Land Rover Discovery & Discovery Sport Fuel Consumption (MPG & km/L)

Land Rover Discovery MPG

This big, heavy, and strong SUV doesn't come in any particularly cost-effective models. The D250 is officially the fuel-efficient vehicle on the WLTP score. The test indicates that it will achieve 33.5–33.8 mpg, and we believe that those numbers are almost reachable, though in practice, it's likely closer to 31–32 mpg. Although the official number for the more potent D300 is comparable, we hardly ever saw it reach 30 mpg in our testing. Of course, you can anticipate getting closer to 25–27 mpg if you don't drive on the highways.

Although the P360's sample figures indicate that it can achieve 26.5 mpg, we believe that you will find it difficult to achieve much more than 25 mpg.Having trouble deciding between the Discovery Sport and the Land Rover Discovery? Even if both of these models have identical names and are equally amazing, you should consider their distinctions in order to pick the best choice.

Land Rover Discovery Sport MPG

According to Land Rover, the mild-hybrid technology can save up to 7% on fuel consumption. The main reason for this is that when the car slows down to 10 mph, the stop-start mechanism kicks in. Even yet, the Land Rover Discovery Sport's operating expenses aren't very noteworthy.

The plug-in hybrid is, on paper, the most cost-effective model. The P300e's official WLTP rating is 143.1 mpg, although the P270e successor increases it to 178.6 mpg. These types of numbers are only possible if you charge and use the battery to its maximum capacity on every trip, as is to be expected from a PHEV.

During our 3163 miles with the P300e, we averaged 53.8 mpg, even with routine charging. Economy fell to the low 30s due to a dead battery. This isn't very impressive for a modern plug-in hybrid; in our experience, even the 3.0-liter straight-six engine of a BMW X5 50e outperforms this number.

Land Rover Fuel Consumption

With an EV-only range of 34 miles for the P300e and 36.7 for the P270e, which Land Rover claims would cover the majority of people's daily commute, it is beginning to lag behind other PHEV competitors. Despite using several dual carriageways, our long-term P300e could only go about 30 miles between charges.

Even though they're still not great, the diesels offer more affordable operating costs; anticipate to get about 40 mpg, which is a considerable improvement over the sub-30 mpg that the petrol models could get. But these days, we would expect more.

Land Rover Discovery Fuel Efficiency Figures

The fuel consumption of the Land Rover Discovery is shown below in both MPG (Miles Per Gallon) and km/L (Kilometers Per Litre). Both of these figures show you how far that particular Land Rover Discovery variant can travel for every gallon (4.55 litres) and every litre (1000ml) of fuel. The higher the MPG or km/L value, the more economical the car is and the cheaper it will be to run. As well as providing the combined figures, we also give you the fuel consumption you can expect from a Land Rover Discovery in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.

How To Calculate Real Fuel Consumption Of Your Land Rover Discovery

The 'real fuel consumption' shows you the amount of fuel your Land Rover Discovery is consuming to travel a fixed distance. This is normally shown as L/100km. This figure shows you the amount of fuel consumed in litres for every 100kms travelled. This is the most commonly used figure for showing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. The formula to calculate it is:

(Litres of fuel used X 100) / Kilometers travelled = L/km.
