As manifestation to its reliable performance, the latest Volvo XC90 won  AutoGuide.com's Utility Vehicle of the Year Award. "Congratulations to the team at Volvo. The Volvo XC90 is really impressive, and one of the best things about it is that it's the unconventional pick for someone shopping this segment," said Jodi Lai, one of the editors of AutoGuide.com.
