The Volvo EX30, the company’s smallest fully electric SUV, has earned the prestigious five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP, a leading independent car safety assessment organization in Europe. This accolade reaffirms Volvo’s legacy as a pioneer in automotive safety, even in the compact SUV segment.
Designed to excel in both real-world scenarios and standardized tests, the EX30 incorporates over five decades of Volvo’s research into real-world accident safety. “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,” said Åsa Haglund, Head of Volvo’s Safety Centre.
Advanced Safety Features
The EX30 features cutting-edge safety systems to protect occupants and other road users. Key highlights include:
- Intersection Auto Brake: Helps prevent collisions at intersections by automatically stopping the vehicle if another car unexpectedly crosses its path.
- Door Opening Alert: Warns passengers of approaching cyclists or vehicles to reduce dooring incidents, a common cause of urban cycling accidents.
- Driver Alert System: Monitors driver behavior and provides alerts if it detects signs of fatigue or distraction.
The EX30’s structural design and advanced restraint technology surpass standard safety requirements, preparing the SUV to handle complex real-world crash scenarios effectively.
City Safety Redefined
Built with urban environments in mind, the EX30’s innovative systems prioritize safety for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike. “With the EX30, we have taken our city safety to the next level, by creating a small SUV that looks after you as well as other traffic participants on busy city streets,” Haglund added.
The Volvo EX30 proves that safety and sustainability can go hand in hand, offering a compact, environmentally conscious option for city dwellers without compromising Volvo’s hallmark safety standards.
