Volvo yet again garners top honors as the carmakers XC90 receives five stars and achieves top ratings in its 2015 Euro NCAP tests. The XC90 with standard City Safety technology stood out as the first car from any manufacturer to score full points in Euro NCAP Autonomous Emergency Braking Car to Car rear-end tests (AEB City and AEB Interurban).
The XC90 scored one hundred percent in the Safety Assist category. The XC90 also features advanced pedestrian protection functionality that independent safety regulators have yet to include in their testing protocols, demonstrating once again how the Swedish carmaker continues to dominate and innovate in the field of car safety.
With Volvo Cars’ long held Vision 2020, the carmaker aims to deliver cars in which no one is seriously injured or killed by the year 2020. The XC90’s clear five star results in Euro NCAP’s testing is a clear indication of Volvo Cars’ continued innovation with the ultimate goal of creating cars that do not crash.
Dr Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President, Research & Development at Volvo Car Group says that this is a further proof that with the XC90, Volvo have developed one of the safest cars in the world. Volvo scored one hundred per cent in the Safety Assist category and, from an industry perspective, Volvo Cars remains the leader in car safety innovation and miles ahead of the competition with our standard safety offer.
