(March 25, 2015) NEW YORK — Land Rover will present the global introduction of the Range Rover Sport HST at the New York International Auto Show next week. The HST features a 3.0-liter supercharged 380-horsepower V6 engine, unique chassis settings and enhanced design features.

A range of updates to the 2016 Range Rover Sport line-up will also be showcased in New York, including the availability of a new Gesture Tailgate and the introduction of Automatic Access Height.

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 335-horsepower Range Rover Sport 3.0-liter V6 supercharged and the 542-horsepower supercharged variant, it delivers enhanced V6 performance to go with Range Rover Sport's renowned comfort and refinement."

With today's Range Rover Sport announcement, the 2015 New York Auto Show is set to host the largest number of world and North American debuts in its 115-year history. Last year, 63 vehicles from the world's automakers were unveiled.
