    The XC90 has a lower cross member in the construction of the front suspension that sits at the same height as that of ordinary cars. An SUV with a lower cross member can activate another vehicle's crumple zones.

    This car is amazingly safe. Just too bad if you collide with an xc90 your pretty dead,same with all jeeps. A smaller car has no chance against a big car.

  • Oh my, I saw your ...

    Oh 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.

  • Yes, I remember ...

    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. :-(

  • Its a very nice and ...

    Its 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

    That 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.

    I 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.

  • If you like ...

    If you like replacing Tires every 23,000-25,000 miles along with Rear Brake Pads and Rotors $481.00 Front Pads and Rotors $515.00. 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.

  • I'm a huge Volvo ...

    I'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.

  • The top corners of ...

    The 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.
