December 05, 2007 - Land Rover Merritt Island, the leading automotive Land Rover dealer in Merritt Island of Brevard County, Florida, is proud to announce that the Range Rover Sport has received the “Best Off-Road SUV” title at the Mudfest (14th annual Northwest SUV of the Year Competition), organized by the Northwest Automotive Press Association (NWAPA).
The winners of the event were announced by the NWAPA at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
This is the third consecutive year that one of the Land Rover vehicles has been named the “Best Off-Road SUV” by the NWAPA. Mudfest is the most widely recognized event of its kind in North America. Mudfest allows member journalists to test the performance, handling and braking as well as the on-road and off-road demeanor of each competing SUV.
Off-road testing includes hill-climbing and descent abilities as well as ride comfort and low-range handling. Pavement tests include a slalom, curve handling, and emergency braking maneuvers.
The Range Rover Sport is the SUV engineered for those who take their driving seriously. The combination of strong V8 power, a short wheelbase, and a low, wide stance yields exemplary agility and tenacious road holding. The Range Rover Sport, available with Land Rover's latest generation of active suspension, Dynamic Response, is rapidly becoming the SUV of choice to those who enjoy fast, long-distance touring.
Land Rover Merritt Island is part of Island Lincoln Mercury, the leading auto dealer in Merritt Island, Florida, and offers an exclusive choice of all Lincoln, Mercury, Jaguar, and Landrover vehicles. The dealership also serves areas such as Brevard County, Cocoa Beach, Cocoa, Rockledge, Suntree, Viera, Melbourne, Cape Canaveral, Titusville, Palm Bay, Satellite Beach, Christmas, Indialantic, Melbourne Beach, Patrick AFB, Sharpes, Kissimmee, Orlando, Port Orange, Daytona Beach, Fort Pierce, and South Beaches Areas.
