The Land Rover Discovery has been voted 4x4 of the Year by Plant 4x4 Magazine.
The awards involve a practicality test that takes into account interior space, versatility and gadgets and includes five- and seven-seat vehicles.
Vehicles with five seats were marked out of 90 points, those with seven or more out of 100. The Mercedes GL-Class came second while the Audi Q7 was third.
Commenting on the results, Planet 4x4 Editor Alan Kidd said: "This is quite possibly the least sexy group test any magazine has ever undertaken. But it´s also one of the most relevant to what buyers want their vehicles for. Practicality matters in this market - arguably more than anything else.
"There are some superbly packaged 4x4s out there, and time and again we came across great examples of clever design. But nothing came close to matching the Discovery´s consistently brilliant use of space.
"Its rear seat layout allows it to be a genuine seven-seater or a very credible van - all our testers scored it first or first equal, and the fact that it scored 93 out of a possible 100 says it all."
Other category winners include:
• Best 7-seater: Land Rover Discovery
• Best 5-seater: Lexus RX350
• Best Car-deliver 4x4: Volvo XC70
