2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Discovery Sport.

Transmission Automatic (S9)

The 2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport is a compact SUV powered by a gas engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, achieving EPA-estimated fuel economy of 19 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined while requiring 0W-20 or 0W-30 viscosity oil for service. Among model years spanning 2019 through 2024, the 2022 variant recorded the lowest owner complaint count of the entire period with just three total complaints, with powertrain issues cited as the primary concern alongside a single recall affecting the model. This notably improved reliability profile compared to the 20 complaints logged for the 2019 model year positions the 2022 as a comparatively refined iteration within the Discovery Sport's recent history, suggesting enhanced build quality or resolved prior-year issues for researchers evaluating ownership experience data.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 21,000 mi; spark plugs every 63,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2022 Discovery Sport sits at the nadir of the generation's complaint curve with just three total complaints — matching 2023 for the lowest count and down sharply from 20 in 2019 — while its single recall aligns with 2021 and improves on the four issued for 2020. Technical service bulletins have declined steadily since peaking at 360 in 2020, falling to 271 for 2022 and continuing downward through 2024, suggesting the manufacturer has resolved many early-production service items. The 2022 complaint profile is diffuse, with one report each in Power Train, Unknown Or Other, and a combined Electrical System/Lane Departure/Back Over Prevention category, and the data records zero crash or fire complaints for the year. Recall activity ticked up again in 2023 and 2024 to two per year, but those later campaigns may address issues identified after the 2022 build window. Taken together, the 2022 model year represents a low-complaint, moderate-recall, declining-TSB point in the generation's arc. For a buyer prioritizing a quieter federal record, the 2022 is a good year to buy.
