Four models tested. Four models awarded.  Volvo Cars has once again proven why it is globally known as the safest brand in cars.  Our Volvo dealer in Chicago is extremely proud to announce that for 2015, the S60, V60, S80 and SC90 were all award winners.

With Volvo's focus on the idea that no one will be killed or seriously injured in or by a new Volvo car by the year 2020, the brand has placed a major focus on keeping its drivers safe.  That focus has proven worth while, with these four models all being recognized as some of the safest vehicles on the market today.

It is of course a wonderful thing that we receive such honours and recognition for our advanced safety innovations from leading safety institutes,” said Dr. Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President Research & Development at Volvo Cars.
