Land Rover Discovery Wins Tow Car Award


Discovery wins tow car award

The Land Rover Discovery 3, one of the most awarded 4x4s ever, has scooped yet another accolade for best 'Towcar over 1900kgs' at the inaugural Practical Caravan, What Car? and the Camping & Caravanning Club Towcar awards for 2007.

Judges hailed the Discovery 3's exceptional capability, saying: "The Discovery 3 will happily tow at 100km/hr all day, and smoothes away bumps that are felt with a thump in many other 4x4s. Nothing else in this class is as accomplished an all-rounder; it's great to drive solo, tows with gusto and is supremely practical."

Land Rover's Discovery 3 is a technology-packed, premium 4x4 designed to deliver outstanding performance both on and off-road. It offers exceptional space, comfort and flexibility, for up to seven adults and is able to tow up to 3.5 tonnes - enhancing its 'three cars in one' status.

"This is another example of the Discovery 3's breadth of capability," said Wallis Dumper, the Managing Director of Motorcorp Distributors, the New Zealand importer of Land Rover. "This award is testament to the fact that it is a supremely able vehicle and capable of tackling anything that a customer throws at it."

Priced from $99,990, the Discovery 3 is available in New Zealand with a turbo diesel V6 or petrol V8 engine and six-speed automatic transmission.
