Land Rover's Discovery 3 pipped stablemate Range Rover Sport to the top spot this year. The well-regarded offroader does everything a Luxury SUV needs to earn its keep, with composed on-road dynamics and, unlike some others in this segment, an exemplary four-wheel drive package for the rough stuff. While it's heartily outsold by the likes of BMW X5, segment shoppers still look to the Disco as a benchmark.
