Land Rover will be showcasing the new Range Rover Sport HST at the upcoming New York Motor Show which features an uprated V6 engine, enhanced design features and unique chassis settings.

Range Rover Sport HST has got the look

Exterior Styling

The distinguishing design element for the Range Rover Sport HST is a black theme which is evident with the Santorini Black contrast roof. Stealth Pack headlamps with non-reflective surrounds as well as a new spoiler add further appeal to the car. The Range Rover Sport HST rides on large 21-inch alloy wheels with a dark satin grey finish with red brake calipers. If the wheels aren’t big enough for you, then you can always opt for the 22-inch Stealth alloy wheels which are offered as an option.

A Gloss Black finish is found on the bonnet, front wing vents, grille and fog lamp bezels, matching the Range Rover lettering on the edge of the bonnet and tailgate. The lower door panels are in body colour and vent detailing on the bumpers are also included.

Interior Styling

Inside, the HST features duotone seats in Oxford Leather. The fascia contrasts with the Ebony coloured door trims, centre console and headlining. The leather upholstery can be had in four colour combinations with all-Ebony available as an option.

HST badging is seen on the dashboard, carpet mats and on the TFT instrument panel. The sportiness of the model is further emphasised with cues on the Nobel-plated paddle shift gear levers and ‘Sports’ pedals while the aluminium trim features a textured ‘Sports’ finish.

Engine Power

The Range Rover Sport HST comes fitted with a beefed-up supercharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine that delivers 279 kW. The vehicle comes with a single-range transmission with Terrain Response which,features Dynamic Mode, which optimises the suspension, Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) and other electronic mechanisms to match road conditions. The chassis has been fine-tuned for maximum performance. Changes to the suspension help reduce body roll while uprated brakes with 20-inch discs ensure maximum confidence.

Sadly, the Range Rover Sport HST will only be available in specific markets such as North America, China, Russia and the Middle East. Either way, the HST is still nice to look at and us South Africans can only dream…
