Volvo XC60 is the first luxury SUV to achieve a Top Safety Pick+ award

The 2013 Volvo XC60 earned a Top Safety Pick+ in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) new small overlap frontal crash test, currently making it the first and only midsize luxury SUV to achieve such results.

Due to its top marks in the latest test, Volvo is now the only
luxury manufacturer with two Top Safety Pick+ vehicles. The 2013 Volvo S60 sports sedan received the Institute's highest safety honor in an earlier test.

"Volvo's rich heritage of safety innovation continues on to this day," said Volvo Cars of Canada President and CEO Marc Engelen. "Each of our vehicles are equipped with active safety equipment meant to avoid a collision but have been designed to protect its occupants in the event of a crash."
