The Land Rover Discovery 3 has been crowned the AXA Car of the Year 2006 in Northern Ireland.
The title was awarded by the Ulster Motoring Writers Association (UMWA) who chose the Discovery 3 as the winner of the AXA Leisure Car category before being crowned the AXA Car of the Year 2006, beating tough competition from Lexus, Audi and Toyota.
The Discovery scooped almost twice the number of points of its nearest rival. Since its launch in 2004 the Discovery 3 has won 70 awards around the world.
