- This Is why Volvo is the safest car, watch this Volvo Cars Safety Centre
On average, it crashes at least one brand new Volvo a day. And it has been instrumental in preserving Volvo Cars’ position as a leader in automotive safety to this very day.
This year, the Volvo Cars Safety Centre crash lab celebrates its 20th anniversary. At the time of its opening by the Swedish king, in 2000, it was one of the most advanced crash labs in the world and in many ways it still is today.
To this very day it helps Volvo Cars engineers to push the envelope in safety and to learn from real-life traffic accidents, as the company aims for a future in which no one is killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo.
“Being committed to safety is not about passing a test or getting a safety rating,” said Thomas Broberg, one of Volvo Cars’ leading safety engineers and a two-decade company veteran. “Our commitment to safety is about finding out how and why accidents and injuries occur and then developing the technology to help prevent them. We hope our pioneering work will inspire others to follow, our ambition to reduce road traffic casualties world wide.”
The Volvo Cars Safety Centre crash lab is a multifunctional facility that allows Volvo Cars safety engineers to recreate countless traffic situations and accidents, and perform tests that go beyond regulatory requirements.
The lab contains two test tracks of 108 and 154 metres long respectively. The shorter of the two is moveable and can be positioned at an angle between 0 and 90 degrees, allowing for crash test at different angles and speeds, or to simulate a crash between two moving cars. Cars can be crashed at speeds up to 120 km/h.
Outside, there is room for performing tests like roll-over crashes and run-off road scenarios, whereby cars are launched into a ditch at high speeds. Here, Volvo Cars also offers rescue services opportunities to hone their life-saving skills, as it did earlier this year when it dropped new Volvos from a height of 30 metres to simulate the heavy damage found in extreme crash scenarios.
Inside the main hall, an enormous crash barrier is used for testing various frontal, rear and side impacts. Weighing an astonishing 850 tonnes, it can be moved around if needed with the help of air cushions.
Additionally, there are around two dozen other fixed and movable barriers that are used in crash testing, including a moose-like structure to simulate crashes involving these animals.
During crashes, the car, the crash test dummies and the barriers are fitted with sensors that allow Volvo Cars engineers to register the entire chain of events in detail. Dozens of ultra-high definition cameras also film the crash test from every angle imaginable.
Before a physical crash test, the car model in question has already gone through thousands of computer simulated crash tests. All the data generated by these test is then used by Volvo’s engineers to develop safer cars.
As the company moves towards an all-electric future, the Safety Centre has in recent years been equipped and prepared specifically to safely execute electric car crash tests as well.
“No matter what the scenario, we can recreate it here at the Volvo Cars Safety Centre and analyse it in detail,” said Thomas Broberg. “For me it is very inspiring to realise that for every hour of testing and analysis we put in, we get closer and closer to our ambition that no one should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo.”

Thank you VOLVO for making safe cars and making car safety important matter for everybody 🙏
today - at the age of 51 - I've bought my first volvo car in my life. the tradition of saFety of this company, the care that volvo gives to this matter, has led me to choose volvo . thank you very much for your daily work - you makes us feel more safe everytime we get on board. thanks again. from italy .
Alberto, you have made the correct choice. Volvo is the safest car in the world!
currently repairing a T-boned xc40. I can tell you without doubt the safest and strongest car I have ever worked on. It has taken me 5x longer to repair then with equal damage on another brand. We have personally switched from VW/Audi group to all volvos in our household
I thought T boned cars got scrapped. Will that car ever be as safe as when it was new?
There is an OEM repair procedure available for rocker damage this includes repairing it with OEM approved tools such as spotwelders, applicable glues, etc. My personal rule of thumb. If the car has no inner rocker damage it’s ok to be repaired. Any types of floor creases or inner rocker damage is a severe no go.
I have no doubt it will be as safe as before
@@horvath14041984 that's really interesting and thank you for explaining as it makes sense.
I had a 2004 V70 D5 and about 2 years ago I had an accident as I rear ended a Nissan Juke who had stalled its engine leaving a roundabout at about 20 mph or 35 km/h. Airbags went of as did the belt tensioners. Had a cracked windscreen and some plastic at the and car was drivable but as the repair would've been more expensive than what it was worth the insurance deemed it unfixable. However, with your example above, had it been a newer V70 it would most likely have been repaired.
