Volvo’s focus on safety dates back generations, and it’s that focus on keeping you and yours out of harm’s way that has made it such a popular brand for luxurious family vehicles. The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety agrees, giving Volvo more IIHS Top Safety Pick+ Awards than any other brand. That means that any Volvo you take home from our San Francisco dealership will come with a level of safety that you won’t find anywhere else.
Volvo Advanced Safety Technology
Part of the reason for Volvo earning so many top safety awards is the advanced driver assistance features that are standard on every new Volvo model. It starts with the basics like forward collision warning and pedestrian detection that warn you of potential dangers on the road ahead. This system also picks up cyclists and large animals, helping detect a wider variety of hazards. Automatic emergency braking can even help slow you down and avoid the collision altogether.
Volvo’s suite of city-oriented safety features are perfect for getting around San Mateo and Burlingame. The Left Turn Assist can help you turn across traffic by alerting you to oncoming vehicles, even if they’re obscured by traffic ahead. And with blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert, you’ll be notified of oncoming traffic when pulling out of your parking space, whether you’re parallel parked or backing out of a perpendicular spot.
Advanced Crash Structures
If you are involved in an accident, Volvo vehicles are designed with crash structures that send energy around the outside of the cabin, rather than transferring it to the occupants. This helps reduce the effect of a collision on you and your passengers, helping keep you protected from the harsh changes in speed that can cause injury.
