Overview

2022 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

The 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Sport blends on-road refinement with significant off-road prowess, wrapped in a luxurious package. For the used car buyer, this means a vehicle with considerable appeal but also a complex mechanical and electrical system. Its 5.0-liter V8 engine, paired with an 8-speed automatic and 4-wheel drive, delivers robust performance. However, a high number of recalls, particularly concerning safety systems like seat belts and critical engine components, necessitates a thorough inspection before purchase. Fuel economy is typical for its class, with a combined 19 MPG.

Critical Failure Risk

Potential blockage in the cam carrier oil channels can lead to oil leaks. This is a critical safety risk that could lead to engine damage or fire. Owners should ensure recall 23V044000 is addressed.

Early detection can help you avoid a $1,500-$3,000 repair.
