The Volvo EX30, the automaker’s compact and highly acclaimed SUV, has achieved the maximum 5-star safety rating from Euro NCAP, one of the most rigorous and respected vehicle safety testing organizations worldwide. This achievement underscores Volvo’s ongoing commitment to producing some of the safest cars on the road.
A Compact SUV with Exceptional Safety
Though it is Volvo’s smallest SUV to date, the EX30 carries the brand’s reputation for safety proudly. Åsa Haglund, head of Volvo’s Safety Centre, highlighted this accomplishment, saying, “While we always design our cars to be safe in the real world and not only to excel in safety ratings, this result underscores the strong safety credentials of the EX30. With this model, we’ve elevated city safety, creating a small SUV that protects its occupants and others on busy city streets.”
Innovative Design Backed by Expertise
Volvo’s safety philosophy is rooted in more than 50 years of real-world crash research. The EX30 is no exception, featuring advanced restraint systems and a structural design that not only meets but exceeds industry standards. Volvo’s internal safety requirements, which are often more demanding than official tests, ensure the EX30 is prepared for complex real-world scenarios, providing exceptional crash protection for drivers and passengers.
Enhanced Driver-Assist Technologies
The EX30 also boasts state-of-the-art driver-assist systems designed to protect both its occupants and other road users. Among these features is a cyclist detection system, which alerts drivers to approaching cyclists before they open a door, helping to prevent accidents in urban environments. This thoughtful integration of safety technology reinforces Volvo’s holistic approach to road safety.
Continuing a Legacy of Excellence
Known globally for its safety-first ethos, Volvo has consistently set benchmarks in automotive safety. The EX30, with its 5-star Euro NCAP rating, exemplifies this legacy while introducing innovations tailored for modern urban driving. “As our smallest SUV, the EX30 is as safe as you’d expect from a Volvo car,” the company proudly stated.
By combining compact design, advanced safety features, and groundbreaking engineering, the Volvo EX30 proves that big safety can come in small packages, reaffirming its place as a leader in the competitive SUV market.
