Toyota Land Cruiser 200 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 5.7 fuel consumption per 100 km.

Types of engines and fuel consumption

The Land Cruiser 200 SUV appeared on our car market in 2007. At first these were models with a diesel engine. And a couple of years later, Japanese manufacturers released a new model with a gasoline engine.

Diesel engine fuel consumption

According to the factory specifications, the gasoline consumption of the Toyota Land Cruiser (diesel) when driving within the city is 11.2 l/100 km.

, although, judging by driver reviews, the actual gasoline consumption on the Land Cruiser, albeit slightly, exceeds the stated consumption standards.

Land Cruiser fuel consumption on the highway ranges from 8.5 l/100 km. Lower diesel fuel consumption is explained by the absence of traffic jams and traffic here at a more or less constant speed.

In a situation where traffic occurs both within the city and on the highway, fuel consumption on a diesel Land Cruiser fluctuates within 9.5 l/100 km.

Gasoline engine fuel consumption

The Land Cruiser, which appeared on our market in 2009, was already more improved in terms of quality characteristics. The condition of the body has changed (it has become more durable), and some functions have been added to ensure maximum road safety. The technical parameters have changed - the engine volume has decreased slightly to 4.4 liters.

Gasoline costs for the Land Cruiser 200 per 100 km of run depend, naturally, on the terrain over which the vehicle is driven.

So, the average gasoline consumption for a Toyota Land Cruiser per 100 km, if you are driving within a city highway, will be 12 liters, with a mixed type of driving - 14.5 liters, and if you are outside the city, then gasoline consumption will be minimal and will be 11.7 liters per 100 km.

But the above fuel consumption standards for the Land Cruiser are those declared by the manufacturers, and, unlike the standards applied to diesel engines, fuel consumption for a gasoline engine does not correspond to those specified in the vehicle’s technical passport.

So, we can conclude:

• A Land Cruiser with a diesel engine is more economical;
• Land Cruiser has lower fuel consumption on country roads.

Diesel engine

The V8 diesel engine is a powerful turbo engine that lasts quite a long time. During operation, it turned out that the engine has a weak point - the water pump. Replacement is required at 50 thousand km.

High oil consumption is observed in models produced before 2009. Consumption of the Land Cruiser 200 on diesel is 10 liters per 100 km.

The engine requires special care and high-quality fuel. The automatic system indicates when the fuel pump is dirty and requires replacement. The element can simply be cleaned, then the sensor will perceive it as new.

The engine is considered reliable. Doesn't cause any problems and is durable.

Advantages and disadvantages of cars

The main advantages of an SUV are:

• a Land Cruiser with a 4.5-liter diesel engine can reach a top speed of 215 km/h;
• Toyota Land Cruiser 200 fuel consumption varies depending on the terrain;
• impressive SUV dimensions;
• advanced security system;
• a comfortable interior that can easily accommodate seven people;
• large volume of luggage compartment when folding the rear seats.

Among the shortcomings, the most important ones can be identified:

• The fuel indicator of both gasoline and diesel engines significantly exceeds the stated standards.

• The car is designed to drive on a dirt road. On a flat surface, when turning at low speed, it skids.
• The upholstery material does not correspond to the pricing policy of the car.
• It's hard to understand electronics. The presence of a large number of sensors and buttons makes this difficult.
• It will be uncomfortable for a tall person to sit in the very rear seats.

• For any color other than white, you must pay an additional amount when purchasing a luxury car.

Reviews from car enthusiasts about both car models differ from each other: some are satisfied with the model running on gasoline, while others prefer the Land Cruiser with an engine running on diesel fuel

Review of Toyota Land Cruiser 200 4.5D V8 (2008)

Hello everybody.

The car was purchased back in the days when there were queues for it. We managed to find a car in stock with a small overpayment. They took the 2008 car in January 2009. The car is not mine personally, but my family's.

