The Volvo XC60 has been awarded the ‘Best Car Launched in the Last Year’ award at the Auto Trader New Car Awards, following a survey of over 40,000 UK motorists.
With the survey asking questions about topics such as reliability, performance, features and running costs, it was found that the mid-size SUV came out on top in almost every aspect.
This is the 16th major accolade that the XC60 has won so far in 2018, including the World Car of the Year.
Ivan Aistrop, Auto Trader road test editor, said: “It’s been a big year for Volvo, with some really impressive new products launched in the last 12 months. This award shows that the company’s hard work is really being appreciated by car buyers.
“The XC60’s style, quality and image are key factors in its success, but it’s also practical enough for a family, relaxing and comfortable to drive, and – being a Volvo – top notch for safety.”
