What System Does Volvo Use for Safety Performance?
2 Answers
Volvo's safety performance utilizes the enhanced City Safety system. The City Safety system consists of core systems including SIPS side impact protection, WHIPS headrest, ASC pre-stability control system, DSTC dynamic stability system, EBA emergency brake assist system, and HLA hill start assist system. All Volvo models are equipped with a full-force automatic braking pedestrian and bicycle collision safety system, DAS driver alert control system, LDW lane departure warning system, ACC adaptive cruise control with queue assist, enhanced BLIS blind spot information system, CTA rear cross traffic alert system, CVW vehicle approach warning, and FAHB active high beam.
I've been driving the Volvo XC90 for over three years and can speak with authority about its safety systems. Volvo's core active safety system is called City Safety, which automatically detects pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles. It has helped me perform emergency braking several times during city traffic jams. This system also works at night using infrared cameras. The Blind Spot Monitoring System lights up to alert me when changing lanes on highways. The Road Departure Prevention System automatically corrects the steering when drifting on national highways. The body is made of ultra-high-strength boron steel, several times harder than ordinary cars, like a moving safety cage. There are dual air curtains in both front and rear rows, providing protection even in side collisions. Safety design is deeply ingrained in Volvo's DNA, making me feel particularly at ease when driving my family around.
