To earn a TOP SAFETY PICK+ title, vehicles must earn good ratings for occupant protection in at least four of five evaluations on frontal crash, small overlap frontal crash, side impact and rollover, with no less than acceptable in the fifth test.
Not long ago, the Volvo S60 was one of the first vehicles to earn the TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation and now we're thrilled to report that 2013 Volvo XC60 joined the ranks as well! With this, the Volvo XC60 became the first and only luxury SUV to be named a TOP SAFETY PICK+! This also makes Volvo the only brand to have two vehicles with this title! We could not be more proud!
VCNA President and CEO, John Maloney, had this to say about the achievement:
"We're so confident in our safety heritage that we went ahead and volunteered the XC60 for the test. … We don't design our vehicles to pass a specific crash test; we design them to pass the most important test of all, everyday life."
