The Discovery beat competition from 36 other vehicles, scoring 819.4 out of 1000, leaving the Range Rover as overall runner up.
UK MD John Edwards was understandably pleased with the result in a competition which valued practicality and cost on the same level with off-roading performance and durability.
“We are immensely proud to have fared so well in this year’s awards, against ever-increasing competition in the 4×4 sector. The Discovery 3 is an out-and-out winner which proves that the British still make the best.”
Land Rover won top-three positions in 2006, and have swept the board in 2007.
