Volvo XC90 still one of the safest cars on the market
08 Nov 2013|3,581 views
After almost more than a decade, the IIHS results still rank the iconic XC90 as one of the safest cars on the market after awarding it a 2014 Top Safety Pick+.
The XC90 Top Safety Pick+ results include a good performance in the small overlap front test, which replicates what happens when the front corner of a vehicle gets hit by another vehicle or an object, such as a tree or a utility pole. During the test, 25 percent of the front end on the driver side strikes a 1.5m tall rigid barrier at 64km/h.
While many vehicles have had to undergo significant structural changes to earn good ratings, the XC90 has retained the same basic structural design since the seven-seater was introduced in 2002. Previously, the Volvo S60 and XC60 received the highest score in the new test programme.
"The IIHS award emphasises the sustainability of our safety leadership. And the upcoming all new XC90, which arrives in 2014, will feature new innovative safety features that bring us another leap towards our aim that by 2020 no one should be injured or killed in a new Volvo. Our long-term vision is that cars should not crash," said Thomas Broberg, Senior Safety Advisor at Volvo Car Group.
Volvo reaffirms its reputation as an automaker manufacturing some of the safest cars after receiving top scores in the latest U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) tests.
