Why The XC90 IS A Top Safety Pick

The Volvo XC90 is a pioneer in its segment. The midsize luxury SUV crossover has received its fair share of accolades and awards.

For a vehicle that approving the Top Safety Pick award should be sent " " good ratings in front, side and rear crash protection tests. Apart from having " " good grades in all three crash tests, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also requires an electronic stability control (ESC) program to be part of the vehicle characteristics.

The low cross member in the front of the XC90 is designed to activate the plegara areas of other vehicles that could hit in the head. The bell to the other party is designed to collapse if the vehicle hits a pedestrian.
With good grades security front and rear collision and the presence of the Bi-Xenon lights the XC90 makes a good choice.
