Safety - What the Auto Press Says

The 2010 V70 has not yet been crash tested by the federal government or insurance industry, but features an impressive list of active and passive safety features -- including dual-stage front airbags, side airbags, and side-curtain airbags, as well as Dynamic Stability and Traction Control systems.

• "The V70 is available with advanced safety features like Collision Warning with Brake Support. This system uses a light and sound to warn the driver if it senses a collision may occur, and the system brakes the car if the driver doesn't heed the alert. Volvo's WHIPS technology is designed to lessen the effect of a rear impact by cradling front-seat occupants with their seat. The automaker's Blind Spot Information System keeps track of cars in the driver's blind spots." -- Cars.com
• "The biggest innovation is a pair of integrated second-row child safety seats, standard on the V70, optional on the XC70. Designed to keep children in a booster seat for as long as possible, the seat cushion pops up to one position for children aged six to 10 years and to a taller one for three to six-year-olds." -- Motor Trend
• "Thin roof pillars and large glass areas combine for excellent all-around visibility." -- Consumer Guide
