Land Rover made two introductions at the New York International Auto Show: The 2016 Range Rover Sport HST and the ultra-exclusive Range Rover SVAutobiography.
What Is It?
The 2016 Range Rover Sport HST is a full-size luxury SUV, but instead of the titanic 550hp V8 engine, it features a Jaguar/Land Rover’s popular 3.0-liter V6 for a more sedate 340hp. The Range Rover SVAutobiography is a $200,000 SUV with the ultimate luxury appointments available.
What Land Rover Is Saying
David Mitchell, Vehicle Program Director Range Rover Sport, said: “The HST extends our Range Rover Sport line-up giving customers even greater choice. Sitting between the existing 340hp Range Rover Sport 3.0-liter supercharged V6 and the 550hp supercharged variant, it delivers enhanced V6 performance to go with the renowned comfort and refinement of the Range Rover Sport.”
