Among Edmunds' incredible praise for the Volvo S60, they emphasized its "long list of standard and available safety equipment."

• Active Bending Lights: Headlights that pivot with your steering to better illuminate the road.
• Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) & Cross Traffic Alert: Radar technology alerts the driver on the appropriate side mirror when a vehicle is in the blind spot or passing behind your car.

• Pilot Assist w/Adaptive Cruise Control: This feature uses radar to track vehicle positions and speeds to maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and the one ahead.
