Volvo XC90 and XC90 PHEV Receive Top Ratings in US Crash Safety Tests
Volvo Cars' large sport utility vehicle (SUV) XC90 and XC90 Recharge plug-in hybrid (PHEV) have been awarded the highest rating in the U.S. crash safety tests.
On the 28th, Volvo Cars announced that the XC90 and XC90 Recharge PHEV were selected as 'Top Safety Pick Plus (TSP+)' in the crash safety tests conducted by IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) in the United States.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is a nonprofit research and education organization established in 1959 with the goal of reducing deaths, injuries, and property damage caused by automobile crashes. It conducts rigorous tests on new vehicles released in the North American market at its state-of-the-art vehicle research center.

In this test, IIHS strengthened the conditions for obtaining TSP and TSP+ ratings. The crash energy for side impact protection was increased by 82% compared to before, and especially for the TSP+ rating, a nighttime pedestrian front collision prevention test was added.
Despite the enhanced IIHS tests, Volvo Cars' XC90 and XC90 Recharge PHEV received the TSP+ rating. These vehicles are iconic models that first applied Volvo's safety systems such as rollover prevention system, intersection collision detection and emergency braking system, and lane departure protection system.
Osa Haglund, head of the Volvo Cars Safety Center, said, "The Volvo Cars XC90 has been proven every year through credible tests such as those by IIHS to be one of the safest vehicles on the road."
