The Land Cruiser consumes more fuel. According to the comprehensive fuel consumption data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Patrol has a fuel consumption of 11.9L/100km, while the Land Cruiser consumes 13.3L/100km. Below is some relevant information about the Patrol and the Land Cruiser: 1. Body dimensions: The Patrol measures 5165mm in length, 1995mm in width, and 1955mm in height. The Land Cruiser measures 5095mm in length, 1975mm in width, and 1930mm in height. 2. Powertrain: The Patrol is equipped with a 4.0L naturally aspirated VQ40 V6 engine paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. The Land Cruiser is equipped with a 4.0L naturally aspirated 1GR V6 engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

As a seasoned off-road driver with years of experience, I find that the Land Cruiser tends to be more fuel-consuming. Both are large SUVs with inherently high fuel consumption, but the Land Cruiser averages around 14-16 liters per 100 km in urban driving, while the Patrol usually stays between 12-15 liters. The difference isn’t huge, but the Land Cruiser’s slightly heavier weight and engine displacement design make it thirstier on highways or off-road. I’ve driven a friend’s Land Cruiser a few times, and the refueling frequency was noticeably higher; the Patrol, though still a gas-guzzler, has better engine optimization. When choosing a vehicle, don’t just focus on fuel economy—consider your daily needs. If you frequently tackle mountain roads, the Land Cruiser offers stronger performance but higher consumption; for city commuting, the Patrol is more economical. Also, vehicle condition matters—older models or underinflated tires can drastically increase fuel usage, so regular can save you money.

Having repaired SUVs for a decade, I've often noticed that the Land Cruiser tends to have higher fuel consumption. Both models are fuel-thirsty, but the Land Cruiser averages 15-18L/100km, while the Patrol is around 14-16L. The key issues are engine aging and load problems. Bad driving habits like sudden acceleration can cause the Land Cruiser's instantaneous fuel consumption to skyrocket. Actual owner feedback indicates the Land Cruiser is slightly more costly to run. Solutions include regular of spark plugs, tire pressure checks, and using cruise control in urban areas. In the long run, higher fuel consumption leads to increased maintenance costs, making lightweight models a more economical choice.
