currently repairing a T-boned xc40. I can tell you without doubt the safest and strongest car I have ever worked on. It has taken me 5x longer to repair then with equal damage on another brand. We have personally switched from VW/Audi group to all volvos in our household
There is an OEM repair procedure available for rocker damage this includes repairing it with OEM approved tools such as spotwelders, applicable glues, etc. My personal rule of thumb. If the car has no inner rocker damage it’s ok to be repaired. Any types of floor creases or inner rocker damage is a severe no go. I have no doubt it will be as safe as before
@@horvath14041984 that's really interesting and thank you for explaining as it makes sense. I had a 2004 V70 D5 and about 2 years ago I had an accident as I rear ended a Nissan Juke who had stalled its engine leaving a roundabout at about 20 mph or 35 km/h. Airbags went of as did the belt tensioners. Had a cracked windscreen and some plastic at the and car was drivable but as the repair would've been more expensive than what it was worth the insurance deemed it unfixable. However, with your example above, had it been a newer V70 it would most likely have been repaired. Thank you again for your info. 👍
@@VinDieselS70 it actually depends on the coutry you are in and how the Insurance works. I noticed in America and Europe at least a lot of cars are written off or totalled by a minor bump etc. While in countries like Malaysia where I'm at, labour and parts are cheap, so most damages that can be fixed will be fixed up by body shops authorised by the Insurance. While newer cars would be fixed by the dealers as part of their warranty.
@@silverelgrandlow6298 that explains a lot then as this is the first time I've heard about repairing accident damaged car like you say. Thank you for clarifying 👍
today - at the age of 51 - I've bought my first volvo car in my life. the tradition of saFety of this company, the care that volvo gives to this matter, has led me to choose volvo . thank you very much for your daily work - you makes us feel more safe everytime we get on board. thanks again. from italy .
I’ve been dreaming on being able to buy a Volvo SUV. God I am obsessed with how sleek they look but love seeing how safe they are too. Hopefully I could afford one, one day.
buy a used one but make sure that person took care of it. These are great cars but they are neglected a lot. buy one newer than 2006 if you want a newer one. Avoid 2000-2005 especially ones with the GM transmissions in those early years unless of course if they are rebuilt with paper work.
up until three weeks ago i had a 2004 cx90 t6. it was a tank and I loved it. a kid (driving a Denali) cut across my lane and that was the end of my car. i hit her head on (T-boned) and the front of my car crumbled like and accordion, but as it should the front absorbed all of the impact and the accordion stopped just at the front tires leaving me and the rest of the car fully intact. there is no question that my Volvo saved my life.
Its still a Swedish company, its just owned by a Chinese investors company. That's it, that's what they do, invest. Its volvo who develops and produces the vehicles.
But they also build cars in China, which is not ok for everybody. I know that lot of manufacturers have factories in China, but only for China market. You simply can not buy BMW "made in China" in EU or USA.
@@PetrB Volvos sold outside of Asia are made in the plant in Sweden. The S60 is the exception, which I believe is manufactured in the US. Volvos sold in the US and Europe are made in Gothenburg, Sweden.
@@PetrB both of those also manufactured in Sweden as well. Don't know what the distribution is like for various EU markets, but US and EU markets are certainly not exclusively made in China as some people have tried to suggest
I will drive nothing else than a Volvo as safety is the most important thing and the ethos of Volvo is based around maximum safety for the people inside their cars. Not only are their cars the safest, they are also in my view the most comfortable and well designed inside. All the car reviews one sees online just focus on speed, cornering etc, top speed etc., and never mention safety, which is a really puzzling thing. Some of the US brands (incl. Tesla) are trying hard to boast safety - particularly in view of the self-driving trend - but the US cars are completely hopeless and don't even come close to Volvo on safety. Volvo puts safety above achieving maximum profits, while other brands merely create the illusion of safety.