Thank you again for your info. 👍
@@VinDieselS70 it actually depends on the coutry you are in and how the Insurance works. I noticed in America and Europe at least a lot of cars are written off or totalled by a minor bump etc.
While in countries like Malaysia where I'm at, labour and parts are cheap, so most damages that can be fixed will be fixed up by body shops authorised by the Insurance. While newer cars would be fixed by the dealers as part of their warranty.
@@silverspiritveritas112 that explains a lot then as this is the first time I've heard about repairing accident damaged car like you say. Thank you for clarifying 👍
I’ve been dreaming on being able to buy a Volvo SUV. God I am obsessed with how sleek they look but love seeing how safe they are too. Hopefully I could afford one, one day.
buy a used one but make sure that person took care of it. These are great cars but they are neglected a lot. buy one newer than 2006 if you want a newer one. Avoid 2000-2005 especially ones with the GM transmissions in those early years unless of course if they are rebuilt with paper work.
Akexis, I have the xc40, love it and worth the money.
Get a used one they don't hold their value also Volvo's age pretty well so old models don't look that bad.
My family have 3, had 2...
I bought a used 2016 xc60 T6 but it’s only FWD though….
I would personally like to thank Volvo for saving lives. Volvo are the best cars in the world. I have owned Mercedes, BMW and Volvo. The Volvo is the best and the safest. God bless Volvo. God Bless America!!!
up until three weeks ago i had a 2004 cx90 t6. it was a tank and I loved it. a kid (driving a Denali) cut across my lane and that was the end of my car. i hit her head on (T-boned) and the front of my car crumbled like and accordion, but as it should the front absorbed all of the impact and the accordion stopped just at the front tires leaving me and the rest of the car fully intact. there is no question that my Volvo saved my life.
Just like a Saab saved mine 30 years ago. Sweden makes great cars.
Я хочу купить машину и смотрю только вольво.... Мне ненужны понты либо что другое я хочу просто безопасно ездить.
Its still a Swedish company, its just owned by a Chinese investors company. That's it, that's what they do, invest. Its volvo who develops and produces the vehicles.
But they also build cars in China, which is not ok for everybody. I know that lot of manufacturers have factories in China, but only for China market. You simply can not buy BMW "made in China" in EU or USA.
Developers are always influenced and controlled by the investors in the modern capitalism period.
@@PetrB Volvos sold outside of Asia are made in the plant in Sweden. The S60 is the exception, which I believe is manufactured in the US. Volvos sold in the US and Europe are made in Gothenburg, Sweden.
@@CeldurantSB From what I know, V90 or S90 (one of them) is manufactured in China also for EU market.
@@PetrB both of those also manufactured in Sweden as well. Don't know what the distribution is like for various EU markets, but US and EU markets are certainly not exclusively made in China as some people have tried to suggest
This is why Ive returned back to VOLVO after a 35 year break . Nearly all the trucks ive driven have nearly all VOLVO , I own now a V70 ,35 years ago I had a 245 DL .Beautiful Cars
Very Upsetting watching these Beautiful Cars smashed up .
Volvo of today are Geely dressed in Scandinavian skin
@@AdolfHitler-si3ze bmw fan i see!
I will drive nothing else than a Volvo as safety is the most important thing and the ethos of Volvo is based around maximum safety for the people inside their cars. Not only are their cars the safest, they are also in my view the most comfortable and well designed inside. All the car reviews one sees online just focus on speed, cornering etc, top speed etc., and never mention safety, which is a really puzzling thing. Some of the US brands (incl. Tesla) are trying hard to boast safety - particularly in view of the self-driving trend - but the US cars are completely hopeless and don't even come close to Volvo on safety. Volvo puts safety above achieving maximum profits, while other brands merely create the illusion of safety.
I can attest the comfort and quality of the interior. Was sitting in a Volvo limousine after sitting in the highest end Mercedes they had at this car show and I liked the Volvo a lot more
I've just bought an old Volvo V50 - it was an emergency solution as I needed a car for my work and didn't have much money at the moment - and I really like it. Nice to drive, 12 years old but still looks good, it works properly and doesn't make any problems. My only issue: it's too small. I'm about to buy an XC90 next year.
