In capturing the maximum five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP, the all-new Volvo V40 recorded in the highest scores ever seen in the history of the European barrier tests.
Euro NCAP has four categories – adult occupant protection, child protection, pedestrian protection and safety assist.
In the adult occupant test, the all-new Volvo V40 logged 98 per-cent - the highest score ever – set a new record in pedestrian protection and scored maximum points for safety assist.
“We are very proud to have one of the world’s safest cars and we’re taking yet another important step toward our 2020 target that nobody should die or be seriously injured in a Volvo,” revealed Volvo Car Corporation’s technical chief Thomas Broberg.
