Canadians have something to be proud of today, as Volvo Canada has announced that the Volvo XC90 has been named the Best Large Premium Utility Vehicle in Canada for 2023 by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). This remarkable recognition comes shortly after AJAC's awarding of the XC40 Recharge as Green Utility Vehicle of the Year for 2022. With experts at AJAC evaluating vehicles under actual Canadian conditions, consumers and potential buyers can trust that they are getting a better understanding of available options and factors to consider when purchasing a new vehicle.
By examining over 1700 ballots submitted by Automobile Journalists Association of Canada professionals, the 2023 Canadian Car and Utility Vehicle of the Year found success in assessing models from brand new to mildly retouched - all requiring a least some number of ballots. And it should come as little surprise that Volvo's XC90 was given top honours as Best Large Premium Utility vehicle in Canada for 2023 thanks to its sleek styling, lavish appointments, and reliable security functions.
“We’re pleased to see the continued recognition from the experts at AJAC,” said Matt Girgis, managing director, Volvo Car Canada Ltd. “With its long and esteemed history, the XC90 continues to impress, and we are thrilled to add this award to what has become a growing list of accolades for our brand.”
