TH White Land Rover in Swindon is heralding the Discovery 3's latest award win as one which proves its customer appeal will be anything but fleeting.

The Discovery 3 has been crowned 'Best Large SUV' by influential magazine Fleet News, demonstrating that its customer appeal extends way beyond the role of versatile family transport.

Commenting on the awards Nick Down TH White dealer principal, said, "To be acknowledged by a magazine that covers the very latest developments in the company car market, shows just how far ahead of the competition the Discovery 3 is.

"Winning the 'Best Large SUV' award has informed fleet managers and key decision makers reading Fleet News that the Discovery 3 can be an executive saloon, a family-friendly MPV and a hard-as-nails 4x4."

The award was made by an expert panel of judges - which included fleet managers, residual value experts, consultants and suppliers who agreed that: "The Discovery 3 just does a better all-round job, providing a luxury-driving environment." The vehicle was also praised for its "good on-road manners" and its "incredibly strong off-road performance."

The win from Fleet News is the latest in a long line of awards won by Discovery 3 since its November launch. Other recent successes include both Freelander and Discovery 3 winning their respective categories in the recent 2005 Fleet Excellence Awards.

Nick said, "Winning this many awards in such a short time demonstrates that Land Rover continues to lead the way and deliver winning performances.

"Even the toughest of critics recognise the Discovery 3's fame certainly isn't fleeting."
