• New
XC60 praised for its style, quality, technology and comfort
• Described
as "the complete package" by Auto Express
• XC60
available now in petrol, diesel and petrol-electric plug-in hybrid form
The Volvo
XC60 has been voted 'Best Premium SUV' at the Auto Express New Car Awards 2017.
The new
XC60 won praise for its interior quality, design, technology, spaciousness and
comfort-oriented approach. Auto Express's expert testers also said the XC60 has
"a level of safety, connectivity and autonomous technology that leads the
sector" and that it "will be a very easy car to live with
day-to-day".
Commenting
on the award, Steve Fowler, Editor-in-chief of Auto Express, said: "Volvo
has done it again with the XC60. The XC90 has been a serial winner at our
Awards and now the XC60 wins at the first attempt. It's another super-stylish
SUV from Volvo that offers a level of quality, comfort and technology that
rivals can't – it really is the complete package."
This
second-generation model has all of the advanced connectivity and safety
equipment introduced in Volvo's award-winning range of large premium cars. It
also brings Volvo's latest elegant Scandinavian design to the mid-size SUV
class, along with the brand's ground-breaking Sensus touchscreen control
system.
The XC60 is
available with a range of powerful yet efficient engines, including the
innovative T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid. This combines a petrol engine with an
electric motor, making it a near-silent zero-emission city car one minute and a
high-performance family SUV the next. With CO2 emissions of
just 49 g/km, the T8 is also exceptionally tax-efficient.
Jon
Wakefield, Managing Director of Volvo Car UK, said: "Winning the Auto
Express 'Best Premium SUV' award is a fantastic testament to the quality and
desirability of the new XC60. The XC60 brings all the style, sophistication and
cutting-edge connectivity and safety features from our largest cars to our
best-selling model, introducing the fruits of Volvo's transformation to even
more owners."
The XC60
wasn't the only successful Volvo at the Auto Express Awards. The XC90 – a
two-time winner of the 'Best Large SUV' award – was also highly commended in
the 'Best Large Premium SUV' category this year, showcasing Volvo's expertise
when it comes to SUVs.
