Eleven Volvo car models have earned five stars, the highest possible safety rating, from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) for 2021.
Volvo has a long history as a leader in passenger vehicle safety innovation. In 1959, the company introduced the three-point safety belt, one of the most important pieces of safety equipment ever invented.
Since then Volvo has introduced many more world firsts in safety, including the Rearward-facing child seat (1972), Side Impact Protection System (1991), Whiplash Protection System (1998), the Inflatable Curtain (1998), Roll Stability Control (2002), Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake (2010), Run-off Road Protection (2014), and more. It is estimated these innovations have saved more than one million lives.
The following Volvo models received 5-Star ratings:
- 2021 Volvo S60 T5
- 2021 Volvo S60 T6 AWD
- 2021 Volvo V60 T5
