THE luxury Sedan Volvo S90 has been named Best Midsize Premium Sedan at the Middle East Car of the Year (MECOTY) Awards recently held alongside the 2nd International Motor Show, Abu Dhabi.
The Volvo S90 win follows success at several leading global motoring awards, and it also received a rave review following a test drive in Oman by GulfWeekly’s motoring correspondent Kristian Harrison, who described the event as one of his ‘favourite trips and road-testing experiences’.
The XC90 was named Best Medium Premium SUV at MECOTY and jury prize in 2016. Other regional awards received by the S90 so far include those from Arab Wheels, Automobile Magazine and Future TV.
Emre Karaer, general manager - Volvo Car MENA & CIS, said: “Volvo Cars is proud that the S90 has been named Best Midsize Premium Sedan by the MECOTY jury.
“We are better known for our SUVs and estates but S90 has redefined what a luxury sedan is capable of as it combines cutting-edge technology with effortless Scandinavian design.
“The award is a recognition of the Swedish brand’s continuing transformation and I believe the S90 will become a strong player in its segment. This win highlights the success of our new design and engineering direction and bodes well for the future as we unveil new models in the coming years.”
In the Middle East, Volvo Cars also improved its position in the premium segment in 2016, reporting sales growth of 14.4 per cent as compared to 2015.
