Crash Testing the 2013 Volvo XC60! - The Downshift Episode 51 

Hi James, hope you got your Volvo. My dad worked for Volvo and I too drove an 850 but now I drive a Peugeot 508.

That was a beautiful story, and I hope you got your Volvo now after 4 years :) I myself am going around in a Volvo V70 from 1997. Beautiful masterpiece of engineering and mechanics.

General Zirkobi Except it looks shite

Wonder what you ended up getting. My first one was c30, now I have an xc60

Yeah Volvo cars are amazing and one of the safest cars

Joe Katama

Gus Serks P

They're the safest cars on the market

I was thinking about a xc60 or 90 I can't choose😅

I know. It's amazing that they built such a safe vehicle that wasn't redesigned to pass this test. It shows that Volvo thinks ahead. I watched a documentary about Volvo, and apparently they send investigators out to research every crash in which a person died in a Volvo vehicle. That's dedication.

chigasaki06 wow that's awesome!

That's because Volvo Made this test since the second half of 80's

+Trades46 not only that but the xc90 they tested in the small overlap CAME OUT IN 2003!!!! And passed with flying colors and no design modifications. Cars that came out last year failed the test, and Volvo passed with freakin 10 year old car!

@@klukash it's also a little scary, isn't it? Seeing as to how little other AR manufacturers care for the safety of the occupants in the car.

That's what I wanted my sis to get, but she opted for the Tiquan. Overall, German, and Volvo vehicles have a level of solidity missing from other manufacturers.

Volvo is the best brand

Basar. T yes Scoring an outstanding 97% for adult occupant protection, along with 87% for child occupants ensures the Volvo does its best to keep people inside of the vehicle safe. ... Overall, the Volvo XC90 makes for the safest family car on the road today. Yassssssss

Yeah, Volvo is nice car

When you buy an 850, yes

European Union disagrees with you

Yes it's scandinavia's biggest priority. (I am not saying that because i come from Denmark and Volvo is from Sweden.) Well yes i am... :P

Actually it's Tesla now

Qweer45y6i77888990124456677890l,

***** Acura or Subaru have cars just as much or cheaper, but offer the same amount of safety.

Oh, interesting

+Andreas Lie It's not a real metal.. Do you like Marvel?

schuyler brooks lmao

wait a 2010 one that's four years old?!?! how is that possible?

charlycute123 2010 was the first model year in the US of the XC60. I bought mine in the fall of 2009. Same car.

Yes, I agree. Volvo's are less expensive to maintain than Jaguars or Mercedes. My very old 760GLE has close to 400,00kms on it and the engine has never had any repairs. I service it once per year, regardless of kms.I had also survived a minor bump with a Kangaroo and sheep with no body damage.

Yoshi I'm sorry to hear :( but they got to sacrifice a Volvo to see if the a Volvo is safe or not.

A sacrifice made for us, peple have to see what are we putting our families in.

I FEEL BAD FOR THE VOLVO

+AppleTutorials.com Who has made it? I cant find it anywhere

No. It’s a flute rendition of Pavane.

Can't agree more

Toys and Fun okay why?

you're asking why he agrees?

who he, me?

It is

Сам имею автомобиль такой классный

no

Idk

So true. If I had a family, I would get the new 2016 XC90. Volvo's have an understated classic look, I don't understand why they often get overlooked.

Great

***** Geely bought it, and Geely is Chinese

good thing the chinese part didn't applied to the car

Denver Cayle Ong It's owned by a Chinese company, but 90% of the cars are still designed, produced and built in Sweden.

For the name of science.

Yuxin Wang Yeah that's true, Volvo is still Swedish, it's just that the money is Chinese.

+Yuxin Wang Indeed, the chinese only interested in technology transfer I think. In case Volvo returns profit, it's just a bonus for them

'Technology transfer' - I think you are very diplomatic.

+Ham and Eggs This was a legal way most of the time it isn't.

'This was a legal way most of the time it isn't.' Kindly explain how this time 'it's legal'.. whilst most of the time..it's not? Actually the question is not 'is it legal'.?. but 'Is it ethical'.. i.e.- Is it good business practice..when you take the hard work and research and investment time and dollars of one company that are experts in the business and sincere in improving car safety for the sakes of less deaths and serious injuries on the roads and simply buy it all because you're flush with money to improve your own sales figures, and because you have failed miserably at producing safe cars without any concern for the ethos and principles of that company..?? I think this is just 'new money' buying up and benefiting itself for sheer financial gain without doing any of the hard work for it and having invested NOTHING in the company's ethos. Legal..maybe..Ethical..never. Cheap trick really, cheap trick.

yee

"care"

imo, volvo and tesla are at the same level of safety

Damn tomatoes

I hope you whooped that tomato can's ASS

+Frank Futtermen Omfg 😂😂😂😂

+lukelarso12 وش تقول يا ولع

It's sort of the same to crashes

+Angel Derbessy Because they're literally killing the car :'(

hahahaha

even alfa romeo has got higher scores than a xc90 (Europe better than the shit states anyway).

Asssie's gaming You are joking? The new XC90 monstered crash tests.

I am looking for the name of the song starting at 5:08 Cap'n, help?

Let me help you buddy. That's Pavane, Op 50 by Boston Pops Orchesta, John Williams

Papparazi Xzibit covered Pavane, Op. 50

+Greg O'Brien you do realize being a good driver, doesn't protect you from this crash, right? It could happen to anyone in variety of different circumstances.

+Greg O'Brien what if (and this is a big if) someone crashes in to you????? you fucking muppet

+magisterartium its people like you that rely on your cars safety features to make you a better driver, which in reality makes you a nob

+Greg O'Brien you do relize if everyone thought like you there would be more deaths on the road. we would still be driving cars without airbags. these saftey systems are designed to assist you in case u make a mistake and crash.

+Matas Eitminavicius i work on roads, and the amount of drivers that i see looking at their phones or relying on their cars safety features is scary, ok people make mistakes but driving a car should be no1 priority , that means watching for other drivers intentions, hazards and anything that could be a potential accident waiting to happen

yeah would have been nice to see the consequences of the driver's legs actually....

The lower part did extremely well. It has almost no intrusion into the leg area. It held up better than almost any other vehicle. You can see the pics here: www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/volvo/xc60-4-door-suv/2015

Samuel G That's impressive! Totally opposite to what I expected

+m4rs12 Yeah, Volvo's are like the safest cars on the planet. The Volvo XC90 from 2003 gets a good rating in the Small Overlap crash test with almost no intrusion as well. FROM 2003!!! Pretty impressive. Check it on the IIHS website.

+Samuel G very good

you can try living together

like like like bhoomi deva

Funnu

pff, that thing got up and walked away after that shit yo, im sure its still worth more than a honda in that condition.

maxman1244 always insult Honda. You know what, Honda cars are safe too, not only that is that they make good and reliable cars ^^
