Well, it has just been recently found out that among all other 4 x 4 and sport utility vehicles in the whole land of automobiles, three of the vehicle units made and created by the Land Rover brand have been considered and were proven to be the cream of the crop. These three units are the Land Rover Discovery 3, the Land Rover Range Rover, and the Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

This is basically according to a recent article published in the Planet 4 x 4 magazine. The magazine did further say that the Land Rover is the king of all vehicles made for the off road. Furthermore, this crowning glory of Land Rover is all part of the magazine's inaugural awards which are given out by the magazine each year. This is sure proof that the Land Rover brand made sure that their vehicles would have the very best Land Rover body parts would be used to make the vehicles so much so that it can not only perform well but it would also last through rugged and rough terrain.

According to the magazine, the top three spots belonged to the three Land Rover vehicles: the Land Rover Range Rover TDV8, the Land Rover Discovery TDV6, and the Land Rover Range Rover Sport Supercharged. The Range Rover TDV8 also took home the Best Off Roader award. As per the Land Rover TDV6 Discovery 3, this one was able to grab the Large Off Roader category while the Large SUV award was given to the Range Rover Sport Supercharged. The latter also took home the Manufacturer of 2006 honor.

Of course, if you are thinking that Land Rover took home the top awards mainly because it was the only contingent in the mentioned awards, well you should think again. You see, the brand had to contend with other large and well known auto manufacturers like Nissan, BMW, Lexus, and Audi.

?We think this is the most credible test of its kind ever undertaken by a 4x4 magazine, and Land Rover's success can't be underestimated,? says the editor of Planet 4 x 4, Alan Kidd.
