2018 Land Rover Range Rover

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2018 Range Rover.

Body SUV

The 2018 Land Rover Range Rover is an SUV tracked through owner-reported reliability data, accumulating 24 total owner complaints and 4 recalls, with engine issues standing out as the top complaint area. Set against the model's broader 1990–2026 complaint history — a span that peaks at 127 complaints for the 2003 model year and bottoms out at 6 for 1992 — the 2018 model sits well below the historical high and toward the lower-complaint end of the spectrum. That positioning indicates a comparatively calm year for reported problems, even though engine concerns led the category count.

Reliability & federal safety record

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

The federal record shows a steep decline in complaints from 54 in 2013 to 15 in 2019, with recalls falling from seven to three over the same span, while investigations dropped from four to one and TSBs fell from 1,315 to 627. Since 2018 lies between these two years, the complaint and recall trajectory suggests it experienced lower volumes than 2013 but was likely comparable to the 2019 level, although the exact figures for 2018 are not specified in the data. The target‑year summary indicates that the most frequent complaint areas were Engine (5 reports) and Electrical System (4 reports), with two crash‑related and one fire‑related complaints recorded. No root causes are provided for these issues, so the data does not specify why they occurred. Overall, the downward trend in federal complaints and recalls through the late‑2010s supports viewing the 2018 Range Rover as a reasonable year to consider, pending a thorough pre‑purchase inspection and verification of the individual vehicle’s service history.