I have a 2017 XC90 T8 Plug In Hybrid Inscription Pro purchased with £40,000 off list price being 4 years old. When I test drove a VW Taureg and went to BMW sytner showroom for the X7 and said " Do you use Boron Steel like Volvo? It's 5 times stronger than normal steel in cars", the sales men at BMW and VW panicked and avoided the question. Without knowing it they also answered the question. I bought the Volvo XC90. Not a driver goes by in a X5 or X7 or Taureg they stop to look at the XC90 and the look on their faces says everything "I wish I had that". Volvo deserve every penny of our income for putting safety 1st.
Saab used boron steel. Like Volvo, superlative build quality....Both safer than all the rest...NCAP is not only metric to use in real world..
I have an XC60 Ultimate 2023. I have owned Porsche BMW and Mercedes cars. This Volvo has build quality that is second to none. It may have been built in China but the quality control is excellent.
I love you Volvo, I love you my Family!
Wow great video & testimony to all the years of Volvos’s safety. Reason why you would pay for safety first & foremost!
This is why I own a Volvo. S60 Inscription.
What do you say we get our Volvo's together! Lol ;)
My 2021 XC40 has prevented 2 backing accidents with the CTA, and one near collision on the highway. I would never drive any other brand.
Incredible. No other car manufacturer does anything like this. Just the minimum it takes to get a good rating in the government and third party crash tests
Subaru is excellent on passive safety too.
Without doubt Volvos are very very well built and the best interiors in the business.. A bit expensive but what price can be put on your life?
Insurance companies do it all the time! Lol
its a premium brand
@@skullfucker3381 At a premium price!
@@bobjohnson205 yes way to expensive now
May God bless you people of Volvo.
I've had performance cars, budget brands, different sizes, etc. Bottom line is, the one thing you should really buy a car for is the one thing you hope you never have to test. Will it keep you safe.
Now own a 3 yr old V40 hatch. Not quick (but quick enough) but doing on call work and driving through the night, etc, that thing has kept me out of trouble and almost certainly stopped me from having a few bad smashes.
been driving XC90 from
Old to the new for year's best car all round it's a beast 👌
I love the safety of the XC90 over my XC40, however, when i was in the XC90, it was just too big of a vehicle for me to feel confident to safely navigate.... As it is, i don't really feel "in my own skin" with the XC40, but, in recent years, seems that is all the dealerships are really stocking now. I used to love my 2004 S80, however, after a T-Bone crash on the driver's side (thanks to an a-hole who flew over my green light) made me question my entire faith in Volvo as a safe car.... Yes, i lived, however, i'm dealing with a lot of serious fallout now and am going to physical therapy at least two [2] times a week.
I'm driving a 2021 XC40 in retirement. It's my 5th Volvo. I have great comfort in driving a safe and fun to drive Volvos.
Excelente compañia, quien invierte en seguridad para sus usuarios felicitaciones
Many repairers have said volvo metals are a lot harder and take a lot longer to repair.
I got hit on passenger side in my 2010 xc60 by an mitsubishi suv outlander doing about 70 kmh.
Damaged the passenger door, front left guard, and left front wheel was bent. The amazing thing was the left front was still able to open as normal. There was no intrusion into the passenger area. The other car looked like it had hit a pole. Both cars were written off. Have my 2nd xc60 now, my brothers on his 2nd xc90 and mum in her 80s still driving a 240gle. If you are considering safety as priority and a new volvo is out of budget should consider a 2nd hand late model.
Volvos before Geely buyout were great
@@AdolfHitler-si3ze what’s wrong with them now ?
The only thing I don’t like about my 2016 xc60 is the sunroof, I don’t know how safe that will be incase of a roll over….
This is why I’m on my seventh Volvo. 👍
I'm on my tenth and have never had to test the safety features.
@@Bruce-1956 I'm on number 4 and have had to test them 3 times! Stupid drivers! Lol
This is the reason why I have decided to buy a Volvo XC90.
I have one (had the previous XC90 and it lasted 16 years, loved that car....changed it few months ago with the new version and I'm very happy) , we always had Volvos in our family and NEVER gave us problems, it's trustworthy, unproblematic, extremely safe and a low maintenance costs SUV and cars. The best car brand out there. Love Volvo. You'll be happy with it and it's the best investment.
