Announced at a ceremony in London yesterday evening, these latest successes for Volvo reaffirm how the quality, style and technology of the brand's comprehensively renewed model range make for great prospects in the pre-owned car market.

Winning qualities

James Baggott, Car Dealer founder, said: "Volvo is a brand many car buyers aspire to, and while a new model might be financially out of reach for some people, used examples are affordable and are still loaded with an amazing array of safety and tech features, and of course that Scandinavian sense of style for which the brand is so well known. Our research showed the luxurious and practical V90 is a top performer in terms of residual values and days to sell."

Television presenter Mike Brewer, a member of Car Dealer's expert judging team and compere of the awards ceremony, added: "I love the V90 – it's a truly classy car – and so do the customers at my dealerships. The only trouble I have is getting hold of them! They hold their value well, look fantastic and, in common with other cars in Volvo's range, their clever tech and timeless Scandinavian design are appreciated by buyers."

The V90 benefits from Volvo's famous heritage of estate car design, while embracing all the forward-thinking qualities and technologies that set the brand apart in today's premium car market. Its clean and elegant styling inside and out are combined with clever packaging to ensure that load-carrying capacity, ease of use and passenger comfort are not compromised. The range offers a choice of powerful 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines – all matched to a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission – plus Volvo's supremely efficient Twin Engine petrol-electric plug-in hybrid system, delivering ultra-low emissions and the ability to cover more than 25 miles on pure electric power.

Whether purchasing new or pre-owned, customers also enjoy the protection of Volvo's impressive safety technology, including City Safety, which automatically recognises and helps avoid many common collision risks, and Pilot Assist, which reduces the burden on the driver on long distances by helping keep the car to its intended path, at a set speed and at a safe distance from any vehicle in front.

Matt Galvin, Volvo Car UK Sales Director, said: "Volvo is world-famous for building excellent estate cars, and this award for the V90 confirms that, in the opinion of experts, we're still at the top of our game, making the model that is the best choice for people looking for style, value and lasting quality in the pre-owned car market. And the fact that Volvo Selekt Approved Used Cars was named best manufacturer used car website makes finding your ideal approved-used V90 even easier."
