2016 Range Rover Sport HST & Supercharged Limited Edition Product & Pricing Bulletin, MPR15-16
Thanks to a reader, we finally have some info on the new 380HP Range Rover Sport HST.
2016 Range Rover Sport HST adds 40HP to the V6 along with other updates for all Sports
My bullet points from this 2016 update – official PR follows below:
- I wonder if this HP bump is a precursor for more plans to increase non-V8 performance?
- 2016 Range Rover Sport getting the Gesture Tailgate just like the 2016 Range Rover Evoque, waving a foot under the bumper opens tailgate, not new but new to Land Rover.
- 3.0 liter Td6 with 254HP, 440lb-ft of torque getting 24 MPG, US market
- Noble-plated paddle shift gear levers included, usually a pricey upgrade
- A new Carbon Fibre Pack is available, which includes side vents, tailgate trim, door mirror covers, a front grille surround, fog lamp bezels and bonnet vents finished in high-gloss lacquer.
- Finally something that’s been asked about for years: New Auto Access Height is introduced as standard, for improved ease of entry and exit. The system automatically lowers the vehicle to access height when it comes to a halt and a door is opened.

Land Rover Defender Heritage Edition, best for last
One of the three Land Rover Defenders for the Year of Defender Celebration Series:
Heritage Edition
The Heritage Edition evokes the history of the Defender as a modern interpretation of the famous HUE 166 Land Rover – the first pre-production Series I vehicle, nicknamed ‘Huey’, which dates back to 1947. Traditionalists will appreciate the Grasmere Green metallic paintwork, Alaska White roof, heritage style grille, headlamp surrounds and heavy-duty steel wheels. Other nostalgic additions include the silver front bumper with black end caps while clear indicator lenses and Indus Silver door hinges also set the Heritage Edition apart. Body-coloured wheel arches and mudflaps bearing the Heritage logo also feature.
Externally, the finishing touch comes in the shape of aluminium heritage style badging to the front grille and rear bodywork, which is inspired by the designs fitted to the Series I and II models. Evocative HUE 166 graphics also adorn the front wing panels.
While the exterior pays homage to the earliest Land Rovers, the Heritage Edition features a host of modern creature comforts and luxurious finishes inside. They include perforated leather outer steering wheel rim and gear lever, Bright Aluminium trim for the air vents, door handles and door locks, and Almond Resolve Cloth seat facings bearing the heritage logo and detailed with HUE 166 tags.
Durable rubber floor mats and a padded cubby box between the front seats ensure the Heritage Edition is as functional as it is distinctive.
Heritage Edition models will be available in both 90 and 110 bodystyles.

Land Rover Defender Adventure Edition
One of the three Land Rover Defenders for the Year of Defender Celebration Series:
The Defender has helped to establish Land Rover’s credentials as the expedition vehicle of choice and the Adventure Edition is designed for customers who want to explore.
To enhance the Defender’s already impressive off-road credentials, the Adventure Edition features distinctive new underbody protection for the side sills and engine sump, while Goodyear MT/R tyres promise to make the most of whatever grip is on offer.
The Adventure Edition comes in choice of three striking metallic colour options, which include Corris Grey, Yulong White and Phoenix Orange. All feature contrasting Santorini Black paint for the Adventure grille and its surround, the bonnet, roof and rear door, plus the headlamp surrounds and wheel arches.
Seven-inch LED projector headlamps, clear front indicators and Gloss Black split-spoke diamond-turned alloy wheels also distinguish the expedition-inspired model. The front wings feature 90 and 110 decals.
The focus is firmly on comfort inside, where the Adventure Edition promises to provide high quality shelter from the elements. Premium seats with Windsor Leather upholstery available in four different colourways, perforated leather inserts and contrast stitching all add a touch of luxury.
