Land Rover Discovery 4 named Diesel Car’s Best 4×4 Car for second consecutive year

One year on there is still nothing to rival the Land Rover Discovery 4 as it claims its second successive ‘Best 4×4’ title in the 2011 Diesel Car awards.

Announcing the award, Diesel Car Editor Iain Robertson declared: If there is a more all-round capable car than the Discovery 4, we have yet to encounter it. With the latest generation Discovery you get everything you need to drive absolutely everywhere.

The Discovery 4 was in good company in the competition, with its sister Freelander 2 model also in the final running, continuing to impress the judges after winning the title in 2008 and 2009 and being a finalist in 2010. The British-built Discovery 4 also triumphed over the BMW X5 in the final reckoning.

The Diesel Car accolade confirms the breadth of capability of the fourth generation Discovery, a model that has picked up a raft of industry honours since its launch in 2009. These include the 2010 What Car? 4×4 of the Year and 2009 Scottish Car of the Year titles, plus two awards in the 2010 Towcar of the Year contest. Most recently it was named Best Luxury 4×4 by Carbuyer.co.uk.

Colin Green, Managing Director Land Rover UK said: We are thrilled to receive this award, doing so for a second year running shows that the Discovery 4 continues to hold a clear advantage over its market rivals. And with Freelander performing so strongly, we can be proud of the strength-in-depth of our engineering, design and performance.

The Land Rover Discovery 4 is available from 36,785 and delivers a winning package of impressive on-road dynamics, superb all-wheel drive capability and sophisticated, contemporary design, exemplifying the qualities at the heart of all todays Land Rover models.
