City Safety – standard for every Volvo XC40 – is like having a co-pilot to look out for you.

Volvo Cars is synonymous with road safety. We put our first safety cage into production in 1944 and created the three-point safety belt back in 1959. We’re still innovating, and our vision is that, by 2020, no one will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car. -
