• Volvo’s top-of-the-line seven-seat SUV recognized as Used Large Car of the Year in the 2023 Car Dealer Used Car Awards

• Plug-in hybrid XC90 T8 named Professional Driver’s Luxury SUV of the Year

The Volvo XC90 has received two prestigious awards within two weeks, confirming its top-notch qualities as both a new and pre-owned purchase.

The range-topping seven-seat SUV was honored as the Used Large Car of the Year at the Car Dealer Used Car Awards and was also recognized as the Luxury SUV of the Year by Professional Driver in its plug-in hybrid form.

James Baggott, Car Dealer Editor in Chief, commented on the latest accolade, “The Volvo XC90 hugely deserves this award. It’s a true all-rounder in the family car market – it has room for seven adults, and the interior can both live up to the abuse of family life and be as plush as a limo’s. It’s also packed with tech and has top-notch safety credentials.”

Car Dealer magazine’s annual awards have been recognizing the best used car models and traders for more than a decade. Used car market expert Mike Brewer, who hosted the awards, added, “The XC90 was a trailblazer when it arrived 20 years ago, and it’s as good now as it was then. It ticks all the boxes and is a cracking used car.”

Customers interested in purchasing a pre-owned XC90 or any other car from Volvo’s range can benefit from the Volvo Selekt approved used car scheme, which provides complete peace of mind with a rigorous 150-point checking process and a comprehensive 12-month Volvo Selekt warranty for cars less than 10 years old and which have covered fewer than 100,000 miles.

Professional Driver magazine’s awards focus on the best vehicles for the UK’s private hire, chauffeur and taxi industry. The Volvo XC90 T8 petrol-electric plug-in hybrid was selected over a number of electric SUVs and was highlighted for its outstanding combination of space, build quality, and a strong focus on safety.

Nicole Melillo Shaw, Volvo Car UK Managing Director, said, “These awards are an independent validation of the lasting quality that’s designed into the XC90 and all of our current models. Whether buying new or a pre-owned car, consumers can be assured that they are making the right choice.”
