Reliability Score

7.5 / 10

Reliability score

About as many owner complaints as similar midsize SUVs

The class average is 7.0. Based on complaints owners filed with NHTSA about the engine, transmission or drivetrain.

Complaints of oil consumption, fuel in the oil or overheating run higher than this generation's overall count, so they set the score.

Owners filed 84 powertrain complaints. A typical midsize SUV fleet of this size and age would have drawn about 234.

Scores this low have often eased: the three years after looked about 0.8 points better in the typical case.

What kind of battery complaint?

Among the 9 battery-related complaints, here's the type mix. These percentages describe what the complaints are about — not how reliable the vehicle is overall.

High-Voltage Battery 3 (33%)

Propulsion battery defects, capacity loss, BMS faults, replacement claims.

Electric Propulsion 3 (33%)

Loss of power, drive unit, inverter, traction motor, DC-DC converter.

Thermal Events 2 (22%)

Battery fires, smoke, thermal runaway. Includes any complaint with fire reported.

12V Auxiliary Battery 2 (22%)

Low-voltage battery deaths, common on EVs and hybrids that use a 12V for accessories.

Hybrid Drivetrain 1 (11%)

26V248000 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:DC/DC CONVERTER

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Land Rover Range Rover Velar and Land Rover Discovery, 2020-2023 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, 2019-2024 Land Rover Range Rover Sport, 2020-2024 Land Rover Range Rover, 2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport, 2020-2024 Land Rover Defender, 2021-2024 Jaguar F-Pace, and 2021-2022 Jaguar E-Pace mild-hybrid electric vehicles (MHEVs). Insufficient electrical load balancing during times of high demand can lead to a current overload condition and malfunction of the DCDC converter. A failure of the DC-DC converter will result in a loss of 12-Volt system charging and can lead to complete loss of drive power and exterior lighting.

Consequence: A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.

26V599000 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:DC/DC CONVERTER

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2019-2024 Land Rover Range Rover Sport, 2020-2024 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Range Rover, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Land Rover Defender, 2021-2024 Land Rover Range Rover Velar, Jaguar E-Pace, F-Pace, and Land Rover Discovery vehicles. The DC-DC converter may malfunction due to an electrical overload that can occur during high power demand. Additionally, a software error can cause the DC-DC converter to stop functioning at vehicle start-up under certain circumstances. Failure of the DC-DC converter will result in the loss of 12-Volt system charging and can lead to complete loss of drive power and exterior lighting.

Consequence: A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
