Here at your trusted local Volvo dealer, we always place safety atop our list of priorities for drivers and passengers. We're pleased to always be able to offer top levels of protection in our vehicles, and are proud when we are recognized for doing so. Today we'd like to share news about two of our vehicles that were recently recognized, and we hope you'll read on to learn more.

While all of our Volvo vehicles are able to boast leading safety ratings, we're especially pleased to share news about the new Volvo S60 and Volvo XC60. Both of these models recently earned ratings of "superior" in one of the newest testing programs for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). These tests are designed to look at front crash-prevention systems and examine cars equipped with auto brake and forward collision warning. We are thrilled to have had these models perform so well because you deserve superior protection.

In addition to this news, we are happy to report that of the 74 moderately priced and luxury midsize cars and SUVs that were test, the Volvo City Safety system was the only low-speed crash prevention system in the test to be offered as a standard feature.

Here's what Thomas Broberg, senior safety advisor at Volvo Car Group, had to say:

"We welcome that the major rating institutes now begin to integrate collision avoidance technologies in their testing programs. This will give consumers better insight into the advantages of auto brake systems."

For more information about these or other top safety rated vehicles from Volvo, we hope that you'll come see us here at Fields Volvo Northfield. For drivers in and around Chicago, Volvo S60 and Volvo XC60 models are always available here for you to drive away in today. Our team of specialists will work patiently with you to help you find your perfect model, and we hope to get started with you soon!
