For an unprecedented fourth year in a row the LR3/Discovery 3 has won the prestigious “Australia's Best Cars All Terrain 4WD of the Year Award”.
The Discovery 3 SE TDV6 had to beat out tough competition from Mitsubishi and Toyota, but in the end the judges praised the Discovery 3 for its on road manners, steering, handling, safety and standard specification levels.
Roger Jory, General Manager of Land Rover Australia boasted; "By wining Australia's Best Cars Award for a record fourth year running, the Discovery 3 has once again proved it is still the benchmark for all terrain SUV's".
"Over the past five years the Discovery 3 has been a major part of Land Rover's success in Australia, each year it continues to be our biggest selling model locally. Nothing can match Discovery 3's outstanding breadth of capability, luxury and refinement."
This award comes just one day after the Discovery 3 was also voted the “Best Luxury 4WD in the Carsales Network People's Choice Awards”, with last year's winner - the Range Rover Sport - finishing a close second.
Carsales said of the Discovery 3; "The well-regarded off-roader does everything a Luxury SUV needs to earn its keep, with composed on-road dynamics and, unlike some others in this segment, an exemplary four-wheel drive package for the rough stuff".
All of these accolades are not limited just to Australia. As "The World's Most Awarded 4WD", the Discovery 3 has now received over 100 awards in 18 different countries, which maybe isn’t surprising, but is a nice testament to Land Rover’s design and engineering.
