Volvo XC90 'Best 4x4': What Car? Car
of the Year Awards 2003
What Car? magazine
has christened the new Volvo XC90 as 'Best 4x4' in its 'Car
of the Year 2003' awards, announced at a prestigious ceremony
at the London Hilton, Park Lane on Wednesday 15 January.
Rob Aherne, Editor of What Car? said:
"Volvo has waited a long time before joining the 4x4
fray, but the XC90 justifies the delay. We were extremely
impressed by its space, versatility, safety and style. It's
great value, too."
The XC90 took the 'Best 4x4' title from the previous winner,
the BMW X5, which joined the Range Rover and Honda CR-V
as runners up this year.
Volvo Car UK's Managing Director, Hugh Reid was delighted
to accept the award:
"This 'What Car?' award is very important and prestigious
for Volvo and our new generation SUV, the XC90 - and its
timing is perfect just as the first cars are launched in
our showrooms and being delivered to customers."
The XC90's great design with an innovative, flexible interior
offering up to seven individual forward facing seats has
already won it over 15,000 orders worldwide, plus other
prestigious awards, including many in America - the homeland
of the SUV.