I can attest the comfort and quality of the interior. Was sitting in a Volvo limousine after sitting in the highest end Mercedes they had at this car show and I liked the Volvo a lot more
I would personally like to thank Volvo for saving lives. Volvo are the best cars in the world. I have owned Mercedes, BMW and Volvo. The Volvo is the best and the safest. God bless Volvo. God Bless America!!!
This is why Ive returned back to VOLVO after a 35 year break . Nearly all the trucks ive driven have nearly all VOLVO , I own now a V70 ,35 years ago I had a 245 DL .Beautiful Cars
I have a 2017 XC90 T8 Plug In Hybrid Inscription Pro purchased with £40,000 off list price being 4 years old. When I test drove a VW Taureg and went to BMW sytner showroom for the X7 and said " Do you use Boron Steel like Volvo? It's 5 times stronger than normal steel in cars", the sales men at BMW and VW panicked and avoided the question. Without knowing it they also answered the question. I bought the Volvo XC90. Not a driver goes by in a X5 or X7 or Taureg they stop to look at the XC90 and the look on their faces says everything "I wish I had that". Volvo deserve every penny of our income for putting safety 1st.
I've just bought an old Volvo V50 - it was an emergency solution as I needed a car for my work and didn't have much money at the moment - and I really like it. Nice to drive, 12 years old but still looks good, it works properly and doesn't make any problems. My only issue: it's too small. I'm about to buy an XC90 next year.
I have an XC60 Ultimate 2023. I have owned Porsche BMW and Mercedes cars. This Volvo has build quality that is second to none. It may have been built in China but the quality control is excellent.
I've had performance cars, budget brands, different sizes, etc. Bottom line is, the one thing you should really buy a car for is the one thing you hope you never have to test. Will it keep you safe. Now own a 3 yr old V40 hatch. Not quick (but quick enough) but doing on call work and driving through the night, etc, that thing has kept me out of trouble and almost certainly stopped me from having a few bad smashes.
Would love to see same security on all cars, so on cheaper ones too. Here Volvo is still quite an expensive brand even at entry level, like other big names, I feel sorry that people has to buy a less safe car only because cannot afford to pay more. Security should have no price tag and come top notch with all brands. But is not happening.
cars like the toyota camry are still very safe already. It’s just that Volvos are safer, and it also markets its car towards being safe, which highlights the safety of volvo cars
You can try Subaru. It was once the ONLY manufacturer to receive Top Safety pick for every single model, not even Volvo has that. Also, I've heard from many firefighters that had to extract people from crashes that they believe the Subaru structure is really safe. A lot of firefighter training specifically source Subarus to train on, and they have Subaru specific cutting procedures because of how tough its pillars are. And they're cheaper than Volvos.
@@gwot Volvo does actually have that. I have a 2011 S80, and every single P3 model S80 has a top safety pick rating, with the newer of the line having + ratings.
Volvo is very helpful to other manufacturers too. They created the 3 point seatbelt system that they allowed everyone to use, so that any car can be safer.
@@samjackson7701 I said "once", cuz pre 2010, the S60 was NOT a top safety pick, so Volvo did not have all cars with Top Safety Pick, it got an acceptable side crash. But not bashing on Volvo, cuz both Volvo and Subaru have top safety picks on all their cars now
Incredible. No other car manufacturer does anything like this. Just the minimum it takes to get a good rating in the government and third party crash tests
Many repairers have said volvo metals are a lot harder and take a lot longer to repair. I got hit on passenger side in my 2010 xc60 by an mitsubishi suv outlander doing about 70 kmh. Damaged the passenger door, front left guard, and left front wheel was bent. The amazing thing was the left front was still able to open as normal. There was no intrusion into the passenger area. The other car looked like it had hit a pole. Both cars were written off. Have my 2nd xc60 now, my brothers on his 2nd xc90 and mum in her 80s still driving a 240gle. If you are considering safety as priority and a new volvo is out of budget should consider a 2nd hand late model.
