The new Land Rover Discovery 4 has collected its second major
award in Australia, in less than a week, after winning Australia's
Best Cars, Best All Terrain 4WD for 2009.
This marks an unprecedented fifth year in a row that the Land
Rover Discovery has won the Best All Terrain 4WD Award, proving
once again it is still the benchmark for all terrain SUV's. Nothing
can match Discovery's outstanding breadth of capability, luxury and
refinement.
Australia's Best Cars had the following to say about the Best
All-Terrain 4WD winner, "For its versatility and excellent blend of
on-road sophistication with the ability to accomplish go-anywhere
off-road adventures, it once again was impossible to go past the
Land Rover Discovery TDV6 SE. It was no real surprise therefore
that it kicked mud in the faces of heavy-duty class finalists
Toyota LandCruiser and Mitsubishi Pajero."
Land Rover Australia Marketing & Public Affairs Manager
commented, "It's always fantastic to receive such recognition from
the Industry, but for the Land Rover Discovery to win this award
five years running really is special, particularly when you
consider the strength of the competition. The timing couldn't have
been better, with Discovery celebrating it 20th Anniversary last
month. It has certainly evolved over the years, but it has always
provided, and continues to provide, an unrivalled all-round package
for our customers."
This award comes just days after the Discovery 4 was crowned the
2009 'Drive Car of the Year - Best 4WD'. Pitted head to head with
the Toyota Land Cruiser, the Discovery 4 came out in front thanks
to better on-road handling, more premium interior, efficient and
powerful diesel engine.
The new Discovery 4 offers unbeatable versatility, capability
and refinement. Alongside the fresh exterior design, the all new
premium interior, improved dynamics and the more powerful and more
efficient 3.0-litre TDV6 powertrain, it also offers new state of
the art user-friendly features such as a Surround Camera system,
Gradient Release Control, Tow Assist, Automatic High Beam Assist
and Keyless Entry.
The Discovery 4 is available now in Australia, and has
Recommended Price (before statutory and delivery charges) from
$68,490.
