Volvo XC90 Earns IIHS "Top Safety Pick Plus" Rating

Are you looking for a safe crossover SUV with seating for 7 people? Are you considering a used model in order to save some money, but you still want a safe SUV? If so, Volvo has a good option for you, and it's called the XC90.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has named the 2014 Volvo XC90 as a "Top Safety Pick Plus," reflecting the 3-row SUV's "Good" rating in the new small overlap frontal-impact crash test. The IIHS began conducting this test in 2013, and it is designed to reflect how well a vehicle manages crash energy and protects occupants if a vehicle strikes a tree, utility pole, or oncoming traffic on the left front corner of the vehicle.
