If ever we as South African consumers wanted to feel safe on the roads the time is now.
From the onset, Volvo Cars have been a brand for people. Caring about the world we live in and the people around us. Since 1927, when the founders of Volvo Cars decided to focus on safety as one of the company’s core values, they stuck to it and have since become the leaders in that field.
Volvo has to date established a well-earned reputation for building one of the safest cars on the road and have just recently set the new industry benchmark in safety, by receiving the Top Safety Pick + to all 2021 Volvo models, awarded by the Insurance Institute for Highway safety.
It is crucial to note that this is just one of our many “safety successes”. In every generation, Volvo has been a pioneer. We are behind some of the most important innovations in the history of car safety, and we are continuously improving your safety.
