The 2024 Volvo XC90 midsize luxury SUV earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) ‘s 2024 Top Safety Pick+ award.
To earn the Institute’s highest safety award, a vehicle must pass a series of crash test evaluations, including the new and stricter version of the moderate overlap test, the small overlap front and updated side tests, the pedestrian front crash prevention test, and headlight assessment.
The moderate overlap test, updated in 2022, incorporates new metrics. It emphasizes rear safety by replicating what would happen in a frontal offset crash between two vehicles of the same weight, traveling just under 40 miles per hour.
In Its Evaluation of the Volvo XC90, the IIHS Concluded:
- Solid structural performance in the updated moderate overlap test
- Excellent passenger protection for the driver
- Good ratings in the small overlap front and updated side tests
The updated evaluation focuses on injuries most frequently seen in rear-seat occupants, and based on extensive testing, the IIHS found that the XC90 met their requirements.
The award-winning XC90 features six or seven seats, offering all passengers premium comfort. Critical to Volvo Cars’ complete lineup, the Volvo XC90 is designed to help keep occupants safe and comes with various safety features such as forward collision warnings, automated emergency braking, lane-keeping aid, and lane departure warning.
