Volvo became the only US brand to achieve the highest level of safety across all of its products in 2021.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded Volvo with the Top Safety Pick Plus award for all its vehicles. This award confirms the safety of each car in various crash tests.

For a vehicle manufacturer that sells most of its vehicles to people with families or anyone, qualifying the vehicle as Top Safety Pick Plus Award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety this is a big problem.

IIHS awards are critical, especially for brands like Volvo who build their cars with the idea that their cars are the safest on the road.

However, you must know that Currently, Volvo is the only automaker in the US whose entire model line has received the coveted safety award.. That's right, every 2021 Volvo model has an IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus rating.

These days, getting a Top Safety Pick Plus also requires more than safety in the event of a crash, although that is obviously the core of what the IIHS is aiming for.

It also means being able to avoid an accident in the first place. That's why the IIHS places such importance on cars with Fair or Best Available rated headlights, which is required to win the award, but these headlights must be standard on all trim levels to qualify for Plus.

What other aspects does the IIHS consider when awarding an award?

IIHS also considers it necessary have excellent accident mitigation technology vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to pedestrian. Consider automatic emergency braking. Volvo was one of the first companies to offer a car with automatic emergency braking as part of its City Safety system on the original XC60, so you have plenty of practice here too.

So even though the world we live in is scary and constantly changing, some things stay the same, the bottom line is that they are still very safe cars.

This distinction puts the rest of the car brands in a critical position because, as we mentioned, none of them have that kind of recognition across their entire range of cars, without a doubt, Volvo sets the bar high for car manufacturers, whether they are electric. or internal combustion, finally, what matters here is the safety offered by cars, not only to move you from one place to another, but also to protect you in the event of a terrible accident on the road.