I have one (had the previous XC90 and it lasted 16 years, loved that car....changed it few months ago with the new version and I'm very happy) , we always had Volvos in our family and NEVER gave us problems, it's trustworthy, unproblematic, extremely safe and a low maintenance costs SUV and cars. The best car brand out there. Love Volvo. You'll be happy with it and it's the best investment.
I've had so many Volvo's, from a 240 estate in the early 90s, 440, 480, S40, V40, S60, V70 first XC90, new XC90, now a v60cc, absolutely loved every one of them. Not one has ever let me down. Running and servicing costs. Safe, reliable and now ultra smart looking.
Love my volvo v40 I have bought a very solid car and feel happy driving my family around in the car. Only the other day I had the brakes come on because I had a car overtake then realised he was in wrong lane to cut back in volvo I thank you
Volvo was always equal to a tank. I am 56 and I remember in my teens all those older models built like a tank. I love the XC90, but I am worried buying one due to issues with electronics and with the touch screen. Not sure if it was ever addressed. Its a shame that they are so expensive. I am not surprised. Volvo these days have a big challenge, competing with the Chinese automakers.
Their largest challenge is with the US car company Tesla. It is the company that has thoroughly dethroned them as “safest Car” with their entire line up.
I've been driving Volvo for 35 years and always feel safe. Unfortunately the quality of Volvo's during the Ford period was pretty bad, leaking windscreens for one.
I love the safety of the XC90 over my XC40, however, when i was in the XC90, it was just too big of a vehicle for me to feel confident to safely navigate.... As it is, i don't really feel "in my own skin" with the XC40, but, in recent years, seems that is all the dealerships are really stocking now. I used to love my 2004 S80, however, after a T-Bone crash on the driver's side (thanks to an a-hole who flew over my green light) made me question my entire faith in Volvo as a safe car.... Yes, i lived, however, i'm dealing with a lot of serious fallout now and am going to physical therapy at least two [2] times a week.
Volvo did a open patent for the seatbelt so every manufacturer could use it for free in their cars. Seatbelt has saved over 1 milion lifes according to a Uk study.
Even before seeing this my decision is made to get a Volvo as my next car. Still recovering from being T-boned while doing 30mph in a Vorsprung edition Audi, 6mnths old and now it's been declared a write off. As well as the physical injury, I've also taken a knock in confidence, there was nothing I could do, no braking or change of direction. That car had every safety option on it, but getting whacked in the side by a SUV made me realise the importance of side impact protection. So it's a Volvo for me when I get back on the road.
One car crash a day for 20 years: 365*20 = 7.300 cars. If each car costs 10.000$ to produce, that would be 73.000.000$ of costs. And that excludes all the people that set up and analysed the crash tests.
Maybe a bit conservative in construction, little boring in design and not "fancy" but always solid, reliable, comfortable and concentrated on safety, comfort and precission. Volvo puts on the 1st line only life tested values. I love Volvo for their philosophy of crafting super everyday cars. The day I got my 1st new Volvo was one of my best days in my life. I was driving many cars but Volvo is supersolid.
Volvo is still the safest car in the world, I also have a Volvo myself and it drives me crazy when I see a scratch on my car but see this 😱😱 too bad all those beautiful cars
Les meilleures voitures au monde? Les plus sûr? Volvo a toujours été à la pointe en matière de sécurité mais avec des véhicules dont l’esthétique était discutable. Aujourd’hui sécurité au top et excellente esthétique? La classe et la sécurité! Le top. A suivre l’évolution mécanique et les tests objectifs de vlog divers.
@francois girard ça c’est votre avis. Peut-être que pas si mal finalement. Les sous et l’opportunité de garder un savoir faire et être. Critiquer c’est facile, vous pouvez prouver que ça ne vaut rien?

I was contemplating buying a BMW Mercedes Audi or a Volvo this video has helped me steer to Volvo I will be going to my dealership to test drive an XC 60
As an owner of a c30, c70, s60 and 2 xc90s I can confidently say I am volvo for life. Even the smaller cars felt heavy and sturdy. The door on the c70 felt like it weighed as much as a civic.
