Our 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Is a Hybrid, but It Doesn’t Act Like One
Key takeaways
- You wouldn’t know it by the fuel economy or even by looking at it, but yes, it’s a hybrid.
- In case you didn’t know, all new Toyota Land Cruisers are hybrids.
- We’ve had our yearlong review 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser a full year now, and in that time we’ve put 26,829 miles on it.
Why this matters: an automotive development that could shape industry direction or buying decisions.
You wouldn’t know it by the fuel economy or even by looking at it, but yes, it’s a hybrid.
In case you didn’t know, all new Toyota Land Cruisers are hybrids. It’s cool if you didn’t know, though, because it seems like Toyota tried really hard to downplay it, and the fuel economy of our long-term Land Cruiser certainly doesn’t scream “save money on gas,” either.
We’ve had our yearlong review 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser a full year now, and in that time we’ve put 26,829 miles on it. We’re a long way past the engine break-in period, and we have more than enough data to say, confidently, that the fuel economy really isn’t great. After nearly 27,000 miles of driving, we’re averaging 18.4 mpg despite EPA ratings of 22/25/23 mpg city/highway/combined.
