Having gained multiple honours as a new car, the Volvo XC40 has today been recognised for its compelling qualities in the pre-owned market, winning the overall Used Car of the Year and Used SUV of the Year titles in the What Car? Used Car of the Year Awards.
The XC40 impressed the judges across the board. Key factors that sealed its success included the wide choice of powertrains, the interior quality, refinement and family-friendly practicality, delivered with superb value for money for used car buyers.
Mark Pearson, What Car? Used Cars Editor, said: “For us, the XC40 is the supreme all-rounder – a reliable and desirable car that does so many things exceptionally well. You can have it as a petrol, diesel, hybrid or fully electric car, too, giving the used car buyer a variety of options. The fact that this immensely appealing family SUV should also be such great value when bought used just seals the deal for us.”
Volvo also celebrated success for the XC90 T8 large SUV, which was commended in the Used Hybrid category.
Rob Deane, Volvo Car UK’s Commercial Operations Director, said: “The qualities that have made the XC40 such a great success for us in the new car market are proving equally appealing to customers looking for a used car – an area where value for money and peace of mind are also crucial considerations. These factors have helped earn our great SUV this much-appreciated award.”
