with P300 – 18 mpg city / 21 mpg highway / 19 mpg combined
  • Defender 90 X-Dynamic with P400 MHEV – 17 mpg city / 22 mpg highway / 19 mpg combined
  • Defender 90 First Edition with P400 MHEV – 17 mpg city / 22 mpg highway / 19 mpg combined
  • Defender 90 X with P400 MHEV – 17 mpg city / 22 mpg highway / 19 mpg combined

Defender 110 Gas Mileage

While the P300 engine isn’t quite as efficient when equipped on the four-door Defender 110, the difference between the two is minimal. What’s more, the P400 is just as economical here as it is on the model above:

  • Defender 110 with P300 – 17 mpg city / 20 mpg highway / 18 mpg combined
  • Defender 110 S with P300 – 17 mpg city / 20 mpg highway / 18 mpg combined
  • Defender 110 SE with P400 – 17 mpg city / 22 mpg highway / 19 mpg combined
  • Defender 110 X-Dynamic SE with P400 – 17 mpg city / 22 mpg highway / 19 mpg combined
  • Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE with P400 – 17 mpg city / 22 mpg highway / 19 mpg combined
  • Defender 110 X with P400 – 17 mpg city / 22 mpg highway / 19 mpg combined

If you spend a lot of time on city streets, a Defender 90 equipped with the P300 engine is the most efficient choice. If you have a highway commute or plan to do a lot of long-distance travel, it’s worth it to upgrade with the mild-hybrid P400. You’ll be rewarded with more horsepower and torque, too:

  • 2.0L P300 I4 Gas Engine – 296 hp, 295 lb-ft of torque
  • 3.0L P400 I6 Gas + MHEV – 395 hp, 406 lb-ft of torque

Your engine isn’t the only factor that you need to consider when choosing a model. Take a closer look at the 2021 Land Rover Defender price list to get a better sense of what each model is offering.