@@Kabilash-wb8by There are incentives for buying hybrid or fully electric cars. You also save alot in fuel costs and maintenance. Don't need to be rich to own a good car :)
@@andrewlim7751 Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of consequences when breaking terms of service from a private company, EVEN if you're the president of the United States.
Any possibility Volvo can work on bolstering the safety in the event of the side-impact crash on the driver's side? I was unfortunately on the receiving end of that (of a maniac that completely disregarded the rules of the road), and, although i walked away, i am still dealing with some significant fallout over six [6] months later. What also immensely concerns me now, in addition to having to put up with the Hummers on the road, we will soon have Tesla's Cybertruck which looks like it belongs on the battlefield. Perhaps Volvo can look into creating their vehicles with an even stronger safety cage to compensate for whatever impact that monstrosity will have. I wonder if Congress will seek to issue legislation limiting the "Cybertruck" as an impact with that thing (from what i've seen in preliminary crash data) looks ghastly to say the least....
Volvo benim kanatim geçmişteki güvenirlik ve sağlamlığı gözardı ediyor yani güvenirlik yerine güvenlik teknolojilerine sağlamlık yerine konforu önemsiyor ve bildiğiniz Volvo olmuyor hem kaliteyi hem sağlamlığı tekrar bir araya getirebilseniz çok iyi olur.
My late husband would crash a car every two weeks. He had no insurance. He would drive like he stole it. Most WERE stolen because he had no license. But oh! what a lover!
I have two Volvo cars and like both of them, One is a Volvo v50 the other a Volvo xc40, It would be interesting to see how the Volvo v50 performs in these crash tests bearing in mind it is a ford focus disguised as a Volvo ??
damn do they have to use the ones with the B&W sound system? Shesh if they don't want it I will gladly take it. Joking aside, I do wonder why they are using the Ultimate versions, instead of just the base models.
Why can’t other car makers do this? What is it that Volvo has that option to make safe cars that others done? And still have cheap affordable cars with luxury features
They literally publish all their safety information and tests so any manufacturer can use them to make their cars better. The fact that other manufacturers aren't on par with them in terms of safety just goes to show that other manufacturers just care about making profits and selling the most cars they can.
With safety comes weight.. And weight automatically puts you out of the performance 'competition' with other brands so why would they focus on performance. And i don't know what you drive or have driven but a volvo with awd is pretty darn fast
@@brayvdb2191 does Volvo have better performance than German brands? Does it have better reliability than Japanese brands? If you think yes, I got nothing to say. If you think Volvo has reached it's summit in the market. Then don't bother to compete with others!!
@@daw7563 the current Volvo can't compare to the previous ones. The quality needs to be improved to against other brands. IF the company wants to moving forward in the market. The competitors will not be easy to compete.
@@daw7563 the market resources ... Take a look at the sales of Japanese brands.... Who don't trust the reliability of it? How could V come and compete with them if they only focus on safety?
Eu tenho um Volvo, não acho um carro seguro, acho ele "menos inseguro do que os outros" Fazer um carro seguro pode não ser tão difícil, basta colocar ferro no lugar de lata, o que todas empresas desejam.. Coloque air-bags em um Chevrolet 1951 e você vai ver o que é carro seguro de verdade!
To absorb the crash energy, the cabin should not be too stiffy. If the cabin is too stiffy, then the energy of the impact comes to the passengers. It only needs the minimum stiffness of keeping the safety shell of passengers. Imagine if you are in a rubber ball or a stiffy steel ball. Which situation do you think you are safe in? I think the cabin of Volvo cars are too stiffy. The bonnet of the car which was designed to absorb the impact even looks too stiffy.
Depends on the collision, if it happens at all. Assuming all cars were self-driving (like literally 80% - 95%) and they all somehow communicated with each other, then there likely wouldn't even be any more accidents.
I have a Volvo, I don't think it's a safe car, I think it's “less unsafe than others” Making a car safe may not be that difficult, just put the iron in the place of the sardine can, which is what all companies want. Put airbags in a 1951 Chevrolet and you'll see what a safe car it is!

