Car of the year honour for Range Rover Evoque
as Land Rover excels in 2012 Diesel Car Awards
The design, technology and capability of
Land Rover’s current model range has been
reflected in the brand’s emphatic success in
the 2012 Diesel Car Awards.
The Range Rover Evoque added the magazine’s
‘Best Crossover’ and overall ‘Car of the Year’
titles to its exceptional tally of 112 worldwide
honours. The judges acclaimed Evoque as
“stunning to look at and stunning to drive…a
car that is instantly a classic”.
Ian Robertson, Diesel Car editor, said: “Already
an icon, the Evoque combines stunning design
and brilliant engineering to great effect.”
While Evoque claimed the ultimate prize, the
Land Rover Discovery 4 demonstrated the
diverse capability of Land Rover design and
engineering by taking the ‘Best 4x4 Award’ for
the third successive year. No challenger has
yet to do better than the Land Rover, which
has occupied the top spot ever since it was
launched, and is described by the magazine as
“everything you could possibly want in a car”.
With a nod to the recently completed ‘Journey
of Discovery’ in which the 1,000,000th
Discovery was driven over 10,000 miles in
50 days, Robertson added: “Land Rover’s
continent crosser reigns supreme as the
world’s most completely clever 4x4.”
Consolidating Land Rover’s achievements, the
Range Rover took the runners-up position
behind Discovery 4 in the ‘Best 4x4’ category.
Evoque - 112 worldwide honours
Land Rover UK Marketing Director, Laura
Schwab said: “We are delighted that the Range
Rover Evoque continues to set standards for
design, engineering and performance right
around the world.
“With the lowest CO2 figure of any Land Rover
of 129g/km, from the efficient 2.2 eD4 diesel
engine, this latest award from Diesel Car
Magazine is a further demonstration of Land
Rover’s continuous focus on technology and
customer requirements.
“Moreover, the continuing success of
Discovery 4 in these awards and the high
praise for Range Rover represent a valuable,
independent judgement on Land Rover’s
across-the-board approach to delivering
the highest standards throughout its model
range.”

Rover’s powerful yet efficient 2.2 litre diesel
