Fatal crashes in the US
From 2020 to 2023, 95 Range Rover Sport vehicles were involved in crashes on US public roads in which someone died, and 26 people died inside them. These are counts, not crash rates: a model with more cars on the road shows up more often, and people killed outside the vehicle are not counted here.

Real-world fuel consumption
9,498 Land Rover Range Rover Sport cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Diesel hybrid versions average 9.8 l/100 km on the road, against 7.7 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 27% more. Plug-in hybrids use 8.8 l/100 km against 1.4 l/100 km on paper, with 20% of their distance covered with the engine off.
