Fuel economy by year
| Year | Combined | Annual fuel | Versions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | 16-24 MPG | $3,300-$5,000 | 10 |
| 2017 | 16-24 MPG | $3,300-$5,000 | 9 |

How it compares
Against the average standard sport utility vehicle 4wd in this dataset (about 23 MPG), the Range Rover sits roughly 1 MPG below that mark on average, making it a thirstier-than-average choice for its class.
Five-year fuel cost
Fuelling a Range Rover for five years at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis costs roughly $16,000 to $26,500, averaging about $21,250 across the versions here. That is the energy bill alone — it excludes insurance, maintenance and depreciation, which for most owners together exceed what goes into the tank.
The range within the range
Economy across the Range Rover varies by about 13 MPG between its most and least frugal versions, which run on diesel and gasoline and hybrid and plug-in hybrid. Engine size, turbocharging, drivetrain and even wheel size explain most of that gap, so when you shop a used Range Rover check which version you are looking at before comparing its running cost to another car.
How it changed over time
Between 2016 and 2020 the Range Rover's average combined economy slipped from about 20 to 20 MPG. Redesigns, new engines and added hybrid or electric versions are usually what move the number, so the year you choose can matter as much as the model.
Best year for fuel economy
The 2018 Range Rover has the strongest average combined economy in this database at about 21 MPG, while the 2020 is the lowest at about 20 MPG. If running cost is your priority, that is the year to target on the used market; later years may add equipment or safety features instead.
