Gulf Weekly Top ratings for safety innovation

The Volvo XC90 has been awarded five stars and achieved top ratings in its 2015 Euro New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) tests.

The XC90 with standard City Safety technology stood out as the first car from any manufacturer to score full points in Autonomous Emergency Braking Car-to-Car rear-end tests (AEB City & AEB Interurban) and also scored 100 per cent 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 how the Swedish carmaker remains at the forefront of safety innovation.

Dr Peter Mertens, senior vice president of Volvo Car Group’s research & development, said: “This is further proof that with the Volvo XC90 we have developed one of the safest cars in the world. From an industry perspective, Volvo Cars remains the leader in car safety innovation and miles ahead of the competition with our standard safety offer.

“We are the first car manufacturer to surpass the criteria that Euro NCAP has applied to the AEB Interurban and City testing procedures. City Safety is one of the most advanced standard crash prevention offers you can find in a modern car. It addresses vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians in certain situations, day and night.”

Volvo claims it is continuing to pursue the ultimate safety statistic with its ‘Vision 2020’ pledge, with the Swedish marque aiming to deliver cars in which no one is seriously injured or killed by the year 2020.