Thats true, XC90 are safe but the engine is very bad, At the yearly technical inspection, we need to check the turbo for mechanical clearance.
I've been driving Volvo for 35 years and always feel safe. Unfortunately the quality of Volvo's during the Ford period was pretty bad, leaking windscreens for one.
And went up today
@@tesla_models Nice try, Elon.
@@simtu251 volvo are great always
been driving XC90 from
Old to the new for year's best car all round it's a beast 👌
I love the safety of the XC90 over my XC40, however, when i was in the XC90, it was just too big of a vehicle for me to feel confident to safely navigate.... As it is, i don't really feel "in my own skin" with the XC40, but, in recent years, seems that is all the dealerships are really stocking now. I used to love my 2004 S80, however, after a T-Bone crash on the driver's side (thanks to an a-hole who flew over my green light) made me question my entire faith in Volvo as a safe car.... Yes, i lived, however, i'm dealing with a lot of serious fallout now and am going to physical therapy at least two [2] times a week.
Volvo did a open patent for the seatbelt so every manufacturer could use it for free in their cars. Seatbelt has saved over 1 milion lifes according to a Uk study.
Even before seeing this my decision is made to get a Volvo as my next car. Still recovering from being T-boned while doing 30mph in a Vorsprung edition Audi, 6mnths old and now it's been declared a write off.
As well as the physical injury, I've also taken a knock in confidence, there was nothing I could do, no braking or change of direction. That car had every safety option on it, but getting whacked in the side by a SUV made me realise the importance of side impact protection. So it's a Volvo for me when I get back on the road.
I'm driving a 2021 XC40 in retirement. It's my 5th Volvo. I have great comfort in driving a safe and fun to drive Volvos.
One car crash a day for 20 years:
365*20 = 7.300 cars. If each car costs 10.000$ to produce, that would be 73.000.000$ of costs. And that excludes all the people that set up and analysed the crash tests.
All to the benefit of other manufacturers too.
May God bless you people of Volvo.
Maybe a bit conservative in construction, little boring in design and not "fancy" but always solid, reliable, comfortable and concentrated on safety, comfort and precission. Volvo puts on the 1st line only life tested values. I love Volvo for their philosophy of crafting super everyday cars. The day I got my 1st new Volvo was one of my best days in my life. I was driving many cars but Volvo is supersolid.
Thanks volvo for your effort towards safety.. Hopefully one day i will afford to buy one.. Volvo here are crazy expensive
The best safety car that is why Volvo for life.
The Force, ahheem imean *SWENGLISH* is strong with these ones !!! (considered im a Swede myself) 👍
Volvo is owned by Geely of China
Cringe
Volvo for family car! powerful and safe
Safest car in the world for me, VOLVO.
Volvo should also make the roof more crash safety than the front and rear collisions too!
How safe is a 2008 xc70?
I crashed a 240 and a 262C. Both saved my life!
This is why I’m on my seventh Volvo. 👍
I'm on my tenth and have never had to test the safety features.
@@Bruce-1956 I'm on number 4 and have had to test them 3 times! Stupid drivers! Lol
I currently have two volvos an xc90 and a xc60. I live in wisconsin where people just drive stupid in winter. Its a great peice of mind.
I’ve got a 07 C70 T5 It’s old but so solid
The doors are a 300mm thick I don’t know any cars with doors that thick
Such a good car. Have a similar age S60...so well built..
Very happy with my 2021 XC60!!!!
Volvo is still the safest car in the world, I also have a Volvo myself and it drives me crazy when I see a scratch on my car but see this 😱😱 too bad all those beautiful cars
Les meilleures voitures au monde? Les plus sûr?
Volvo a toujours été à la pointe en matière de sécurité mais avec des véhicules dont l’esthétique était discutable. Aujourd’hui sécurité au top et excellente esthétique? La classe et la sécurité! Le top.
A suivre l’évolution mécanique et les tests objectifs de vlog divers.
