Volvo S60 and V60 secure 5-star safety rating by Euro NCAP
The new #Volvo #s60 sedan and #v60 estate today received the maximum five-star rating in their 2018 #euroncap #safety tests, continuing a five-star streak for the #Volvo line-up.
The result underlines #Volvo Cars' reputation for consistently putting some of the safest cars available on the road. From the compact V40 hatchback to the large XC90 #SUV, all tested #Volvo models currently on sale offer five-star-rated #safety technology.
The 2018 #euroncap testing regime was the toughest ever, with new and more demanding challenges on #safety technology, including cyclist detection with auto-brake and emergency lane keeping systems. The #v60 and #s60 are among the safest cars tested under the new regime.
"This result proves that #Volvo Cars continues to be an industry leader in #safety, constantly pushing the envelope in advancing new technology," says Malin Ekholm, head of the #Volvo Cars #safety Centre. "No matter which #Volvo you choose, you can always be sure that you and your loved ones travel in one of the safest cars on the market."
The #s60 and #v60 share #Volvo Cars' own Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform and #safety technology with their larger sibling #xc60 and the top-of-the-line 90 series cars.
Volvo Cars' active #safety package City #safety with Autobrake technology comes as standard on all Volvos. As a world-first on the #s60 and #v60, City #safety now also engages #auto braking to mitigate oncoming collisions. City #safety is still the only #safety system on the market to help recognise pedestrians, cyclists and large animals.
The #v60 was launched earlier this year in its natural habitat – the driveway of a family home in Stockholm – and highlights #Volvo Cars' pedigree in family estates, catering to the diverse needs and realities of modern family life.
This summer, #Volvo Cars launched the new generation of its #s60 sports sedan. The dynamic #s60 is the first #Volvo car to be sold without a diesel offer, signalling the company's industry-leading commitment to electrification and a long-term future beyond the traditional combustion engine. It is the first #Volvo to be built in the United States, at the company's first ever US manufacturing plant outside Charleston, South Carolina.