Opinions about the car are mixed. It looks serious, but it’s not for everyone, it turned out to be very inflated. The diesel engine is very loud on the outside, the tractor seems to be quieter, the competitors are much quieter on the outside, but inside it is quite quiet, the sound of the engine is annoying for the first 5 minutes after switching on, it keeps high speeds. The car is nimble, the automatic switches smoothly, almost never drives through traffic jams, the average consumption is 13-15 liters. Last winter, in severe frosts above 20, it did not start, this year there have been no problems so far. The suspension is comfortable on standard tires and wheels, but it could be better; the same Prado has air at the rear. We bought 20-radius chrome-plated wheels on Pirelli tires... drove for a week and took them off, gathering dust in the garage, because of them the car became stiffer, which is not surprising and was known in advance, but it began to terribly float along the road, toss around (besides, when there was a puncture, then There is also a problem with repairs; not every tire shop repairs radius 20). It’s beautiful, but the standard ones are both more comfortable and safer. So I don’t recommend installing large disks (as you like). Brakes... how can I tell you... I'm used to driving passenger cars, you must always remember that you weigh 3 tons, and keep a sufficient distance so that you have to hang on the belts to brake properly.

The interior is cheap, the plastic is oak, the leather is simple, the imitation of wood-like plastic is somehow not serious. Why make a bunch of buttons and at the same time a healthy touch screen? (would choose one thing). I figured out the menu quickly, but it’s not easy for my father even without knowledge of English. For that kind of money they could have Russified the menu; Russian navigation is also not included. The interior in front is spacious and wide. The dimensions of the car required getting used to; before that, my father drove a Pajero 3. There are no complaints about the front seats, for me they are huge, I slide and dangle like a herring, but for my father, cat. not skinny at all, just right. There is LITTLE space in the back, with the driver's height being 185 cm. likes to sit at ease, the same passenger in the back sits with his feet resting on the seat (maybe, of course, the driver is sitting very comfortably), the rear seats are complete garbage, thin, as if they were terribly skimped on, the thickness of the seat is 2 times less than the front ones, hard, like a bench, and looks the same. But the trunk is huge; it would be better if they made it smaller and moved the rear seats back. After a month of use, the seats in the 3rd row began to creak throughout the entire cabin on every bump; in the end they were removed as unnecessary and are lying in the garage. The headlights, as you know, are not xenon, which is strange, again saving money, but they shine with dignity. The music sounds, in my opinion, strange, in the bass position 0 it hits your ears in any melody, so that it plays normally you have to set the bass to -2, -3. There are already quite a lot of crickets running around the cabin. All vehicle systems operate without failures throughout the entire operation.

There was one problem at the beginning of operation. In the first month, when changing gears and sharply accelerating, strange sounds and shocks were heard in the bowels of the car; it turned out that there was something wrong with the cardan transmission. As they explained at the service, the first batches of 200x were equipped with cardan shafts from 100 ok and these shafts seemed to not withstand loads, something like that... they replaced it with a new one under warranty, supposedly specifically for the 200x, the problem disappeared. Recently the warning light came on that it was time to change the fuel filter. And so there were no more problems. And maintenance every 5000 km is very frequent and expensive. Petrol Toyotas every 10 thousand km, by modern standards this is negligible, the car is often in service, a waste of time and, accordingly, money. If it weren’t for such frequent maintenance, it remains to be seen whether Toyota would be considered such a reliable car. For our country, this diesel engine was derated to 235 hp, in Europe it produces 288 hp, and the emission class for Russia was reduced (the torque remained the same). Half of the 200x Kruzaks sold in Russia are diesel, and it was in this generation that diesel began to drive even faster than gasoline due to the fact that there is 1 more gear in the gearbox. In the city the car is still clumsy, of course it’s easy to maneuver, they let you through, but that’s not the main thing. Parking will not be a problem, where you can climb onto some curb, where others cannot... and it doesn’t fit into cracks, where others can easily.

