We've always approached safety through research and used data to inform our decisions. Since the 1970s, we have analysed over 43,000 cars from real-life collisions involving over 72,000 occupants.
Dr. Lotta Jakobsson, senior technical leader at Volvo Cars Safety Centre.
Since we introduced the safety belt more than 60 years ago, it has saved over one million lives. In all types of crashes, it offers great protection for occupants regardless of size, gender or body shape.
Volvo Cars’ safety features complement safe driving practices and are not intended to enable or encourage distracted, aggressive, or otherwise unsafe or illegal driving. Ultimately, the driver is responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle at all times. Described features may be optional and availability may vary from one country to another.
