Land Rover Wins Three Trophies at the 2013 Auto Express Awards

July 10, 2013 - PRLog -- Land Rover Hoffman Estates (http://www.landroverhoffman.com/dealership/about.htm) is pleased to announce that the Range Rover family won big at the 2013 Auto Express Awards earlier this month in London. Every year, the prestigious British auto magazine picks winners in a number of categories. This year, the editors picked the Range Rover as Best Luxury Car and also gave it the Auto Express Design Award. The Range Rover Evoque took home the Best Compact SUV award.

The all-new Range Rover was called “an awesome achievement, combining the highest standards of luxury with a hitherto impossible blend of on-road comfort and off-road ability” by Steve Fowler, Editor-in-Chief of Auto Express. He went on to say, “To do all that with such style and efficiency makes it a worthy winner.”

The 2013 Range Rover (http://www.landroverhoffman.com/2013-range-rover.htm) is the first all-aluminum SUV, which helps the vehicle lose weight, increase efficiency, and improve driving dynamics in comparison to previous models. Despite the loss of significant weight, the Range Rover is just as rugged and off-road capable as ever.

The Range Rover Evoque was formerly the Auto Express Car of the Year, and the compact SUV trophy marks the third year in a row the vehicle has taken home a prize from Auto Express. Fowler said of the Range Rover Evoque, “We love its style, quality, and ability on and off-road. It remains one of the most desirable on sale in the UK today.”

The Evoque catches eyes with its bold design, but it’s also surprisingly fun to drive, and yields impressive fuel economy. Like its larger sibling, it uses a lightweight body structure; and for the first time in a Range Rover, it comes equipped with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine.  

Jeremy Hicks, Managing Director for Land Rover UK, said, “Three trophies in one night is a fantastic achievement… The Range Rover has set new standards in luxury, the Evoque continues to be the benchmark for compact SUVs, and industry leading design will always be at the heart of everything we do.”
