KUALA LUMPUR: The fully electric C40 Recharge sports utility vehicle (SUV) has been awarded a five-star safety rating in the 2022 Euro NCAP tests, continuing Volvo Cars' streak in the testing.
All tested Volvo models on sale today received five stars in their respective Euro NCAP assessments.
"We always aim to be a leader in safety. That means we adhere to strict safety standards in all of our cars - many of which we helped establish over time.
"You and your loved ones will drive one of the safest cars on the market no matter which Volvo you choose," said Volvo Cars Safety Centre head Malin Ekholm.
The C40 Recharge is said to have scored especially well on occupant safety and driver assist systems, along with one of the most extensive standard safety offers in its segment.
These safety technologies help drivers detect and avoid collisions, remain in their lane and reduce the impact of accidentally running off the road among many other scenarios.
The SUV is Volvo Cars' second fully electric model. The company plans to roll out a whole new family of pure electric cars in the coming years as part of its commitment to an all-out electrification with aims to sell only pure electric cars by 2030.
