The 100 % electric Volvo ex30 SUV obtains the maximum five -star note from the last Euro NCAP security tests

It may be the smallest SUV of the brand to date, but the Volvo Ex30 is also a proud standard-bearer of the manufacturer’s long-standing leading position, well known in terms of automotive security.

Indeed, the Volvo Ex30 has just won the maximum five -star note during the last series of Euro NCAP security tests, which confirms that this small 100 % electric SUV takes care of its passengers and others in agitated urban environments.

Euro NCAP is one of the main independent automotive security assessment organizations in Europe. It helps consumers make informed decisions on the safety performance of cars available on the market.

“Although we always conceive of our cars so that they are sure in the real world and not only to excel in safety assessments, this result underlines the solid performance of the ex30 in terms of security,” said A Volvo Cars security center. “With the ex30, we have crossed a new level in urban security, by creating a small SUV which watches over you, as well as on other users in the very frequented streets of modern cities. »»

As the smallest SUV of Volvo Cars, the ex30 provides the same security as that expected from any other Volvo vehicle. With security systems developed thanks to unique security knowledge, from accident research for over 50 years, this SUV has been designed to help protect its driver and passengers in the event of an accident in real life.

He succeeds thanks to a modern restraint technology, as well as a structural design which meets the internal pioneer requirements in terms of security. These ambitious requirements often exceed the criteria of official tests and are designed to prepare Volvo models for different real world scenarios which can sometimes be much more complicated than standardized tests.

In addition to the rigorous standards in passive security, the ex30 is also equipped with an advanced set of active safety features, designed to help avoid and mitigate collisions or risks. For example, an advanced alert alert driver (standard) informs the driver when the system notes that it is necessary to pay more attention to traffic or that driving seems abnormal.

In town, the automatic brake at the intersections of the ex30 is designed to help prevent or alleviate accidents at intersections. If another car crosses its trajectory unexpectedly, the automatic brake intervention function is designed to stop the car.

The ex30 also incorporates an alert at the opening of a door. If it is activated, this device can warn by visual and sound signals when the door is about to open in front of a cyclist who passes, for example. The so -called “door blows” incidents are responsible for a large number of cyclists accidents and when activated, the door opening alert can help reduce this type of incident.
