Volvo XC40 Takes Top Plaudit in Motor Trader 2019 Awards

July 22, 2019 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

The Volvo XC40 has claimed yet another significant honour, adding the New Car of the Year title in the Motor Trader 2019 Awards to its impressive collection. Its success confirms its status as a game-changing model in the fiercely competitive premium compact SUV market, more than a year on from its UK debut.

Motor Trader’s judging panel was full of praise, saying: “The XC40 is a star turn. It shines on all the crucial fronts: convenient size, engaging driving dynamics, impeccable safety credentials and excellent build quality. These combine to make it an outstanding car.”

The XC40 was admired for its restrained styling in contrast to more “pumped-up” SUVs, projecting a look that is “more mannerly and less confrontational”. The judges were also impressed by the car’s ride, handling, performance and refinement, which help make it an accomplished companion over long distances. Further appreciation was given to the “cool Scandinavian interior” and the impressive array of safety features fitted to every version in the range.

A recipient of the maximum, five-star rating from independent safety testing organisation Euro NCAP, the XC40 has excellent impact protection engineered in, while its array of advanced systems include City Safety, which alerts you to a collision risk and can automatically apply the brakes in an emergency as required.

The XC40 is available with a range of Volvo-designed-and-built engines, engineered for smooth performance with good fuel economy and low emissions across the board. Manual and automatic transmissions are available, together with front- or all-wheel drive, depending on the engine.