@francois girard ça c’est votre avis. Peut-être que pas si mal finalement. Les sous et l’opportunité de garder un savoir faire et être. Critiquer c’est facile, vous pouvez prouver que ça ne vaut rien?
@francois girard On peut ne pas aimer ce qui est chinois mais faut il prouver que c’est vraiment mauvais et ne pas répondre comme un imbécile. Ce n’est pas parce que vous êtes un peu con visiblement,? que tous les français le sont!!!
That black v60 looks nice
Such a great video, thanks a lot
VOLVO:You can die,but not insiade car
This why I want work Volvo cars safely centre because I want save life’s people safe
Volvos have been pioneers in safety and will always be safe cars
I started with a740 saloon then a 240..I now have an s40 r-design...terrific cars.
Amazing
Bravo Volvo 💪👍👍👍
I've worked for Volvo Cars. Let me tell you this; they mean what they say.
Love Volvo 🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪
This is in Sweden right? Their English is superb!
Ya!..
yes, its swenglish but we manage
It's better than English English.
I love my Volvo!!
Masters of safety
great video .... how about facing an horse and going 110kms/hr on a highway ? will the volvo protect from crashing into the horse at a dark night???
支持volvo安全才是重要，操控，妥善率，比不上雙Ｂ，每人觀點不同，我開ＸＣ90覺得很好開呀！
I was contemplating buying a BMW Mercedes Audi or a Volvo this video has helped me steer to Volvo I will be going to my dealership to test drive an XC 60
get v90cc instead
As an owner of a c30, c70, s60 and 2 xc90s I can confidently say I am volvo for life. Even the smaller cars felt heavy and sturdy. The door on the c70 felt like it weighed as much as a civic.
Currently waiting on my xc 60 plug-in hybrid t8, can't wait 🤗
You must be super rich lol
@@Kabilash-wb8by There are incentives for buying hybrid or fully electric cars. You also save alot in fuel costs and maintenance. Don't need to be rich to own a good car :)
normal car company: driving straight into the wall
VOLVO: use crane to drop the car to the ground

I love my family…i love my XC40…
Volvo, one of the brands known for safety.
It would be consistent to sell all cars with maximum safety tools
the best work in the world
because it will break down before any crash
Superbly safe Chinese car 👍🏻
Chinese, US and Swedish effort tbh
I've never had anyone from the 'Volvo Cars Traffic Accident Research Team' show up at any of my 3 crashes! Lol
Do you live in Sweden? They mentioned that that's where the team is based.
@@RCPower11 No, but with my 3 crashes you think they would have heard of me and shown up! Lol
Volvos are just basically tanks at this point
I've got V40 from 2014. But I can't look at destroying these beautiful cars. It feels like some kind of waste these cars.
Спасибо за систему автоторможения, она отлично работает и в городе просто необходима! И за железобетонную жопу хс60 тоже спасибо 🎉
My new S60 is awesome.
Welded in roll frame for monster trucks?
I feel like this would be a good job for Seamus Finnigan.
Any possibility Volvo can work on bolstering the safety in the event of the side-impact crash on the driver's side? I was unfortunately on the receiving end of that (of a maniac that completely disregarded the rules of the road), and, although i walked away, i am still dealing with some significant fallout over six [6] months later. What also immensely concerns me now, in addition to having to put up with the Hummers on the road, we will soon have Tesla's Cybertruck which looks like it belongs on the battlefield. Perhaps Volvo can look into creating their vehicles with an even stronger safety cage to compensate for whatever impact that monstrosity will have. I wonder if Congress will seek to issue legislation limiting the "Cybertruck" as an impact with that thing (from what i've seen in preliminary crash data) looks ghastly to say the least....
Volvo benim kanatim geçmişteki güvenirlik ve sağlamlığı gözardı ediyor yani güvenirlik yerine güvenlik teknolojilerine sağlamlık yerine konforu önemsiyor ve bildiğiniz Volvo olmuyor hem kaliteyi hem sağlamlığı tekrar bir araya getirebilseniz çok iyi olur.
