Fuel economy data from fueleconomy.gov (EPA / U.S. Dept. of Energy). Annual cost based on 15,000 mi/yr at 55% city driving and current fuel prices. MPG is U.S. gallons; L/100km converted. Ranges reflect the 2 tested variants for this model year.
For the 2010 Range Rover Sport, the most commonly reported issues fall into two areas: body structure and fuel system. On the structure side, owners frequently describe trim, body panels, and exterior components, including roof and tailgate areas, separating, cracking, or detaching while driving, sometimes at highway speeds. The spoiler and rear trim pieces come up repeatedly. Fuel system complaints center on gasoline odors inside and outside the cabin with no warning light present, which owners notice while the vehicle is parked or idling. A smaller cluster of complaints describes drivetrain and propulsion concerns, including grinding, shuddering, and sudden loss of power while underway. The fuel odor reports are notable for the absence of any dashboard warning, meaning owners typically first detect the problem by smell rather than instrumentation.

Total Complaints
By System
The 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a fuel tank outlet flange that can crack and leak fuel, raising the risk of a fire if the fuel contacts an ignition source.
The remaining two recalls both concern the same issue: the upper cover on the rear spoiler can detach from the vehicle while driving and become a road hazard for other vehicles and pedestrians nearby. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why separate recall campaigns address it.
