Due to an astonishing array of driver assists, this Volvo very much adheres to the company ' s passion for driving safety. There are standard parking assists, but you also have the advantage of such features as anti-lock brakes, stability control( which assists you when you lose control of the steering), loads and loads of airbags – even KNEE airbags – and anti-whiplash head restraints. If you are buying a Volvo because you ' ve heard they are safe, you will definitely not be proven wrong.
I love the XC90. It manages to continue a tradition of quality, safety and driving enjoyment, whilst adding the latest gadgets designed to make life in your car even more enjoyable. I read that many orders were placed for the latest car without even having seen it! But it ' s clear now that the faith these customers placed in Volvo was well founded. The XC90, like Volvo, is a car that can be trusted to deliver.
