Volvo Brings New Wagon, Ultra-Lux Suv To Chicago For The First Time, S90 Sedan Named 'Best Sedan Of The Year'

February 7, 2017 by Volvo

ROCKLEIGH, NJ - The all-new Volvo V90 Cross Country wagon and ultra-luxurious XC90 Excellence plug-in hybrid SUV will make their Chicago Auto Show debuts this weekend at McCormick Place. Also on display will be the S90, named Best Sedan of the Year 2017 by Chicago News.

Since the introduction of the first Cross Country almost 20 years ago, Volvo Cars has become synonymous with the rugged all-road, all-weather product category, with a growing stable of Cross Country models.

Volvo Cars' Cross Country models fulfill an increasingly important part of the Swedish automaker's product portfolio as luxury car buyers seek out a more experienced-based lifestyle that occasionally takes them off the beaten track.

'The V90 Cross Country is an elegant, all-road car that delivers safety, comfort and performance in a capable and adventurous package,' said Lex Kerssemakers, Volvo Cars' Senior Vice President Americas and President and CEO, Volvo Car USA.

With Volvo Cars' Scalable Product Architecture providing the underpinnings, the V90 Cross Country has undergone rigorous testing to ensure that it can survive the extremes in which it will ultimately find itself.

From secret testing facilities in the frozen north of Sweden, where temperatures regularly hit -40 degrees to the searing desert heat of Arizona, where Volvo Cars performs its high temperature testing program, the V90 Cross Country has been built to last.

'As it was built to survive Swedish winters in the Arctic, we expect the V90 Cross Country can handle anything Chicago can throw at it,' Kerssemakers said.
