This question came up as the first result when I googled for it.

There is a class - GradleVersion that will do the job too. So

GradleVersion.current();

will return the same as

getProject().getGradle().getGradleVersion()

It just turned out that one can get it using

getProject().getGradle().getGradleVersion()

Javadoc and DSL link for the core Gradle type that contains the version. As per the javadoc, getVersion will never return null.

or

Plugin.class.getPackage().getImplementationVersion()

It is simple groovy / java class based and depends on the classloader and the provided manifest.
