• Do Range Rovers have a lot of problems?

With that said, some of the reported problems that crop up from time to time impacting the Range Rover Sport include engine leaks, gremlins with the electrics, plus some issues with the air conditioning system.

• Are Range Rovers expensive to maintain?

  As a premium car, maintenance and repair costs for Range Rovers are typically quite high.