RIP Volvo Cars ! 03:40
My late husband would crash a car every two weeks. He had no insurance. He would drive like he stole it. Most WERE stolen because he had no license.
But oh! what a lover!
I have two Volvo cars and like both of them, One is a Volvo v50 the other a Volvo xc40, It would be interesting to see how the Volvo v50 performs in these crash tests bearing in mind it is a ford focus disguised as a Volvo ??
I can’t imagine how much this has to cost to maintain (and all the wasted cars!)
But it's necessary
I recalled an XC90 from 2007 (company car) that had its turbocharger replaced. Costs like AUD4k. Crazy prices
Not to worry. Most of that damage you see will buff right out! Lol
لدى أفكار تطويريه فى تأمين سيارة فولفو الجميله تجعلها أكثر أمانا وتطويرآ ومنافسة قويه للسيارات الفارهة
this is why we have 6 volvos in the family
Well, my next car will definitely be a volvo
damn do they have to use the ones with the B&W sound system? Shesh if they don't want it I will gladly take it. Joking aside, I do wonder why they are using the Ultimate versions, instead of just the base models.
Why can’t other car makers do this? What is it that Volvo has that option to make safe cars that others done? And still have cheap affordable cars with luxury features
Adnan loves volvo and I love my son adnan ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's owned by Chinese state now, the Swedish should buy back this before all the technology being transferred to China.
Volvo share their safety technology FOC to other manufacturers.
They literally publish all their safety information and tests so any manufacturer can use them to make their cars better. The fact that other manufacturers aren't on par with them in terms of safety just goes to show that other manufacturers just care about making profits and selling the most cars they can.
It is important!! But, Volvo, you can't always just focus on safety. Performance, reliability are also important to improve!!!!!!!!!
Now imagine the price
With safety comes weight.. And weight automatically puts you out of the performance 'competition' with other brands so why would they focus on performance. And i don't know what you drive or have driven but a volvo with awd is pretty darn fast
@@brayvdb2191 does Volvo have better performance than German brands? Does it have better reliability than Japanese brands? If you think yes, I got nothing to say. If you think Volvo has reached it's summit in the market. Then don't bother to compete with others!!
@@daw7563 the current Volvo can't compare to the previous ones. The quality needs to be improved to against other brands. IF the company wants to moving forward in the market. The competitors will not be easy to compete.
@@daw7563 the market resources ...
Take a look at the sales of Japanese brands.... Who don't trust the reliability of it? How could V come and compete with them if they only focus on safety?
Eu tenho um Volvo, não acho um carro seguro, acho ele "menos inseguro do que os outros"
Fazer um carro seguro pode não ser tão difícil, basta colocar ferro no lugar de lata, o que todas empresas desejam..
Coloque air-bags em um Chevrolet 1951 e você vai ver o que é carro seguro de verdade!
To absorb the crash energy, the cabin should not be too stiffy. If the cabin is too stiffy, then the energy of the impact comes to the passengers. It only needs the minimum stiffness of keeping the safety shell of passengers. Imagine if you are in a rubber ball or a stiffy steel ball. Which situation do you think you are safe in? I think the cabin of Volvo cars are too stiffy. The bonnet of the car which was designed to absorb the impact even looks too stiffy.
They was safe - comparing to other cars. Now in top 10 most safe cars.. there is no even one Volvo model.
If all cars were self-driving, would it be safer if all the seats are rearward facing too, and possibly no airbags required?
Yes
Depends on the collision, if it happens at all. Assuming all cars were self-driving (like literally 80% - 95%) and they all somehow communicated with each other, then there likely wouldn't even be any more accidents.
I have a Volvo, I don't think it's a safe car, I think it's “less unsafe than others”
Making a car safe may not be that difficult, just put the iron in the place of the sardine can, which is what all companies want.
Put airbags in a 1951 Chevrolet and you'll see what a safe car it is!
Am I the only one hearing the music from the "Twilight" playing in the background?
