Two What Car? Gongs For Land Rover
Two What Car? Gongs For Land Rover
It was a double whammy for Land Rover as it bagged two gongs at
the What Car? Awards.
The Land Rover Discovery 4 was named the 4x4 of the Year for the
seventh time in a row, while its latest model the Range Rover
Evoque, won the Reader Award for the most exciting car of 2011.
What Car? editor-in-chief Steve Fowler said: "We've loved the
Land Rover Discovery ever since we made it Car of the Year in 2005
and this is its seventh What Car? award - an amazing feat.
"Nothing can beat its 4x4 abilities combined with executive car
quality and family friendly features - it's a real iconic car."
The Discovery 4 is set to receive an update with a new version
of the 3.0 LR-TDV6 engine, which is touted as a powerful parallel
sequential turbocharged diesel engine that will churn out lower CO2
emissions and display an impressive fuel economy.
The Land Rover's award winning terrain response system will also
be boosted with two new features - hill start assist and gradient
acceleration control.
