If you are a driver in Santa Rosa looking for a quality new SUV, the Volvo XC90 and Volvo XC40 are the right vehicles for you. Both the XC90 and the XC40 won the 2021 Consumer Guide for best buys. Drivers in Sonoma County should not be surprised by these wins; this is the sixth consecutive win for the Volvo XC90 and the third consecutive win for the Volvo XC40.
An Overview of the Winning Volvo SUVs
Our staff at Smothers European Volvo Cars has long recommended the XC90 as one of the best mid-size crossover vehicles. The editors at Consumer Guide agreed, because they named the XC90 the Premium Midsize Crossover. Likewise, the XC40 won the award for Premium Subcompact Crossover. So whether you prefer a smaller SUV like the XC40 or need the luxurious space offered by the XC90, choosing a Volvo SUV will allow you to pick the vehicle that suits your needs the most.
Why Did These SUVs Win?
When awarding the XC90, the editors noted the spaciousness of the cabin. This mid-size vehicle is truly one for a family that needs lots of room, whether it is for trips to school or road trips during days off work. Editors also cited the following reasons for awarding the XC90:
- Classy appearance
- Multiple features
- Pricing competitive with others in its class
Editors were also impressed with the similar luxury and style found in the Volvo XC40. They noted that the design of the XC40 was intended to be "urban-friendly" and designed to offer the petite storage that drivers choosing subcompact SUVs crave. There is a conscious desire to reduce the overall messiness that can be found in less well-organized subcompact SUVs, and the editors noted this benefit. Other perks of the XC40 included the safety features and technology benefits.
