2013 Land Rover Range Rover

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2013 Range Rover.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (S8)

The 2013 Land Rover Range Rover is an SUV fitted with an automatic S8 transmission and EPA-rated at 13/19/15 mpg, with an engine oil capacity of 8.5 quarts using 5W-20 viscosity. Within the model’s tracked complaint history spanning 1990 to 2026, the 2013 model year logged 54 owner complaints—considerably fewer than the 2003 peak of 127 yet far more than the 1992 low of 6—and drew 7 recalls with its top complaint area centered on the Fuel/Propulsion System. That moderate complaint volume places the 2013 model in the middle of the Range Rover’s long-term reliability spectrum, meaning researchers should regard it as a fairly typical year rather than an outlier in the model’s recorded history.

Reliability & federal safety record

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

Based on the federal record, the 2013 model year represents a significant outlier in the vehicle's history, marking the highest volume of Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) and investigations across all listed years. While the 54 complaints are moderate compared to the 127 seen in 2003, the 1,315 TSBs drastically exceed the 463 recorded for 2012 and the 389 for 2011, indicating a sharp escalation in recognized service issues. Regulatory scrutiny also peaked in 2013 with 4 investigations, surpassing the 0 to 2 investigations typical of other years, alongside 7 recalls and 9 crash-related complaints. Top complaint categories include the Fuel/Propulsion System and Structure, though the data does not specify the root cause for these concerns. This concentration of administrative and service activity suggests the 2013 model carries a heavier burden of documented faults than the preceding 2010-2012 generation or later 2019-2024 models. Due to the unprecedented TSB count and peak investigation levels relative to the surrounding timeline, this is not a recommended model year to buy.
