Volvo Safety features
Most newer Volvos have a number of beneficial safety features
Things like...
- Park Assist Pilot takes over the parking to make it safer. With Park Assist Pilot, you pull up to your space and let go of the wheel. The car steers itself and lets you know when to brake.
- Lane Keeping Aid - if your car starts to veer out of its lane, Volvo's Lane Keeping Aid activates to gently steer you back into your lane while sending warning vibrations to keep you alert.
- Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) is a smart safety system that automatically applies the car's brakes if the driver doesn't react quickly enough to a hazard ahead, the system can help avoid or mitigate potential collisions.
- Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection - Pedestrian detection functionality detects people walking near your car to help you avoid accidents. If necessary, the system can apply the brakes. If a cyclist swerves in front of your car, cyclist detection warns you with a light on the windscreen and can even brake for you if needed.
- Pedestrian airbag - should a collision with a pedestrian occur, Volvo's Pedestrian Airbag automatically deploys to cover the windscreen, cushion the impact and help prevent serious injury.
Electric Volvo
So, where do Volvo stand on electric cars?
Here's the lowdown:
Volvo has made a commitment to fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness by creating a broader range of hybrids and fully electric models.
Today, you can buy plug-in hybrid Volvo cars that offer the choice to run on petrol or battery electric power, and they plan to add more powertrain options, including mild hybrids and battery electric vehicles.
Volvo has big plans to expand their electric vehicle range over the coming years. Here's what to expect from the Swedish firm up until 2025:
- 2019: Every new Volvo introduced this year will be electrified
- 2021: Volvo will have five new fully electric vehicles in their line-up
- 2025: Volvo plans to have over one million electrified vehicles on the road
