Volvo’s XC60 has been named the safest car of 2017 in a recent industry award.
The Euro NCAP awards praised the SUV for its extensive range of safety features as it achieved almost top marks in a series of tests.
According to NCAP, the car achieved 95 per cent in the safety assistance tests and 98 per cent in adult occupancy safety.
Malin Ekholm, vice president at Volvo Cars Safety Centre, said: “The new XC60 is one of the safest Volvo cars ever made.
“It is fully loaded with new technology designed to assist drivers, to help protect vehicle occupants and other road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, plus mitigate collision risks.
“We are proud that our ongoing commitment to innovating new safety features has been recognised with another Euro NCAP Best in Class award for Volvo Cars.”
