Volvo XC90 heads 2015 Euro NCAP Best in Class

[nggallery id=1925 template=customlinks]

The Volvo XC90 leads the way as Euro NCAP reveals the ‘Best in Class Cars of 2015’ after its 5 star result and 100% Safety Assist rating.

When Euro NCAP – the body which tests cars for safety in the UK and Europe – tested the Volvo XC90 in the summer, the results were remarkable.

Despite testing criteria getting tougher in the 2015 tests, the XC90 managed to score 100 per cent in the Safety Assist category, 97 per cent for Adult occupancy and 87 per cent for Child Occupancy, a result that meant the XC90 got a well deserved five star rating.

The impressive test results for the XC90 means it ended up Best in Class for 2015 in the Large Off Road and Performance categories, which isn’t going to do the already impressive sales of the XC90 any harm at all.

Volvo’s Jan Ivarsson said:

The XC90 embodies everything that Volvo Cars stands for, and this is further proof of our continuing leadership in the field of both active and passive safety systems.
Our vision is that by 2020 no-one should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car. With the latest safety and semi-autonomous drive functionalities in the XC90, we are well on our way to fulfilling that vision.

But it’s not just the XC90 that did well in the 2015 NCAP tests, and although none of the other ‘Best in Class’ winners came close to the XC90’s score, their success in making driving as safe as possible should see them on your ‘potential buy’ list.
