Volvo S80 earns "2007 TOP SAFETY PICKS" rating

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has awarded the Volvo S80 with the 2007 TOP SAFETY PICK Award for superior overall crash protection. The S80 qualifies because it's rated “Good” in the Institute's front, side, and rear tests and has electronic stability control as standard equipment. IIHS Ratings of Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Poor are based on a crash test in which the tested vehicle is struck in the side at a speed of 31 mph.

Volvo has always been a leader in protective safety and the Volvo S80 is no exception. A tailor-made safety cage and space-saving powertrain combine to minimize the intrusion into the cabin in the event of a collision. The S80 3.2 features a 235 Hp 3.2L six-cylinder engine, available only in front-wheel drive, and has an estimated fuel economy of 16 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. The high-end S80 AWD features a 4.4-liter engine which delivers power through Volvo's Instant Traction all-wheel drive (AWD). The S80 AWD has an estimated fuel economy of 15 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway.

The S80 is the first Volvo to feature adaptive cruise control with Collision Warning and Brake Support designed to warn the driver and lessen the severity of an impact in a collision. Volvo will also be introducing the Personal Car Communicator which not only acts as a keyless starter, but also as an interactive security system and personal safety device.
