How this compares
At 23 MPG combined, the 2023 Land Rover Range Rover Velar ranks 2nd of 5 small SUVs (4WD) EPA rated for 2023 — 1 MPG better than the 22 MPG median for that group.
That places it a little above the middle of its class. Fuel cost is close enough to its rivals that other running costs will probably matter more.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $3,300, $150 less than the $3,450 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $16,500, a $750 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 393 grams per mile — about 5.9 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
