Earlier this month, the team here at your Volvo dealership serving Lake Forest, IL, Fields Volvo Northfield, was excited to learn that the all-new 2017 Volvo S90 luxury sedan had been named a 2017 AUTOMOBILE All-Star, which marks the first time a new Volvo model had earned this accolade. Keep reading to find out more about this great honor!
AUTOMOBILE chooses its All-Star vehicle contenders from the list of vehicles that are all-new, heavily revised, or offer significant variants to previous generations of that model that were released in the 12 months previous to its test. The editorial staff then spends several days driving the possible All-Stars on both road and track tests. An AUTOMOBILE All-Star must embody style, class, importance, and desirability, but that is the only criteria. The editors will drive them, test them, argue about them and vote on them to determine the winners. The editors at AUTOMOBILE honored the 2017 Volvo S90 for its cohesive combination of safety, style, sensibility, and comfortable and smooth ride that all work to help the sedan stand out from the pack. Mike Floyd, AUTOMOBILE editor-in-chief, said, “With the S90, it’s not about how fast it gets you there; it’s about how it make you look and feel as it does.”
The 2017 Volvo S90 was also a finalist for the Motor Trend Car of the Year and 2017 North American Car of the Year awards. It is available with one of two powertrains and comes standard with a number of tech and safety features that drivers will enjoy. Lex Kerssemakers, Senior Vice President Americas and President and CEO, Volvo Car USA, had this to say about the honor: “That the S90 sits along childhood dream cars as an AUTOMOBILE All-Star speaks volumes about how Volvo can build truly compelling car[s].”
