DOHA: The new Volvo XC60 midsize SUV has won a number of global and local accolades including the prestigious World Car of the Year 2018 at the New York Auto Show earlier this year. 

The XC60 also scooped the prestigious North American Utility Vehicle of the Year Award and the World Car of the Year win is the first in this competition for Volvo Cars.

Closer to home, the new Volvo XC60 has been named Jury Car of the Year by Middle East Car of the Year’s (MECOTY) jury panel and also received the Midsize Premium SUV award at the annual MECOTY award ceremony further adding to the growing list of award wins.

The XC60 also won ‘Best Luxury Crossover’ at the Qatar Car Awards 2018 organised by two leading automotive magazines, Maqina and Arab Motors. This is the first time the two magazines have partnered to organise an event of this kind in Qatar with an aim to recognise automotive achievements.

Faisal Sharif, Managing Director of DOMASCO, said, “Since its launch, the XC60 has picked up a number of awards both internationally and in the region highlighting its universal appeal. These awards also reaffirm that Volvo has the right combination of design, connectivity and safety that appeals to customers across the world.”  

Doha Marketing Services Company WLL (DOMASCO), is the exclusive distributor of Volvo Cars in Qatar and customers can test drive a new XC60 by visiting the Volvo showroom on Khalifa Street near the National Mosque and TV signal.
