How this compares

At 16 MPG combined, the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport ranks 4th of 4 standard SUVs (4WD) EPA rated for 2015 — 4.5 MPG short of the 20.5 MPG median for that group.

That places it among the thirstiest vehicles in 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 $4,750, $950 more than the $3,800 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $23,750, a $4,750 difference against a class-median vehicle.

Tailpipe CO₂ is 566 grams per mile — about 8.5 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.

Consumer complaints

No owner complaints filed with NHTSA for this model year.

Nothing on file. Newer model years often have few complaints simply because fewer cars are on the road yet.
