The all-new Volvo EX90 is as safe as they get as anyone would expect.
The all-electric Volvo EX90 SUV has achieved the maximum five-star rating in the latest round of Euro NCAP safety testing, confirming its position as one of the highest-performing cars of the year. This top score, awarded by Europe’s leading independent car safety assessment program, underscores Volvo Cars’ continuous leadership and commitment to safety.
The seven-seat family SUV scored exceptionally high in both the Adult and Child Occupant Protection categories. This success is not merely a result of controlled testing; it is powered by more than 55 years of real-world crash research, including data gathered from over 50,000 real-life accidents. This deep, data-driven understanding informs the Volvo Cars Safety Standard—an in-house benchmark that consistently exceeds official regulatory requirements.
Safe Space Technology: The Core of EX90 Safety
The EX90 is engineered to be smart, connected, and protective, leveraging Volvo’s bespoke Safe Space Technology. This comprehensive suite of protective and preventive safety systems works harmoniously, using a sophisticated array of advanced sensors, cameras, and radars.
This technology allows the car to build a real-time, 360-degree understanding of its surroundings, enabling it to anticipate and help mitigate potential risks before they lead to an accident. Powered by core computing and over-the-air updates, the EX90’s safety functionalities are designed to learn and improve throughout the vehicle’s lifespan.
Advanced Features for Occupant Protection
Beyond crash prevention, the EX90 is equipped with state-of-the-art structural design and restraint technology specifically tuned for the electric platform. Two standout safety innovations further distinguish the EX90:
- Driver Understanding System: Named one of TIME’s Best Inventions in 2024, this award-winning system uses real-time sensing to monitor the driver’s state. It can detect signs of distraction, fatigue, or impairment, providing intervention and support when needed to ensure the driver remains fully capable of operating the vehicle.
- Full-Cabin Occupant Sensing: This crucial feature helps prevent loved ones from being inadvertently left behind in the car. Advanced radars can detect even submillimetre movements, such as a baby’s subtle breathing, and alert the driver to the presence of occupants in potentially dangerous situations.
This maximum Euro NCAP rating is the latest accolade for the EX90, adding to its previous honours, including the prestigious World Luxury Car title awarded earlier this year. The Volvo EX90 redefines what a safe, modern family SUV can be.
