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 3 tested variants for this model year.
The dominant pattern in 2018 Range Rover complaints centers on the engine, specifically sudden coolant loss and overheating. Multiple owners describe receiving an abrupt "engine overheating, low coolant" warning while driving, then pulling over to find coolant pouring from the front of the engine with no prior signs of a leak. In several of these cases, a coolant pipe assembly was found to have split at its seam. A related report describes cracked coolant crossover pipes leading to repeated overheating and towing. The powertrain and electrical system each account for a handful of complaints, though those reports don't cluster around a single clear symptom the way the coolant pipe failures do. The coolant pipe failure pattern stands out because it appears suddenly, often while the vehicle is moving, and has consistently required professional repair.

By System
The 2018 Land Rover Range Rover has 6 recalls, the most serious being a failure of the automatic emergency braking system to activate when a collision is imminent, with no warning to the driver that the system is not working.
Two recalls cover rear visibility: water can get into the rearview camera on vehicles equipped with the surround camera system, causing the image to disappear or appear distorted when reversing. There is also a lighting concern shared across two filings: when the automatic high beam system switches on by itself, the instrument cluster indicator fails to illuminate, so the driver has no way of knowing high beams are active and may inadvertently create glare for oncoming drivers.
