This morning, Volvo announced the latest award for its flagship crossover, the luxurious XC90. The Rocky Mountain Automotive Press (RMAP), a non-profit media association now in its 10th year, recently named the premium utility vehicle "Crossover of the Year." The award was presented during a media event last night, ahead of the Denver Auto Show...
As of late, it would seem that Swedish automaker Volvo has become taken with the idea of "good things come in threes." When they were showing off their prototypes for the new design language, there were three. The same goes with their latest blast of top-shelf products: the XC90, S90, and now, V90.
It is so difficult to find the perfect vehicle. It seems that most vehicles are just missing something. Sometimes you aren't even aware of it until you stumble upon a feature that you realize you need. This is the experience you have upon meeting the Volvo XC90 Excellence.
Today, Green Car Journal announced the XC90 T8 Twin Engine as the winner of its 2016 "Luxury Green Car of the Year" award. Volvo's seven passenger plug-in hybrid SUV features two engines: a 400-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo and supercharged combustion engine in front, and an electric motor in the year. Combined, they achieve an EPA-rated 53 mpg.

What sets the North American Car And Truck of the Year awards apart is that, instead of coming from a singular media outlet, they are awarded by a group of more than 50 independent journalists from the United States and Canada. The awards are designed to identify the best new vehicles in the industry, which is why we were excited to learn that the XC90 has been named a finalist for the Truck/Utility of the Year award. Out of all the new Trucks and SUVs in the industry, only three made the cut. The winner will be announced on…
When Volvo began showing the direction for its next generation lineup with its trilogy of concepts in 2013 and 2014, we were excited to see how it would look on a production car. When the XC90 debuted, we quickly wanted more, and now we're getting more. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the 2017 S90.
"The first thing many of us noticed about the new XC90 is how it reminds us of the Volvos of our collective 1970s and 1980s youths: a perfect box, far more concerned with utility than sexiness, yet so exquisitely crafted that it screams expensive."
Here's some cute news. Volvo is working on technology that will help Australian drivers avoid hitting kangaroos. "Detection and avoidance technology already exists for other animals such as deer, moose and cows. But kangaroos pose a unique problem," reads an NBC News article on the subject.