I've had so many Volvo's, from a 240 estate in the early 90s, 440, 480, S40, V40, S60, V70 first XC90, new XC90, now a v60cc, absolutely loved every one of them. Not one has ever let me down. Running and servicing costs. Safe, reliable and now ultra smart looking.
@@cundycross 👍🏻🔝
Such a great video, thanks a lot
Even before seeing this my decision is made to get a Volvo as my next car. Still recovering from being T-boned while doing 30mph in a Vorsprung edition Audi, 6mnths old and now it's been declared a write off.
As well as the physical injury, I've also taken a knock in confidence, there was nothing I could do, no braking or change of direction. That car had every safety option on it, but getting whacked in the side by a SUV made me realise the importance of side impact protection. So it's a Volvo for me when I get back on the road.
Amazing
Bravo Volvo 💪👍👍👍
Would love to see same security on all cars, so on cheaper ones too. Here Volvo is still quite an expensive brand even at entry level, like other big names, I feel sorry that people has to buy a less safe car only because cannot afford to pay more. Security should have no price tag and come top notch with all brands. But is not happening.
cars like the toyota camry are still very safe already. It’s just that Volvos are safer, and it also markets its car towards being safe, which highlights the safety of volvo cars
You can try Subaru. It was once the ONLY manufacturer to receive Top Safety pick for every single model, not even Volvo has that. Also, I've heard from many firefighters that had to extract people from crashes that they believe the Subaru structure is really safe. A lot of firefighter training specifically source Subarus to train on, and they have Subaru specific cutting procedures because of how tough its pillars are. And they're cheaper than Volvos.
@@gwot Volvo does actually have that. I have a 2011 S80, and every single P3 model S80 has a top safety pick rating, with the newer of the line having + ratings.
Volvo is very helpful to other manufacturers too. They created the 3 point seatbelt system that they allowed everyone to use, so that any car can be safer.
@@samjackson7701 I said "once", cuz pre 2010, the S60 was NOT a top safety pick, so Volvo did not have all cars with Top Safety Pick, it got an acceptable side crash. But not bashing on Volvo, cuz both Volvo and Subaru have top safety picks on all their cars now
Love my volvo v40 I have bought a very solid car and feel happy driving my family around in the car. Only the other day I had the brakes come on because I had a car overtake then realised he was in wrong lane to cut back in volvo I thank you
Very happy with my 2021 XC60!!!!
The best safety car that is why Volvo for life.
Love Volvo 🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪
I crashed a 240 and a 262C. Both saved my life!
Volvo for family car! powerful and safe
That black v60 looks nice
Volvo did a open patent for the seatbelt so every manufacturer could use it for free in their cars. Seatbelt has saved over 1 milion lifes according to a Uk study.
Maybe a bit conservative in construction, little boring in design and not "fancy" but always solid, reliable, comfortable and concentrated on safety, comfort and precission. Volvo puts on the 1st line only life tested values. I love Volvo for their philosophy of crafting super everyday cars. The day I got my 1st new Volvo was one of my best days in my life. I was driving many cars but Volvo is supersolid.
Volvo was always equal to a tank. I am 56 and I remember in my teens all those older models built like a tank. I love the XC90, but I am worried buying one due to issues with electronics and with the touch screen. Not sure if it was ever addressed. Its a shame that they are so expensive. I am not surprised. Volvo these days have a big challenge, competing with the Chinese automakers.
Their largest challenge is with the US car company Tesla. It is the company that has thoroughly dethroned them as “safest Car” with their entire line up.
@el060248 I saw an article about the center console screen having sensitivity issues and the 90 model is rated low in reliability.
The old Volvo 240 & 850 yes. New Volvos are essentially Geely cars that uses a different skin, just like Kia on Hyundai DNA
Volvo is Chinese.
Thats true, XC90 are safe but the engine is very bad, At the yearly technical inspection, we need to check the turbo for mechanical clearance.
One car crash a day for 20 years:
365*20 = 7.300 cars. If each car costs 10.000$ to produce, that would be 73.000.000$ of costs. And that excludes all the people that set up and analysed the crash tests.
All to the benefit of other manufacturers too.
Thanks volvo for your effort towards safety.. Hopefully one day i will afford to buy one.. Volvo here are crazy expensive
I've been driving Volvo for 35 years and always feel safe. Unfortunately the quality of Volvo's during the Ford period was pretty bad, leaking windscreens for one.
