Borton Volvo Cars is rather excited at the most recent Car and Driver selection of the 2024 Editors' Choice distinctions. In this, five new Volvo models have made the grade for the details involved.
From SUVs to wagons, these Volvo specimens remain highly coveted by families in Minneapolis. The reasoning rests with sustainable powertrains largely mild-hybrid configured and interior settings primed of Scandic-inspired comfort.
Now onsite, Golden Valley shoppers may explore and test drive at-will these highly regarded models given the flourishes recognized by Car and Driver.
What it Takes to Earn Editors' Choice Distinction
Remember in high school when you earned honor roll status for the hard work of delivering excellent grades. It took discipline and dedication to elevate your game as it were beyond the normal and average of your fellow peers.
In this, the 2024 Car and Driver Editors' Choice listing is much of the same. Honored are the brands and models that excel at performance, enjoyment while driving and value inherent. With over 500 models on the market in present day, the process of winnowing the very best is an arduous, but rewarding task.
And in doing so, the Volvo marque has cemented its reputation for quality amid a crowded field. Five distinct Volvo models have made the list for 2024 given what was tested and those attributes that remain specific to Volvo.
Volvo XC40
As a subcompact luxury SUV, the 2024 Volvo XC40 extends stylish design features while staying true to the Volvo mandate of sustainability. With a mild-hybrid powertrain intact, fuel consumption is lessened without ever having to plug-in. And on display are all the accoutrements of Swedish design and brand-minted safety measures the envy of industry in St. Paul.
Volvo XC60
The 2024 Volvo XC60 is defined as a compact luxury SUV, and delivers attributes of refinement and style in one fell swoop. Exterior lines are sculpted and there's an overall handsome demeanor to find favor with. Intact are select Google built-in applications which are voice activated as with all new Volvo models. And mild-hybrid powering works to secure 25 mpg in combined efficiency past Minnetonka.
Volvo XC90
Distinguished as a midsize luxury SUV, the 2024 Volvo XC90 is the largest model in the Volvo lineup at present. Featuring seven seats, the interior space is richly appointed to accommodate larger Eden Prairie families. Two mild-hybrid powertrain choices of turbo- and super-charged are mated to all-wheel drive (AWD). This latter configuration secures 310 pound feet of torque and acceleration from zero to 60 mph in 6.4-seconds.
Volvo V90 Cross Country
The 2024 Volvo V90 Cross Country is not to be overlooked by the more prominent Volvo SUVs described and of equal stature. In fact, this estate wagon remains resplendent given an elegant exterior and opulently appointed cabin. Here, the Minneapolis family is afforded AWD and ground clearance reaching 7.9-inches for all manner of applications.
Volvo V60 Cross Country
There's a definite attractive quality to the 2024 Volvo V60 Cross Country. As the slightly smaller wagon counterpart, interior appointments are upscale and distinctly Nordic-themed. To the exterior is a sense of quiet dynamism that's justified as lower and more streamlined. There's the capacity to tow up to 2,000 pounds and maximum cargo spacing reaches 60.5 cubic feet. Two equipment grades lend ever-more luxe tones.
Volvo V60 Recharge
The 2024 Volvo V60 Recharge is the plug-in hybrid version that remains the top earner in sustainability for this Volvo segment. From a plugged-in charge facilitated at home in Minnetonka, the very next morning you're able to roam 41-miles fuel-free and 74 mpge when engaging hybrid mode. Top performance metrics see 455 horsepower exercised while stemming stillness to 60 mph in just 4.3-seconds.
