Volvo XC60 Wins Middle East Car Of The Year 2018

The new Volvo XC60 has been named Jury Car of the Year by MECOTY’s jury panel at the annual MECOTY award ceremony, held in parallel with the Abu Dhabi International Motor Show, further adding to Volvo’s growing list of accolades.

The XC60 also received the Midsize Premium SUV award, while the XC40 won in the Small Premium SUV category.

“We are honored and pleased to accept these prestigious awards”, said Jesus Fernandez de Masa, Managing Director at Volvo Cars EMEA Importers. “The MECOTY award as well as both SUV category awards prove that Volvo Cars have the right design, performance and connectivity that appeal to the customers of the Middle East, a key market for us.”

The XC60 also took home the prestigious North American Utility Vehicle of the Year award earlier this year in addition to the World Car of the Year 2018 at the New York Auto Show. The XC40, on the other hand, was named European Car of the Year at the Geneva Motor show a few weeks earlier.
