How this compares
At 22 MPG combined, the 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport ranks 4th of 6 small SUVs (4WD) EPA rated for 2018 — 1.5 MPG short of the 23.5 MPG median for that group.
That places it in the lower third of its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $3,450, $200 more than the $3,250 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $17,250, a $1,000 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 395 grams per mile — about 5.9 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
Consumer complaints
