2013 Volvo V40

One of the safest cars ever built will not be sold in the United States. The Euro NCAP, like our National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, set the new 2013 Volvo V40 with a battery of crash tests and found that one of the safest cars tested. The Euro NCAP test consists of cars (or was rather dragged) tested in four categories (adult occupant, child occupant, pedestrian and safety help) for the safety of the vehicles and the V40 away with some of the highest scores of the agency has ever distributed. The 98 percent of the adult occupant rating is the highest score recorded by Euro NCAP, while the car innovative pedestrian airbag helped to get an equally impressive 88-percent rating for pedestrian safety. This protection is actually an airbag under the hood, and if you will contact with a pedestrian is detected, the airbag inflates, and it can extend the rear of the hood, which absorb the person's head or body, if it helps in contact by car.

The Volvo V40 was perfect to assist in the security category. Thanks to systems such as Pedestrian Detection, City Safety, car brakes, and many other active safety features the only knock the V40 was found child occupant protection. The 75-percent rating is among the lowest of the last batch of the cars tested, the Audi A3, Kia CEE'D and Ford B-Max. Besides being one of the safest Volvo ever produced is, the V40 is also one of the best looking Volvo models of all time. We already had the opportunity to try the new V40 in June, and we were impressed with the car and what it might be doing to strengthen Volvo's U.S. lineup. However, Volvo has indicated that it does not intend to sell its new compact hatchback is here, despite the growth of the premium small car segment in this market.
