Scottish Car of the Year 2017
The new Land Rover Discovery is named both SUV Category winner and overall Scottish Car of the Year 2017 by the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers (ASMW), which completes a hat trick for Land Rover in Scotland during the last ten years, with the Discovery 4 winning in 2009 and the Range Rover Evoque in 2011. This news comes off the back of Auto Express crowning it as its overall winner in June this year for their coveted annual car awards. Moreover the award is particularly relevant with one in four premium SUVS sold in the class in Scotland this year being the Discovery.
The Discovery was recognised for its blend of luxurious character and supreme on-road ability together with its class-leading off-road capabilities. Collecting the award, Jeremy Hicks, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover UK, said: “This is a hugely important market for Jaguar Land Rover, and we are very proud of it. I’m also delighted to announce that in recognition of this award and as a thank you to the Association, and the people of Scotland for their support of Land Rover over the years, we will be donating a Discovery to Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) for six months to help them during the winter months.”
The Discovery HSE will support Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance ground operations for their life-saving charity. SCAA covers the entire country reaching 90 per cent of the population within 25 minutes, and since its launch in 2013 has responded to nearly 1600 time-critical emergencies.
