The 2021 Land Rover Defender mpg figures can reach as high as 18 mpg city and 22 mpg highway.

It’s not an exaggeration when these experts say, “compared to the G-Wagon and Land Cruiser, the Defender is a Prius.” We’ve laid out Land Rover Defender gas mileage for every model in our inventory, so you can find the option that’s right for you.
