2015 Volvo XC90: Revolutionary Safety Technologies and Features

When car experts think of safety, only one brand comes to mind – Volvo. The Swedish manufacturer has carved a niche for itself in developing state-of-the-art safety technologies, most of which we utilize in our daily driving. One prime example is the 3-point seatbelt, which was developed by Volvo. However, like any technology-driven industry, continuous innovation is essential to stay competitive, and Volvo has lagged behind its German rivals. This is about to change with the introduction of another ‘world’s-first’ safety technology in the upcoming 2015 XC90. Below are the details:

• The car features a unique safety system that will auto brake at an intersection when the driver turns across traffic and the car detects an approaching vehicle, helping to avoid collisions.
• The XC90 includes a system that protects against accidental road departures. In such situations, pre-tensing seatbelts and active shocks in the seats work together to keep the occupants safe.
• The car frame is constructed from 40 percent hot-formed boron steel, the strongest type of steel used in the automotive industry.
• The XC90 can display nearby rest stop or coffee shop locations when it senses that the driver is drowsy.

Moreover, the 2015 XC90 offers an optional 500 BHP hybrid engine, making it the most powerful hybrid SUV available.
