Volvo Cars has reinforced its long-standing global reputation for safety excellence as its flagship electric SUV, the Volvo EX90, has achieved a prestigious five-star rating in the latest Euro NCAP safety tests. This recognition places the EX90 among the safest electric vehicles currently available in Europe, further strengthening Volvo’s position as a leader in automotive safety innovation.
According to the official Euro NCAP results, the Volvo EX90 delivered exceptional performance across multiple safety categories. The electric SUV recorded 92% in Adult Occupant Protection, 93% in Child Occupant Protection, 82% for Vulnerable Road User protection, and 86% in Safety Assist systems. These strong scores reflect Volvo’s extensive investment in safety engineering and advanced driver-assistance technologies.
Volvo attributes the EX90’s impressive rating to its next-generation Safe Space Technology, which integrates cutting-edge radars, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and high-performance computing to offer a comprehensive 360-degree awareness of the vehicle’s surroundings. This system continuously monitors potential hazards and responds proactively to maintain optimal safety for passengers and pedestrians.
The EX90 also debuts Volvo’s enhanced interior occupant sensing system, capable of detecting motion and subtle breathing patterns inside the cabin. This technology helps prevent scenarios where children or pets may be unintentionally left behind, offering an additional layer of life-saving protection.
In addition, the vehicle benefits from a reinforced body structure and advanced restraint mechanisms, designed specifically for the EX90’s electric platform. These features work together to deliver superior crash protection during collisions.
Volvo has also confirmed that the EX90’s safety systems will continue to evolve through over-the-air (OTA) software updates, allowing the SUV to improve its capabilities long after it leaves the factory.
With this latest accomplishment, the Volvo EX90 sets a new industry benchmark, underscoring Volvo’s unwavering commitment to building the safest electric vehicles on the market. The five-star rating further reinforces consumer confidence as the brand accelerates its transition toward a fully electric lineup.
