Volvo XC90 Roll Over CRASH TEST

The 2015-2018 Volvo XC90 offers the most comprehensive and technologically sophisticated standard safety package available in the automotive industry. It includes two world first safety technologies: a run-off road protection package and auto brake at intersection capability.
 
In a run-off road scenario, the all-new Volvo XC90 detects what is happening and the front safety belts are tightened to keep the occupants in position. To help prevent spine injuries, energy-absorbing functionality between the seat and seat frame cushions the vertical forces that can arise when the car encounters a hard landing in the terrain.
 
The XC90 is the first car in the world with technology that features automatic braking if the driver turns in front of an oncoming car. This is a common scenario at busy city crossings as well as on highways, where the speed limits are higher.
 
City Safety becomes the umbrella name for all of Volvo Cars’ auto brake functions, which are standard equipment in the all-new XC90. It now covers vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians in front of the car, day and night.

My wife had a bad wreck in a 2001 Volvo S60 with a Chevy Tahoe at highway speeds. she was 5 months pregnant at the time with our son. He turns 18 this year thanks to Volvo. The Volvo was totaled but she was unhurt. The Tahoe, although it was much bigger and heavier, looked like it had been dropped off a cliff. The Volvo's sunroof and doors would still open. Within a week we bough another S60. The value of a Volvo is priceless.

I was hit twice in one year in a Toyota, not an Suv. Both times going about 35 mph; one on the side; driver ran a light. Next rear ended, this was pre air bag. Result; 9 back surgeries. The car crumbled like aluminum foil. After much research, I bought my first Volvo based on what it weighed and how the seat felt on my broken spine.I just bought a 2015 Volvo v60, all cars have problems but you cannot put a price on feeling safe. Yes, Volvo is owned by a Chinese company BUT they only supply the money. Volvo still is designed, engineered by the same company. I love the blind spot warning system, the rear camera but mostly I love that I feel safe.And no even though both accidents resulted in tickets for the other drivers, I did not sue. Dumb.Yes, Volvos are not cheap but neither are 9 back surgeries, this car will not crumble if I get hit.

I had an accident driving my XC90 right this morning: a car without driver, parked on a steep slope, just came down, got momentum and hit my XC90 exactly on my side. I can assure it is a very safe car. I chose this car after watching the crash test on this site, on IIHS and EURONCAP. Had to wait 8 months but it was worthy. Take care;-)

I've bought a V40 2001 model in 2010 for 1000 Bucks with 120k miles on the clock. It was for nothing more than a runabout as a delivery car. I drove it each day in start stop traffic and in 4 years put another 80k miles on top. The car is solid, no major problems, only things replaced were the fluids, light bulbs, tires, brake pads, wipers. Mechanically the car was solid, a true workhorse. I crashed on the way to Lancaster in February 2015. At 60 miles i was rear ended by drunk driver on the motorway, caused me to hit the middle reserve and flip 3 times, ended up on the roof upside down. All the airbags deployed and I had no major injury, the only thing was that my elbow hit the gear and was quite bruised. So i am sold on the Volvo. Now driving the S60 and have no complaints!

That was one of the best rollovers I have ever seen, looks like they'd walk out of that with nothing more than a headache

[sebastianmoron-villa]

Man, Volvo really do care about the occupants in their cars.

[MDKN]

I have to say that Volvos are basically the safest vehicles out there.

[chrisl]

Volvo is hands down the safest. Most accidents do occur at around 30 - 40 mph, so that's why they test them at that point. People do crash at higher speeds in these cars and survive with little to no injuries. Although, it gets to a certain point where the safety of the car does not matter. If its enough force on impact to where the body can't handle it, doesn't matter what car you are in it can kill you. From too many G's in the force of the collision. But for me, Volvo for life.

[JENSDONT]

Extremely safe. A lot of concerned parents would love this car! 

[MADTANKERS]

The windscreen didn't even crack on impact....Impressive!

[brandenongkp]

This is one car I would buy for my children to drive.

[costisordorin]

A very, very big fan for the Volvo cars...FOR LIFE.

[Laceeka]

amazing...in these crashes nobody would be hurt, the video clearly shows. Wow....great car

[Rputaytion]

Probably going to be one of the top safest suvs built to date... Volvo puts quality and safety before anything else

[naseralhamdan]

Quality is not an act it's a habit.absolutely Volvo i love it

[ИгорьОразбаев-ни]

Здесь не может быть никаких сомнений, , VOLVO FOR LIFE!!

[JackMustang]

Me, and my family (plus my dog), were rear ended in our 2022 Volvo XC90 T6. Side curtain airbags deployed. Crazy thing is, nobody was seriously injured or killed. We walked away from the wreck. It’s crazy to think that Volvo is the safest car maker in the world. Now, we have another Volvo. A 2023 model XC90. I feel safer in a Volvo than any other car in America right now!

[Goregch]

It looks like the panoramic roof did not even crack. I'm buying this car!

[MrAKMacKAY]

We did a factory pickup in Gothenburg of one of our Volvos and safety is clearly Job 1 for every Volvo employee and continues to be from what we have seen. We're also 2 months into our new XC90 and can't find enough good things to say about not only it's inherent safety but it's performance, luxury, driving feel and so much more. The 4 cylinder 2 litre thing made me nervous BUT turbo/super charge Swedish engineering seems like we have a 4 litre V8. (The idle sound is still a little underwhelming!)

[ColdRain]

This is why XC90 has long been my dream car. Although hyundai nearly monopolizes the car industry here, safety is not their first thing... and customer service is far from being satisfactory
