One of the features most car buyers look for in a car is its safety feature. A car with a good safety rating can provide a more convenient and secure driving experience on the go. Volvo is one of the top car brands that is continuously catering to this need and has been long innovating safety features.
In fact, Volvo was the first company to introduce a three-point safety belt in 1959 – a feature that has been an essential component in making cars safer as it provides better vehicle occupant safety.
The Volvo XC90 has a total of three models with a 5-five star safety rating for 2021
