Summary: There are many safe SUVs on the market, but the Volvo XC90 could be considered the safest SUV available. Learn about the whiplash protection system and side-impact protection of a Volvo XC90 with help from a car salesman in this free video on SUV safety.
"Which SUV on the market is the safest, well, I think there's a lot of SUV's out there now more than ever. Safety is becoming the forefront of the automobile industry, not only because it's important to the kind of people that are driving SUV's but it's important to sell a car. So one of the things that the dealerships try to, is market is safety first, and that's what's bringing a lot of these people in such as moms needing extra room for kids, you know, just more responsible people looking to buying cars these days. SUV's are a dime a dozen out there and there are many safe ones out there, but in saying that I feel like the Volvo XC90 is the safest one out there. And the reason I feel like it is, it has all the safety features that one would need in an SUV. You have the whiplash protection system which will protect your neck in a a head-on collision, you have the side impact protection system which is the SIPS system. You also have boron steel completely surrounding you in a cage. I think that all those things combined, the double-beaded safety rims, all the crumple zones in the right area, new generation air bags, all the features, advantages, and benefits that Volvo puts on their cars, I think if one is lookin' for an SUV, that's probably the safest one on the market. Volvo also prides themselves in something that not only makes sense, safety wise, but a very comfortable vehicle, pleasurable to drive, it's a, it's on a car chassis, but still is heavy enough and solid enough to get that truck feel."
