How this compares
At 19 MPG combined, the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport ranks 3rd of 5 standard SUVs (4WD) EPA rated for 2018 — exactly the 19 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 $4,000, within $0 of the $4,000 typical for the class — roughly $20,000 over five years.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 468 grams per mile — about 7 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
Consumer complaints
