The New York auto show marks the last of the big, new model unveilings until the Fall, and this year features some remarkable unveilings, along with a hefty helping of SUVs. Where many recent auto shows focused on electric cars and efficiency, this show reflects the northeast of the U.S., and buyers' preference for SUVs and all-wheel-drive cars.
One notable SUV making its first appearance here is the Range Rover Sport, an urbanized version of the new Range Rover that appeared last year. Land Rover notes that the New York area is its biggest market for the Range Rover Sport, so it is no surprise that the company chose this venue for the launch.
What came as more of a surprise was the V-6 engine option, not available on the standard Range Rover. The base Range Rover Sport also comes in at $20,000 less than its big brother.
