Recently, the 2014 Volvo XC90 luxury SUV was named a TOP SAFETY PICK+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This is one of the top awards from this reputable agency, and we are thrilled with the recognition. In order to be named a TOP SAFETY PICK+, vehicles undergo a series of crashworthiness evaluations, such as small overlap front test. The 2014 Volvo XC90 performed exceedingly well in all tests, and we could not be more proud.
In a statement about the 2014 Volvo XC90, the IIHS had this to say:
"The XC90's structural performance was good in the small overlap front test, and the driver's space was maintained well. ... While many vehicles have had to undergo significant structural changes to earn good ratings in the small overlap test, the XC90 has had the same basic platform since 2003."
Tony Nicolosi, who is Volvo Cars of North America President and CEO, had this to say about the recognition:
"In a competitive marketplace where every brand tries to stake its own claim to safety, Volvo continues to affirm our leadership. ... We very much appreciate the attention IIHS gives to real-life scenarios such as small overlap collisions and are proud of the XC90's performance."
