Automobiles have relied on the internal combustion engine for over a century. Volvo is the first manufacturer to decide that they will give up on the traditional engine design and make their entire vehicle lineup hybrid or entirely electric by 2019.

Luxury and innovation have always been central components of the Volvo design philosophy. Crafting vehicles that seamlessly integrate technology and provide their drivers with premium comfort and unobtrusive utility is practically a hallmark of the Volvo brand. And now the Swedish automaker is going further than ever to make the luxury car of the future, partnering with the search giant Google to build the next generation of Volvo vehicles.

Handed out by a diverse group of automotive journalists, the prestigious award honors automotive excellence in innovation, design, safety, performance, technology, driver satisfaction and value. Jurors evaluated dozens of new vehicles that went on sale this year to determine the finalists.
If we at North Point Volvo Cars were to highlight all of the winning qualities of the 2017 Volvo XC60, we very likely would be here for quite some time. That list, as it turns out, is a long one.
So, rather than take this approach, we thought we'd link the following video, instead.
