The XC60 also cleared the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) tests, in all three categories like AEB City, AEB inter-urban and AEB pedestrian with flying colours. This makes Volvo the first carmaker to hold the top three rankings of the AEB tests.

Speaking on the achievement of the XC60, the vice president of Volvo Cars Safety Centre, Malin Ekholm said, “The new XC60 is one of the safest Volvo cars ever made. It is fully loaded with new technology designed to assist drivers, to help protect vehicle occupants and other road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, plus mitigate collision risks. We are proud that our ongoing commitment to innovating new safety features has been recognised with another Euro NCAP Best in Class award for Volvo Cars.”
