2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2023 Range Rover Sport.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport utilizes an S8 automatic transmission to deliver an EPA-rated 16 city, 21 highway, and 18 combined mpg. Current reliability data shows 21 owner complaints predominantly targeting the electrical system, alongside six separate recalls. When contextualized within the model's 2005-2024 history, this complaint volume sits much closer to the all-time low of 10 set in 2021 than the problematic peak of 82 in 2011, yet the significant recall count indicates this generation still presents meaningful dependability risks rather than a settled track record for researchers to rely on.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 16,000 mi; spark plugs every 32,000 mi; coolant at 160,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 160,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Within the available 2020–2024 federal record, the 2023 Range Rover Sport registers 21 complaints, a local increase from 14 in 2022 and 13 in 2024, yet its six recalls match 2024 for the lowest in this span and investigations fell to zero. Technical service bulletins rose markedly to 513 in 2023 from 331 the prior year, indicating a significant uptick in factory-guided service activity. The top complaint categories involve the electrical system and engine, though the federal data does not specify underlying root causes. Given that recalls and investigations are down relative to adjacent years while complaints and TSBs are elevated, 2023 occupies a mixed position in the generation’s arc. Provided a buyer verifies that applicable service bulletins have been addressed, 2023 represents a reasonable used purchase with fewer active safety actions than 2020–2022.
