Volvo XC60 Awarded The Safest Car In 2017 By Euro NCAP — Find Out Why
Volvo XC60 Awarded The Safest Car In 2017.
The Volvo XC60 is the safest car in 2017 money can buy. The SUV was crowned as the best-performing large off-roader and the car with the best overall performance of 2017 in the best in class safety awards by the Euro NCAP safety rating agency.
The XC60 scored a full five stars on the Euro NCAP ratings, nearly achieving 100 percent in two categories; 98 percent in the Adult Occupant category and 95 percent in safety assist. In 2015, the Volvo XC90 was crowned the best performing large off-roader that year, and now the XC60 has bagged the crown.
Volvo is the first manufacturer to hold all top three car rankings with the XC60, S90 and the V90 in Euro NCAP's Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) tests: AEB City, AEB Inter-Urban and AEB Pedestrian. Also, the three Volvo cars are the only vehicles to have scored perfect scores in all three AEB categories.
The Volvo XC60 boasts of high-tech safety features, and some of them are firsts in the automobile industry. Features such as the three-point seatbelt, pedestrian airbag are a Volvo-first technology.

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."
He added, "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."
