Best Large 4x4 WHATCAR? Award Winner 2006
Discovery HSE | Zambezi Silver
Triple WHATCAR? AWARD WINNER

After scooping two prestigious WHATCAR? awards in the year of its launch, Discovery 3 has been recognised for a second year as the best in its class, winning the coveted Best Large 4x4 2006 title.  

We are delighted to receive this prestigious award which was given following rigorous testing by WHATCAR? We are even more pleased by the multitude of reasons they have given for their selection.

´It´s the Disco´s sheer depth of talent that has sealed its second victory.´
Recognised for combining a no-nonsense image with exceptional ability in the rough, ´Discovery 3 retains the class and refinement of an executive saloon with the practicality of an MPV´, winning for the second time the WHATCAR? Large 4x4 of the Year: ´the Discovery has no equal in this class.´
WHATCAR? Car of the year 2005
"The new Discovery´s on-road behaviour is astonishingly good"
WHATCAR? were particularly impressed by the ´excellent high-speed stability, tight control of cornering roll and a firm but well-damped ride´ of the Discovery 3 and the fact that ´road noise is almost totally isolated."
WHATCAR? 4x4 of the year 2005
"Separate chassis, permanent four-wheel drive and serious off-road talents."
Allied to ´High-tech aids´ [that] have made off-roading even easier´ this was a key factor in the Discovery 3 claiming the WHATCAR? Large 4x4 of The Year.

"Attention to detail has been paramount."
WHATCAR? were quick to praise the "high quality of build and materials" and to consider the longer wheelbase which "seats seven with comparative ease". They also acknowledge that "the command-post driving position expected of a Land Rover has been preserved, giving you a great view out."
Discovery 3 wins its 77th Award
As Auto Express ´4x4 Off-Roader´ champion for the second year in a row, Discovery 3 has been accredited for its unmatched ability that sets it apart from every other car in the class. Auto Express recognised, "Whether towing, mountain climbing, family carrying or simply taking the sting out of the daily commute, Land Rover´s Discovery never fails to impress."
"It´s fantastic to see Discovery 3 recognised yet again."
Discovery 3 has beaten all its competition to win the Auto Express ´4x4 Off-Roader´ category as the leader in its class.  Advanced 4x4 technology, unrivalled comfort and on-road performance put it streets ahead.
"As well as its on-and-off-road capability, it offers a quality driving environment"
As the AXA Car of the Year 2006, Discovery 3 easily came out on top by scooping almost twice the number of points as its nearest rival, thanks to its 4x4 talents, refined interior and powerful performance.
