Why Volvo Is Losing Its Big Lead In Safety

The name Volvo has been synonymous with car safety for decades. The brand has often been the first to introduce key safety features that are now common across the car industry. Safety, though, has become a bigger priority for consumers and automakers alike, and that's causing trouble for Volvo. Automotive technology has improved, regulations have tightened, and other brands are catching up. That's making it harder and harder for Volvo to keep its lead in car safety.
For instance, the Volvo XC40 comes with safety features like automatic emergency breaking, oncoming lane collision mitigation, lane keeping aid, and driver fatigue monitoring. Add-ons include a pilot assist semi-autonomous driving system, 360-degree parking camera, and blind-spot monitoring. Many other luxury subcompact SUVs like the Jaguar E-Pace and BMW X1 come with similar standard safety features.

    Volvo is really still the leader. They have shared so much information to others in their research in safety, like how Tesla pioneered the EV market, Volvo pioneered the Safety market. Their safety is amazing, and I am lucky to be able to experience it. Others are catching up, but really, Volvo is still leading it. Deny it all you like, but you know they are the top of the safety chart.

They did the same thing when they invented the 3-point seatbelt, gave the patent away to all manufacturers for free, this isn’t new for the brand.

Sometimes if we didn't touch it for a few weeks it would run. It did that when we sold it to a dealer. My dad was so happy to get rid of it. Constant computer systems breaking down. And sludge building up in a filter. We ended up getting a Lexus crossover. And I just got my first car a camry. I realize now the S60 also had bad leg room in the back seat.

    You gotta admit, Volvo is in good hands. They got a lot more funding from Geely for researches and developing new platforms. And their new platforms are shared with Geely's vehicles in China. This really creates a good feedback loop. Yes, in today's world Volvo is harder to stand out in terms of safety because, well, partially they raised the bar to the standard today and even helped other companies to reach that bar. The new styling is really good, especially that Polestar, elegant yet sporty. I recently bought an S90, it looks really nice and infotainment systems are really catching up with the BBAs. I hope they can be the European Lexus and improve on the reliabilities. The other European manufacturers nowadays don't even know what reliability means...

Volvo has never been more independent than it is now. They literally can do whatever they want. If you don't believe me just shut the door in a V90 and then shut a door in a Chrysler or something and tell me what car you'd rather be in. The impeccable build quality is another huge factor in why people buy them. There is also a huge amount of Volvo specific crash tests that the iihs doesn't even test for, so even though the gap isn't as big as it used to be it's still big.

    Why the negative title? The title of the video says “Why Volvo is Losing Its Big Lead in Safety”, but there is no proof other than the others will catch-up... so the conclusion is that they aren’t losing anything, to the contrary, they are growing... In terms of safety you said it yourself, the brand is rated top by consumers, they have zero negative press about safety or anything else (unlike the Germans who are busy with cleaning up after their diesel-gate). The same argument that the others will catch-up can be made for any type of technology in any business. Other car brands can catch up to Tesla in electric, it doesn’t mean that they will do it anytime soon... and the by the time they are doing it Tesla is doing something else. Same for Volvo and safety.

    David Moore They are in the top safety pick and top safety pick plus. And now with euro ncap, the active safety is part of the overall safety rating. If a car scores badly on that, it brings the whole score down. Effectively a car could actually crash the best and guaranteed to save your life but it'll get a bad rating if it doesn't have auto brakes.

Just read this article: www.fuelcardservices.com/no-deaths-in-volvos-super-safe-xc90/ It's a fact that there are no people died in a Volvo SUV since 2004!! That's insane. Also the XC90 is rated by IIHS as Safest Car Of The World 2017. Also, they forgot to mention that the Volvo V40 was the worlds first car which was equipped with a pedestrian airbag as standard. Also far ahead other car manufacturers.

The fact is fact, volvo is declining when other manufacturers are consistently employing new and newer technologies. Tesla got more safety ratings than volvo, but their cars are in retrospect junk in terms of the numerous quality control issues with the most minute things considering what you are paying for. Don't lie to yourself, you know as well as any well respected self individual would and not blatantly still claim volvo as the lead. They are in a loss leader position.

Of course it’s not the manufacturer’s fault people crash, but it seems that they are better protected in a Volvo. Not to mention, did you hear VOLVO IS GIVING SAFETY OBSERVATIONS FOR FREE TO OTHER MANUFACTURERS??? Safety is their advantage yet they just give it away. And it’s not the first time. Show me another company that does this.

It even made me feel emotional because that is why the brand Volvo is, in my vision, nr.1. Their cooperation with their new chinese owners seem to work well, innovation and safety are still the main-focus of Volvo.

    I disagree, crumple zone is the biggest contributor to safety and without a large engine in the front it has much more of it. It's physics. They also have better polar moment of inertia to spin away from objects. Lower center of gravity to reduce rolling and thus have better handling, perhaps not the best in the industry but adding all of these factors reduce the risk of injury even more and reduce the risk of first getting into a crash. That last point is amplified by autopilot, with all the sensors and these features being present in all models the overall safety factor is higher.
