2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

For most of 2019, the Range Rover Sport carried over from its major 2018 refresh. The biggest change arrived with late 2019.5 models: a new 48-volt mild-hybrid turbocharged inline-six for the SE and HSE, plus the new HST built around a more powerful version of that engine.
About the 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
2nd generation Range Rover Sport (2014-2022), in the post-2018-refresh period; 2019 is a mid-cycle year with a late 2019.5 powertrain and trim update.
Land Rover positions the Range Rover Sport as the more athletic member of the Range Rover family: a luxury SUV meant to feel sharp and confident on pavement without giving up the brand’s real off-road ability. Its core appeal is the combination of a premium cabin, strong engine choices, air-suspension ride comfort, and genuine trail and towing capability. That blend makes it stand out from rivals that lean either heavily sporty or heavily plush, but not both.
The SE is the straightforward luxury-and-capability model, with height-adjustable air suspension, leather seating, and a 10-inch navigation touchscreen; the HSE adds a more comfort-focused cabin and extra driver aids. The new HST is the 2019.5 standout, pairing a 395-hp inline-six with dark trim, suedecloth accents, and added off-road hardware. At the top, the Autobiography emphasizes comfort around a 518-hp V8, while the SVR uses a 575-hp V8 and sharper road-focused tuning.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 2019 Range Rover Sport meaningfully different from a 2018?
Late 2019.5 versions are meaningfully different if you want the new mild-hybrid inline-six, the HST trim, or the HSE plug-in hybrid. Most early 2019 models closely follow the Range Rover Sport's major 2018 refresh.
Did every 2019 Range Rover Sport have the new inline-six engine?
No. The inline-six arrived with the late 2019.5 update and joined the SE and HSE engine selections; earlier 2019 models largely retained the previous engines. Check the specific vehicle's engine rather than assuming every 2019 has the mild-hybrid system.
What is special about the 2019 Range Rover Sport HST?
The HST is a new late-2019 special edition built around a 395-hp mild-hybrid inline-six. It also has an electrically driven compressor for quicker engine response, dark exterior details, unique badging, suedecloth cabin trim, and added off-road hardware.
Was there a plug-in-hybrid 2019 Range Rover Sport?
Yes. The late-2019 range includes an HSE plug-in hybrid with 398 hp, plug-in charging, electric-driving capability, all-wheel drive, and five seats.
How did the Range Rover Sport trim lineup change for 2019?
The HST joined the lineup, Autobiography Dynamic continued under the shorter Autobiography name, and the Supercharged trim was dropped. Supercharged Dynamic remained a separate V8 model.
