Default IIHS Small Overlap Results: S60 "Good" - highest rated European luxury car

Recently the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (#IIHS) toughened their frontal crash test, the #Volvo S60 was ready for the challenge. The S60 earned a top rating of "good" in the new small overlap frontal crash test, making the highest-rated European luxury vehicle among those tested. Our S60 rated higher than the Infiniti G, BMW 3 Series, Acura TSX, Audi A4, Mercedes C-Class and the Lexus IS. That's quite an achievement, isn't it?

Here's the IIHS Press Release: IIHS news release

Excellent news. Were only sedan models tested? No SUVS?

Hey Evan, thanks! We're thrilled with the news. In the most recent test, only luxury sedans were tested.
