Volvo Canada Earns Another Recognition from AJAC

What makes the XC90 stand out above other luxury utility vehicles? Experts at AJAC evaluate all contenders in real-world conditions to help consumers understand their options. Let's zoom in and see what they found that made this car so special.


The evaluation process for 2023's Canadian Car and Utility Vehicle of the Year entailed over 1700 ballots from Automobile Journalists Association of Canada experts that measured newly redesigned to refreshed cars against each other, with a few required per entry. It is no surprise then that the Volvo XC90 won Best Large Premium Utility Vehicle in Canada for 2023 - offering an abundance of style, understated luxury, and security systems.


“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.”


2023 XC90

Bringing out their all-electric and hybrid lineup for 2023, Volvo's flagship XC90 is on the cutting edge - offering either a B6 mild-hybrid or extended range plug-in hybrid option along with 455 hp, 523 lb-ft of torque, sprinting from 0-100 km/h in only 5.3 seconds, and 53 kilometres of EV range per single charge. Not to mention its integrated relationship with Google Assistant plus Google Maps and Play giving you an easy ride every time.


The Volvo XC90 has proven itself to be a worthy contender among luxury utility vehicles. With its cutting-edge electric and hybrid lineup for 2023, the XC90 offers an abundance of style, understated luxury and security systems that make it stand out from other cars in its class. As evidenced by AJAC's evaluation process with over 1700 ballots cast by Automobile Journalists Association of Canada experts, the Volvo XC90 is well deserving of being named Best Large Premium Utility Vehicle in Canada for 2023. We can expect great things from this car as it continues to impress customers and receive awards throughout the years.
