Posted on Tue 25th Jul 2017 at 09:18




Automotive magazine Auto Express awarded their coveted ‘Car of the Year’ Award to the new Land Rover Discovery’s for its unrivalled performance, exclusive blend of practicality, versatility, refinement and off-road credentials. This marque of approval honours the development of the Discovery pedigree.


Jeremy Hicks, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover commented, “The latest Land Rover Discovery is a real step up in terms of technology, design and capability from its predecessor. It’s the ultimate expression of Land Rover’s blend of ability, luxury and practicality, and we are thrilled that it is getting the recognition it deserves with this ‘Car of the Year’ title.”

Auto Express’ rigorous testers examined every aspect of the model technological features including its Flexible seating configurations which have been carefully developed for a modern lifestyle. The cabin is wonderfully generous and comfortably accommodates seven adults with ease and can even be instantly configured with the use of a smartphone using a world-first remote ‘Intelligent Seat Fold technology’.

Passengers can also benefit from a spacious 2,406 litres of luggage capacity, best-in-class 3,500kg towing capacity, nine USB ports, and semi-autonomous safety technology, which all impressed the judges.

Editor in Chief of Auto Express, Steve Fowler said “The new Discovery is an incredible vehicle, combining Land Rover's traditional on and off-road brilliance with a level of luxury this class hasn't seen before. It also boasts a level of practicality, tech, refinement and efficiency that make it a massively desirable and deserving car of the year.”

This award is the second successive year that a Jaguar or Land Rover vehicle has taken the top award at the Auto Express’ annual prize-giving event. In 2016 the Jaguar F-PACE was voted the best car of the year by the experts at Britain’s biggest weekly car magazine.
