What Car? (UK)

"Not all that long ago, the Swedish brand was viewed very much as a cut-price alternative to the premium German trident of Audi, BMW and Mercedes. Well, these days Volvo is no longer knocking on the door of that exclusive club – it's partying hard inside." - What Car? Team
Car and Driver (US)

"So far, we’d say that this new kid is a faithful chip off the XC90’s block." - Joe Lorio
