Test details:

The Volvo XC90 was introduced in the 2003 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the head hit the A-pillar and the roof rail.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. Head acceleration from the A-pillar/roof rail hit was low.

@CoreyForeside it looks average, but there is never an intrusion inside in a crash and there are additional crumple zones left after the crash so it will absorb even more forces (like crashing at higher speeds) without bending rock solid safety cage.

+ since 1st volvo s80, there is a huge array of sensors all over volvo cars to make sure occupants evade or minimize injuries.

for example, laguna fares better than s60 in ncap, but in 100kmh crash, laguna occupants die, volvo's survive.

Volvo forever

Where did the whole "Volvo cars are the safest" thing come from? From what I've seen they usually perform average or below average...

this powder thing is not imporatant. important is that the Volvo is still freakin safe.

its probably airbag smoke, and the outlander just has different airbags. I wouldn't worry about smoke anyways as long as there is no fire.
