Rumson, NJ -- (SBWire) -- 01/05/2011 -- Prestige Volvo has exciting news for Livingston Volvo fans- Volvo has four cars chosen as IIHS Top Safety Picks for the 2010 model year! The Volvo S80, C30, XC60 and XC90 have been named as Top Safety Picks for 2010 by the US Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, this IIHS.
Car shoppers looking for a Volvo in Livingston have four great award-winning models to choose from. Model of these vehicles are in stock now at Prestige Volvo.
For a vehicle to earn the title of a Top Safety Pick for 2010, a vehicle must have “good” ratings in all four Institute tests and have electronic stability control. Tests performed on the vehicle include tests that judge performances in high-speed front and side crash tests, a rollover test and evaluations of seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impacts. A new test performed on 2010 models is a roof strength test. This new test has led to some models typically included on the list to not be part of it for 2010.
Top Safety Picks for the 2010 model year include a new group of automakers. Manufacturers that were used to being at the top of the lists in terms of safety were not listed for 2010. Not a single Toyota, Lexus or Scion was listed and cars typically listed as a Top Safety Pick, including the Honda Accord, were dropped from the list.
For 2010, the Volvo S80 was listed as a Top Safety Pick for the large car segment, the Volvo C30 for midsize cars, and the Volvo XC60 and XC90 were listed for Top Safety Picks in the midsize SUV segment. All models include standard size airbags.
Car shoppers in the market for a safe Volvo in Livingston can find these Top Safety Picks now at Prestige Volvo.
