This page covers 5 recalls, 16 owner complaints and EPA fuel economy for the 2019 Land Rover Range Rover.
18–19 mpg combined
12.4–13.1 L/100km

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.
Complaints for the 2019 Range Rover are spread thin across systems, but a few recurring themes stand out. Structure-related reports center on corrosion of the underbody fuel tank shield and its mounting hardware, with owners describing perforations and deterioration severe enough to compromise how the tank is secured. Powertrain complaints include a high-pressure fuel pump failure that caused the engine to shut off while driving, leaving the vehicle without power in traffic. A brake-related report describes the vehicle continuing to roll forward at low speed despite pedal input, resulting in a low-speed collision in which the airbags did not deploy, that pairing of brake behavior and airbag non-deployment accounts for two of the complaint categories here. One owner also reports significant water intrusion through a rear window during rain. With only 16 total complaints on file, no single system dominates, and several issues appear in just one or two reports.

By System
The 2019 Land Rover Range Rover has 5 recalls, the most serious involving the engine crankshaft pulley bolt, which can crack and fail, causing sudden engine failure and the risk of losing control or debris separating from the engine.
Recall 1 and Recall 3 describe the same crankshaft pulley bolt defect and are treated as one issue above. On the cooling side, a recall affects only plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models: the water pump pulley drive belt can deteriorate or come loose, causing the engine to overheat and rupture a coolant pipe, spilling coolant onto the turbocharger heat shield in a way that raises the risk of an engine compartment fire. On the visibility side, water can get into the rearview camera and cause the image to disappear or appear distorted while reversing. There is also a software issue where the automatic high beam system silently switches on high beams without showing any indicator in the instrument cluster, leaving drivers unaware that oncoming traffic may be receiving full-beam headlight glare.
