2013 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2013 Range Rover Sport.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (S6)

The 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is an SUV equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission, returning EPA figures of 12 city, 17 highway, and 14 combined mpg and requiring 8.5 quarts of 5W-20 oil at service intervals. With 59 owner complaints and 7 recalls logged against it, the 2013 model year occupies an upper-middle tier within the Range Rover Sport's broader complaint history spanning 2005 through 2024—below the 2011 peak of 82 complaints but well above the 2021 low of just 10. The fact that the fuel and propulsion system tops the complaint chart signals that powertrain-related concerns are a defining issue for this generation, meaning anyone researching this model year should pay particular attention to those systems when assessing long-term ownership risk.

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 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Sport sits at the apex of escalating federal scrutiny for its generation, capping off a trajectory that saw Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) surge from just 41 in 2005 to an alarming 1,315 in 2013. While owner complaints peaked at 82 in 2011 before dropping to 50 in 2012 and rising again to 59 for the 2013 model, the target year ties the generation's high for recalls at 7 and sets a record for investigations with 4. For the 2013 model specifically, complaint areas are concentrated in the Fuel/Propulsion System (6), Fuel System, Gasoline (5), and Structure (5), with 9 crash complaints and 1 fire complaint reported, though the data does not specify the root causes. This unprecedented spike in TSBs and investigations at the very end of the model's lifecycle implies the 2013 iteration was fraught with unresolved complexities requiring extensive manufacturer correction. Consequently, given its position at the peak of the generation's regulatory issues and concentrated fuel-related complaints, the 2013 Range Rover Sport is a risky buy and should be avoided in favor of the notably less problematic subsequent generation.
