Every Angle of the 2019 Range Rover Sport HST
The new mild-hybrid setup delivers more power and better fuel-economy ratings but without the uptick in performance this luxury SUV could use.
The 2019 Range Rover Sport is the first vehicle from the British brand to offer the company's all-new turbo- and supercharged 3.0-liter inline-six powerplant, which sounds like a more compelling setup than it really is. Read the full story here.
The Range Rover Sport is expensive and luxurious, and it, at least in its grander configurations, competes against performance SUVs such as the Mercedes-AMG GLC43 and Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio.
The 355-hp version of the Sport's new inline-six can be had on the SE and HSE trims, while the higher-output 395-hp version is reserved exclusively for the HST model.
The Range Rover Sport's HST setup looks the business thanks to its standard black roof, exterior accent trim, and 21-inch wheels. Our test car was fitted with optional 22-inch rollers.
The new Ingenium inline-six is boosted by a turbocharger and an electric supercharger, the latter intended to pump up low-rpm torque and initial throttle response.
The new engine's efficiency is bolstered by a mild-hybrid system that includes a belt-driven motor-generator, a 48-volt electrical system, a 0.2-kWh lithium-ion battery, and regenerative braking.
The Sport's new mild-hybrid powerplant reduces fuel consumption slightly over the previous supercharged V-6, yet with no improvement to straight-line performance.
Despite looking like a hot-rod SUV, the Range Rover Sport HST actually is quiet, smooth-riding, and refined.
The Range Rover Sport HST's interior is sumptuously appointed with supple leather and synthetic suede upholstery, accented by elegant touches of brightwork.
The Range Rover Sport HST can tow a maximum of 7716 pounds, making it competitive with many large SUVs and light-duty pickups.
Land Rover offers a long list of luxury options, and our HST test vehicle was fitted with a slew of extras that boosted its $84,245 base price to $105,170.
