SAFET Y Protective
In a Volvo, safety is about interaction. Because it’s not the number of
safety features that determines how safe a car is. It’s how well they
seamlessly interact to help keep the occupants out of harm’s way.
In a rear impact the rear deformation zones will
help absorb crash energy. The fuel tank is designed
to remain well protected in front of the rear axle.
The head restraints help protect the neck and
spine, and Volvo’s unique Whiplash Protection
System (WHIPS) cradles the front seat occupants
in a controlled manner to help prevent whiplash

In a frontal collision the patented frontal

crash energy. The compact power train is designed
to help optimise deformation. Inside the car, safety
belts interact with the collapsible steering column
and dual-stage airbags to help keep the occupants
out of harm’s way. A lower cross member helps
protect occupants in an oncoming car with lower
positioned bumpers.
