Volvo has a long-running reputation for producing sleek, feature-rich autos that are just as high-performing as they are fun to drive. However, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) recently recognized Volvo for its stellar achievements in safety.

What are the Criteria for Qualifying as an IIHS Top Safety Pick?
The IIHS considers both design elements for crash mitigation and the range of safety technologies that each model has available. To qualify as a top safety pick, vehicles must have good scores in all tests measuring:
- Head restraint
- Driver-side and passenger-side small overlap front
- Roof strength
- Original side
- Moderate overlap front
All models must additionally have acceptable headlight scores and superior or advanced crash prevention for vehicle-to-pedestrian and vehicle-to-vehicle collisions.
