Lot 12727: 2019 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Dynamic

The 2019 Range Rover Sport has a better-than-average reliability record compared to other Range Rover Sports—only 16 problems reported versus an average of 37 across all model years. But like any luxury SUV with complex technology, there are a few areas to keep an eye on:

Most Common Problem Areas

1. Engine & Cooling (6 reported problems)

• Coolant leaks from water pumps, hoses, and crossover pipes—especially on the 3.0L supercharged V6
• Excessive cooling fan noise with eventual degradation of cooling performance (covered by TSB SSM74856)
• Timing chain wear on V6 engines (rattling noise on startup)

2. Electrical System (5 reported problems)

• Infotainment screen freezing or becoming unresponsive
• Parasitic battery drain leading to unexpected dead batteries
• Instrument cluster displaying “battery low” warnings or no-start conditions

3. Air Suspension

• Air spring leaks causing the vehicle to sag on one corner ($600–$1,500 per corner to fix)
• Compressor failure resulting in inability to raise ride height ($700–$1,300)

4. Transmission

• Fluid leaks from the ZF 8-speed automatic
• Mechatronic unit failures causing erratic shifting ($1,200–$2,500)

5. Other Notable Issues

• Pop-out door handles failing to extend/retract
• HVAC blower motor failures

Official Recalls

The 2019 has 5 NHTSA recalls, including one for lighting control module software that may leave high beams on unknowingly.

The Good News: With 61,653 miles, this particular vehicle appears well-maintained! Most issues are manageable if caught early. I’d definitely have a Land Rover specialist inspect the cooling system and air suspension before purchase.

Can I help you find a pre-purchase inspection resource, or would you like to see similar Range Rover Sports available on Classic.com?
