Auto Express New Car Honors 2007 has recently awarded Land Rover with two prestigious honors of the Best 4×4 Recreational and Best 4×4 Off Roader, beating its tough competition.

Land Rover Freelander 2 was the model which received this award as it was able to defeat its Honda CR-V and Hyundai Santa Fe competitor in one of the most hot competition, the Best 4×4 Recreational. The Discovery 3 was also able to beat its competition in the form of the Mercedes M-class and BMW X5, thus winning the title Best 4×4 Off Roader.

Ollie Marriage, the editor of Auto Express road test said, “The off-road king is back. The Freelander 2 has returned to the top of its class with a neatly designed and beautifully executed second-generation car.”

Land Rover was extremely happy to have received this award with the automaker’s Managing Director Phil Popham saying, “We are absolutely delighted to win these awards from Auto Express for both the Freelander 2 and the Discovery 3, in a year where we will have a third successive sales record.”

He added, “Achieving the Best 4×4 Off Roader award for the Discovery 3 - a car that continues to be an outstanding success, consistently beating new entrants from other manufacturers - is a testament to its class-leading diesel engine, its versatility and its all-round package.”

This is already on sale at UK and it carries a price tag of £20,935 in Land Rover dealerships throughout UK and this includes the contribution to offset carbon dioxide emissions. Since it went on sale in UK, it was already able to generate sales of over 8,000 units.

On the other hand, the Discovery 3 was able to sell 34,000 units in UK since its introduction in 2004 and it still continues to garner great compliments around the world and also nearly 100 international awards today, especially with the Land Rover Discovery parts that are incorporated in it.

This would be of no wonder as the Land Rover parts have always been known to produce quality performance, making this SUV one of the hottest grabs in any season.
