Top honours for land rover at 2013 scottish car of the year awards
Land Rover achieved a remarkable triple success at the 2013 Scottish Car of the Year Awards, with honours going to the new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.
Range Rover received the Best Luxury Car Award, an acknowledgement of how Land Rover has continued to develop the quality, comfort and refinement of the fourth generation vehicle.
SML Frontier Automotive Managing Director Sheran Fernando said: “Luxury comes in many forms, but the Range Rover brings together such a broad range of talents, it stands head and shoulders above the competition. It also brings innovative design, supreme comfort and world-beating style.”
The accolade adds to a growing list of industry awards for the new Range Rover, including luxury car of the year titles from ‘What Car?’ and ‘Top Gear Magazine’.
The all-new Range Rover Sport was also named Scottish SUV of the Year. Sharing the same lightweight construction principles with its larger sibling, and built on the same highly efficient production line at Land Rover’s Solihull plant, the new Range Rover Sport has made significant advances in handling, performance and customer appeal.
“A good SUV has to be many things: good looking, roomy, comfortable and ideally great both on road and off,” said Alisdair Suttie. “Thanks to an all-aluminium lightweight body that has helped it lose 400 kilograms, the latest Range Rover Sport is all those things, as well as being much faster and surprisingly economical.
“Factor in the availability of a seven-seat option and we think this is the best SUV available on the Sri Lankan roads today”, said Fernando.
The Range Rover and Range Rover Sport awards were accepted by Fiona Pargeter, Head of Global PR Communications, Land Rover, who said: “We are extremely proud to receive these awards, and value the recognition they make of Land Rover, raising the bar for quality and performance in the premium SUV market.”
The all new Range Rover has just been launched by SML Frontier Automotive and the all new Range Rover Sport will make its Sri Lankan debut in December of this year.
