The Land Rover Discovery 3 was voted Best 4x4 by Planet 4x4 magazine. The Land Rover Discovery 3 received 819.4 points out of 1000 possible with the Range Rover voted runner up with just 4.1% behind.
"With the top three overall places in 2006 and a clean sweep of class awards this year, Land Rover is getting it right at just about every level. One tester after another was wowed by the Range Rover's class, the Sport's style and the Discovery's practicality," said Alan Kidd, editor of Planet 4x4 magazine.
"But what I think Land Rover can be particularly proud of is that this result comes in a competition where scores for off-roading meant
almost nothing – and value for money counted towards almost a quarter of the total mark. It would be easy to write this off as a series of victories for the most expensive machines... but in reality, it shows that with Land Rover, you really do get what you pay for."
Land Rover UK managing director, John Edwards added: "We are immensely proud to have fared so well in this year's awards, against ever-increasing competition in the 4x4 sector. The Land Rover Discovery 3 is an out-and-out winner which proves that the British still make the best."
The Land Rover Discovery 3 is available from 27,315 pounds on the road, which includes a CO2 off-set for the first 45,000 miles.
