How many miles per gallon does a 2018 Toyota Hilux get?
The 2018 Toyota Hilux does not have a single universal mpg figure. Diesel versions typically achieve the mid-30s miles per gallon (US), while petrol versions usually fall in the low-to-mid 20s. Actual numbers depend on the engine, drivetrain (2WD vs 4WD), transmission, payload, and the market or testing cycle used for official ratings, since the Hilux was not sold in the United States in 2018.
Fuel economy by engine and drivetrain
The following figures reflect common, market-informed estimates for 2018 Hilux configurations. They show the range you might expect across typical setups, using combined (city/highway) results. Exact figures for a given vehicle can vary by test cycle and regional tuning.
Diesel engines
Note: Diesel variants generally deliver stronger fuel economy than petrol, with 4x2 layouts typically edging ahead of 4x4.
- 2.4 D-4D, 4x2: roughly 7.0–7.5 L/100 km (about 33–34 mpg US).
- 2.4 D-4D, 4x4: roughly 7.5–8.0 L/100 km (about 29–32 mpg US).
- 2.8 D-4D, 4x2: roughly 6.5–7.5 L/100 km (about 31–36 mpg US).
- 2.8 D-4D, 4x4: roughly 7.0–7.8 L/100 km (about 30–33 mpg US).
These figures are representative of European and several Asia-Pacific market reports from that model year; regional calibrations and testing cycles (WLTP vs. older cycles) can shift official numbers slightly.
Petrol engine
Gasoline versions tend to be less efficient than diesels, particularly under load or in rough terrain.
- 2.7 L petrol, 4x2: roughly 9.5–10.5 L/100 km (about 22–25 mpg US).
- 2.7 L petrol, 4x4: roughly 10.0–11.5 L/100 km (about 20–23 mpg US).
Real-world mileage can vary widely based on payload, driving style, terrain, and whether the vehicle is used for towing or heavy-duty work.
Market differences and test cycles
Because the Hilux is sold worldwide, official ratings come from different testing regimes. Europe commonly uses WLTP (or its predecessor), while other regions have used their own cycles. The US market did not offer the 2018 Hilux, so US EPA numbers are not applicable for that model year. When evaluating fuel economy, compare the exact engine, drive type (2WD vs 4WD), and the test cycle cited in the official rating for your market.
Summary
In summary, a 2018 Toyota Hilux’s fuel economy varies by configuration. Diesel versions typically lie in the mid-30s mpg US, with 4x4 variants slightly lower than 4x2. Petrol versions generally sit in the low- to mid-20s mpg US. For anyone shopping across markets, the most reliable figure will come from the specific model, engine, and drivetrain in your region, along with the applicable test cycle.