Overall the car is good and reliable. I was a little disappointed by the interior, quality, assembly and savings on small things. And it's great. The next car when I change will be German, but that’s a long way off, the Kruzak is eternal)) Everything described above is a personal opinion, no offense to anyone. Good luck to everyone on the roads. The review will be updated periodically.

How to reduce consumption?

As you can see, Toyota Land Cruiser J100 engines consume a lot of fuel. But there are many ways to help reduce resource consumption. Here are just a few of them:

• Increased engine power. It's simple - more fuel is consumed with any acceleration of the car. The start is the most expensive moment of the trip. Therefore, with increasing power, the car will start easier. This can be achieved through chip tuning or purchasing a compressor along with turbines.
• Change your driving style. If you drive aggressively or constantly try to “make” someone at a traffic light, be prepared to incur additional expenses. Those who drive too slowly should also change their driving style. The ideal speed for saving fuel is around 80 km/h. This, of course, is not a call to drive around the city, but a warning.
• Fuel with the best fuel. Overpaying for gasoline can easily be recouped if you buy less of it. In other words, the better the gasoline, the less frequent the refueling.
• Use of ultra-low viscosity oils. There is no need to explain the choice of good oil. Any car enthusiast knows that thanks to the lubricant, engine wear resistance increases and fuel consumption decreases.
• Change spark plugs. Not super efficient, but still a way to reduce fuel consumption.
• Replace dirty filters with new ones. Engine maintenance is the secret to minimal fuel consumption.
• Increase tire pressure. If the main place for driving is the city or the highway, with high tire pressure the car will handle these places more easily.
• Increase the streamlining of the body. Physical laws also apply to a car. And if a trailer is attached to the vehicle or there is luggage on the roof, air resistance will cause the Land Cruiser 100's fuel consumption to increase.
• Speed ​​up engine warm-up. In winter, it is better to insulate the engine so as not to waste extra time warming it up. Nowadays, various companies provide a choice of compact insulation materials instead of blankets.
• Choose tires with a narrow tread. If the season allows, it is better to choose tires with a small tread, and also change to summer tires.
• Set the speed to neutral when stopping. If the car is equipped with an automatic transmission, it is better to use neutral when stopping. The transmission will be disconnected from the engine, which will help save a large amount of fuel.
• Use a cavitator. This device destroys the chains of molecules that make up the fuel, therefore increasing the efficiency of gasoline combustion. The cavitator increases engine efficiency and reliability.
• Use a magnetic saver. The device is designed to increase the polarization of gasoline molecules through exposure to a magnetic field. The amount of exhaust gases is reduced and combustion efficiency is increased.
• Use a power saver. This is a capacitor that is needed to reduce the load on the battery. It equalizes the voltage in the car and guarantees a stable connection with the spark plugs. Because of this, gasoline consumption is reduced.

These operations require a minimum set of skills and tools. However, in order to seriously save money, it is better to consider replacing the gasoline engine with a diesel one. The fuel consumption of the Toyota Land Cruiser 100 vehicle will be less and the fuel will be cheaper. The advantage of a diesel engine is that with additional load (trailer, motor boat, fully loaded trunk and interior), diesel consumption does not increase significantly. However, on gasoline models the increase will be one and a half times or more.

Attention! Switching to a manual transmission is another alternative way to reduce fuel consumption. A manual transmission will help save up to 20% of fuel consumption.

Many car enthusiasts resort to installing gas equipment. The replacement is justified for long trips. Buying such equipment is not a cheap thing, but it does not pay off quickly.

Fuel consumption Land Cruiser 100

It is worth saying that the vehicle has four engine variations:

1. Diesel 4.2 liters with 131 hp. With.
2. Diesel 4.2 liters with 204 hp. With.
3. Petrol 4.5 liters with 224 hp. With.
4. Petrol 4.7 liters with 235 hp. With.

Interesting fact! Each variation, except the first, has an analogue with an automatic gearbox. A car with a manual transmission has less fuel consumption (but only by a couple of liters).
