Car safety
Volvo Cars has been a leader in the field of car safety for decades. That will never change. It’s our vision that no one should be seriously injured or killed in a new Volvo car.

We have invented some of the most important features in the history of car safety. And there’s more to come.

Driver assistance systems
In addition to occupant protection features such as airbags and crumple zones, we have added driver assistance systems that can help avoid and mitigate collisions. These systems also support you with manoeuvring or parking.

Child safety
Child safety in our cars has always been a guiding principle at Volvo Cars. That’s why we have remained at the forefront of child safety and research since the 1960s, with innovations such as the rearward-facing child seat and dual-stage integrated booster cushion.

Improvements for road safety
Speeding, intoxication and distraction are three obstacles on the road to zero fatalities in our cars. Therefore, we aim to address these key challenges with new and existing safety innovations.

A million more lives
After we introduced the 3-point safety belt, we faced a world of criticism. Since then, it has saved more than a million lives. Now, we’re determined to save a million more.
