The XC90 Excellence is a mega-plush Volvo par, um, excellence (pictures)

Sporting an interior that would make some higher-end luxury cars blush, the XC90 Excellence represents the best of what Volvo has to offer.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.
