Auto Express Editor-in-Chief, Steve Fowler said: “The Evoque is all about style, quality and driver appeal. It turns heads like little else, is built superbly and is great fun to drive – a truly brilliant all-rounder.”
The Discovery 4 earned a hat trick claiming the Best Large SUV award for the third year running. The popular 4x4 has earned a production milestone of one million units to date.
Runner-ups in the Large SUV category were the Porsche Cayenne and Hyundai Santa Fe.
Fowler commented: “This is the third Auto Express award for Discovery 4, proof that it is one of the best cars in the real world. Nothing can touch its blend of go-anywhere ability, comfort, tremendous practicality and value. A continual programme of development keeps it ahead of the pack and keeps it looking cool, too."
Jeremy Hicks, MD of Jaguar Land Rover UK, accepted the awards at a presentation in London. “These awards demonstrate the breadth of appeal that the Land Rover brand has in the UK," he said. "We have our strongest product line-up yet and retail sales in the UK are up 28% year-to-date.
“The Discovery 4 is widely recognised as the world’s most versatile and capable SUV and the Range Rover Evoque is continuing to win awards that recognise its all-round performance, distinctive design, and class leading cost of ownership,” he said.
