The Volvo XC90 undergoing the brand's typical safety testing, including computer simulation and two live rollover tests.
Look at the prius crash test against the suv. Crash test Prius - SUV.

By Aragon159 [Affiliate User] 1201123120 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveOh my, I saw your videos, it's horrible. The point is that american car manifacturers still work like explained in the movie "fight club". If lawsuits for deaths due to failure are cheaper than fixing a problem, they'll leave it.
Ford is trying very hard pressing their lower quality standards onto Volvo, but hopefully will never ruin Volvo's mentality towards safety.
what else? everything!
good observation, thanks :)
Yes, I remember when they first came out with the XC90. It had a standard turbo 5cyl. (from the 850) or optional 6cyl. (from the 960). I never drove an XC90, but figured they had to be dog slow with either motor. Nice they dropped in a V8 later. Too bad though that it's a Yamaha engine and not Volvo. :-(
By palebeachbum [Affiliate User] 1196164591 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIts a very nice and SAFE car... The only problem I have with it is the early models have horrible acceleration due to their in line 5 cylinder engines. Unless you have the V8 they are now using in line 6 cylinder engines i believe. A much needed improvement
By JTP1193 [Affiliate User] 1196024486 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThat thing has more safety systems than you can think of. I remember sitting in the Volvo dealership and hearing them name a never ending list of safety mechanisms.

By JTP1193 [Affiliate User] 1196023949 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI always owned american cars until my son was killed in a Dodge Caravan because Chrysler wont put the stronger seat in there mini van. Now I own a Volvo XC90. In my opinion the safest car on the road.

I have never had vehicle with a cracked or broken upper torque mount $221.00 47,294 Miles. Very high service charges at $89.00 an hour to inspect items, a 76,000 mile service charge of $458.61
and the only thing that they changed was the oil.
Thankfully, car safety has improved A LOT since the days of the Lumina. Somewhere on here there is a offset head-on crash test between a new mini-car and a big old Volvo. The Volvo did horrible and the little mini-car did extremely well. Much has changed since then.
By palebeachbum [Affiliate User] 1192130098 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyeah i think they do that just because of safety reasons like fire just precautions i mean thats probably wont happe but you never kow

By kaisharrabi [Affiliate User] 1184134863 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI'm a huge Volvo fan and this is a very safe vehicle, but this test seems a little unfair. When the show it dropping on it's roof, I noticed that the entire front end (and God only knows what else) is missing from the vehicle. That has to be a lot of extra weight not coming down on the roof as it's dropped. That doesn't seem like accurate testing to me.
By palebeachbum [Affiliate User] 1183847834 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeoh man.. i rolled a lumina off the road INTO THE SNOW and it came out worse than that, kinda makes you think.. how much are car companies actually putting into car safety?

By Stanika01 [Affiliate User] 1180963800 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe top corners of the windscreen frame are made of carbide tungsten if I remember correctly. Also, the airbags sense a rollover before the car goes inverted and deploy just before the impact, although that is unlikely to happen with the Roll Stability system.
