Safety - What the Auto Press Says

True to Volvo's reputation for prioritizing safety above all else, the 2010 XC70 comes equipped with a host of advanced safety systems. However, it has not yet been crash tested by the federal government or insurance industry.

• "Safety, of course, is one of Volvo's claims to fame. Sounding the cabin are more airbags than you'll find at a Senate hearing, and somewhat smarter ones as well." -- The Auto Channel
• [S]afety features abound in the XC70. It comes with traction control - a hill descent system that lets the car creep down the steepest, slipperiest of slopes - as well as air bags all around, and the auto industry's first safety seat that can be adjusted as a child grows older." -- Boston Globe
• "There's also Volvo's typical dizzying array of standard and optional safety/alert features, including a blind-spot warning system (which illuminates LED warning lights when another car is along the wagon's side), Vehicle Distance Alert (which activates an alarm when you're too close to the car ahead), Driver Alert Control (which alerts the driver if the car seems to be out of control), a collision warning system (which warns of imminent collisions and applies the brakes if necessary) and a lane-departure warning system (which beeps some sense into you when you start to meander into the adjacent lane). " -- Edmunds
• "Thin roof pillars and large glass areas combine for excellent all-around visibility." -- Consumer Guide
