4X4 MAGAZINE'S '4X4 OF THE YEAR 2006' ACCOLADE GOES TO LAND ROVER'S Rover SPORT
LAND ROVER'S Rover SPORT
Gaydon, Warwickshire, 4 August 2005 – Land Rover has won three awards from influential specialist title 4x4 Magazine in its '4x4 of the Year 2006' competition, with the Rover Sport beating 42 other 4x4s to the top accolade.
The Rover Sport Supercharged won the 'Luxury' category, beating the BMW X5, Lexus RX300, Volvo XC90 and VW Touareg before also being crowned 4x4 Magazine's '4x4 of the Year 2006'. Land Rover's latest addition to the convinced the judges with its unique breadth of capability, dynamic exterior looks, luxurious interior package and pioneering technologies such as the patented Terrain Response™ system.
Commenting on the Rover Sport, 4x4 Magazine's judges said: "There could only be one winner, because there was only one car that filled our enthusiast senses with its unbelievable blend of charismatic off-road ability and breathtaking on-road performance. A superb technically advanced machine, packing enough practicality to serve as a genuine family sports-tourer, but one that the true high-performance driving enthusiast will enjoy beyond measure."
The 'Extreme' category was won by the Defender 90 County XS that defeated the Jeep Wrangler, Ricardo Ibex and Santana PS10, thanks to standard equipment such as the coveted TD5 engine with two-speed transfer box and permanent four-wheel-drive through a lockable centre .
Land Rover UK managing director, Phil Popham, added: "This is another prestigious title for the Rover Sport and a well-deserved victory for the Defender, which proves it is still a peerless off-road icon. We know only too well the rigours our products are put through by the judges at 4x4 Magazine, so to come away with three awards is truly a remarkable achievement."