And went up today

great video .... how about facing an horse and going 110kms/hr on a highway ? will the volvo protect from crashing into the horse at a dark night???
RIP Volvo Cars ! 03:40
My late husband would crash a car every two weeks. He had no insurance. He would drive like he stole it. Most WERE stolen because he had no license.
But oh! what a lover!
because it will break down before any crash
Torslanda, Gothenburg, Sweden !
Well, my next car will definitely be a volvo
It would be consistent to sell all cars with maximum safety tools
I've got V40 from 2014. But I can't look at destroying these beautiful cars. It feels like some kind of waste these cars.
I can’t imagine how much this has to cost to maintain (and all the wasted cars!)
But it's necessary
I recalled an XC90 from 2007 (company car) that had its turbocharger replaced. Costs like AUD4k. Crazy prices
Not to worry. Most of that damage you see will buff right out! Lol
Welded in roll frame for monster trucks?
damn do they have to use the ones with the B&W sound system? Shesh if they don't want it I will gladly take it. Joking aside, I do wonder why they are using the Ultimate versions, instead of just the base models.
Am I the only one hearing the music from the "Twilight" playing in the background?

I have two Volvo cars and like both of them, One is a Volvo v50 the other a Volvo xc40, It would be interesting to see how the Volvo v50 performs in these crash tests bearing in mind it is a ford focus disguised as a Volvo ??

If all cars were self-driving, would it be safer if all the seats are rearward facing too, and possibly no airbags required?
Yes
Depends on the collision, if it happens at all. Assuming all cars were self-driving (like literally 80% - 95%) and they all somehow communicated with each other, then there likely wouldn't even be any more accidents.
Any possibility Volvo can work on bolstering the safety in the event of the side-impact crash on the driver's side? I was unfortunately on the receiving end of that (of a maniac that completely disregarded the rules of the road), and, although i walked away, i am still dealing with some significant fallout over six [6] months later. What also immensely concerns me now, in addition to having to put up with the Hummers on the road, we will soon have Tesla's Cybertruck which looks like it belongs on the battlefield. Perhaps Volvo can look into creating their vehicles with an even stronger safety cage to compensate for whatever impact that monstrosity will have. I wonder if Congress will seek to issue legislation limiting the "Cybertruck" as an impact with that thing (from what i've seen in preliminary crash data) looks ghastly to say the least....
It's owned by Chinese state now, the Swedish should buy back this before all the technology being transferred to China.
Volvo share their safety technology FOC to other manufacturers.
They literally publish all their safety information and tests so any manufacturer can use them to make their cars better. The fact that other manufacturers aren't on par with them in terms of safety just goes to show that other manufacturers just care about making profits and selling the most cars they can.
2:32 that was a tank!
It is important!! But, Volvo, you can't always just focus on safety. Performance, reliability are also important to improve!!!!!!!!!
Now imagine the price
With safety comes weight.. And weight automatically puts you out of the performance 'competition' with other brands so why would they focus on performance. And i don't know what you drive or have driven but a volvo with awd is pretty darn fast
@@brayvdb2191 does Volvo have better performance than German brands? Does it have better reliability than Japanese brands? If you think yes, I got nothing to say. If you think Volvo has reached it's summit in the market. Then don't bother to compete with others!!
@@daw7563 the current Volvo can't compare to the previous ones. The quality needs to be improved to against other brands. IF the company wants to moving forward in the market. The competitors will not be easy to compete.
@@daw7563 the market resources ...
Take a look at the sales of Japanese brands.... Who don't trust the reliability of it? How could V come and compete with them if they only focus on safety?
Why can’t other car makers do this? What is it that Volvo has that option to make safe cars that others done? And still have cheap affordable cars with luxury features
They was safe - comparing to other cars. Now in top 10 most safe cars.. there is no even one Volvo model.
My dream car
To absorb the crash energy, the cabin should not be too stiffy. If the cabin is too stiffy, then the energy of the impact comes to the passengers. It only needs the minimum stiffness of keeping the safety shell of passengers. Imagine if you are in a rubber ball or a stiffy steel ball. Which situation do you think you are safe in? I think the cabin of Volvo cars are too stiffy. The bonnet of the car which was designed to absorb the impact even looks too stiffy.
