Volvo XC60 is 2017’s overall safest car in Euro NCAP testing
Volvo Cars’ #xc60 has been crowned the best performing large off-roader, and the car with the best overall performance of 2017 in the prestigious Euro NCAP 2017 Best in Class #safety awards.
The #xc60 scored a near-perfect 98 per cent in the Adult Occupant category and in its Large Off-Road class, showed a clear advantage in #safety Assist with a score of 95 per cent – 20 percentage points higher than the nearest Large Off-Road competitor – underlining #volvo Cars’ position as a leader in #automotive #safety.
“The new #xc60 is one of the safest #volvo cars ever made,” said Malin Ekholm, Vice President, #volvo Cars #safety Centre. “It is fully loaded with new technology designed to assist drivers, to help protect vehicle occupants and other road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, plus mitigate collision risks. We are proud that our ongoing commitment to innovating new #safety features has been recognised with another Euro NCAP Best in Class award for #volvo Cars.”
The Euro NCAP award for the #xc60 follows in the tracks of #volvo Cars’ XC90, which in 2015 was also named the best performing large off-roader, and the car with the best overall performance that year. #volvo Cars’ V40 is another previous Euro NCAP winner, in the Small Family class.
“Our vision is that by 2020 no one should be killed or seriously injured in a new #volvo car,” said Malin Ekholm. “The achievements of the #xc60 are examples of our commitment to developing the latest #safety and support systems as we strive towards that vision.”
The #xc60 also joins the S90 and V90 in making history for #volvo Cars as the first manufacturer to hold all top three car rankings in Euro NCAP’s Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) tests – AEB City, AEB Inter-Urban and AEB Pedestrian. The three #volvo cars are the only cars to have achieved perfect scores in all three AEB categories.
The S90 and V90 also scored highly at the Euro NCAP 2017 Best in Class awards, achieving 95 per cent in the Adult Occupant category and 93 per cent in the #safety Assist category.
The Euro NCAP award follows the #xc60 being named Japan’s 2017-18 Car of the Year. The #xc60 also won the UK’s 2017 Car Tech Awards for Best Safest Car, Best #safety Technology and Best Sat-Nav; and was crowned Luxury #suv of the Year in the UK’s Professional Driver 2017 Car of the Year awards. The #xc60 has also been named as one of three finalists for the 2018 North American Utility of the Year award, the winner of which will be announced on 15 January 2018.
