The V60 Plug-In Hybrid has electronic stability control as standard, and the car passed Euro NCAP's test
requirements. Seatbelt reminders are provided for the front and rear seats and a driver-set speed limitiation device is
also standard on all variants.
Pedestrian
Safety assist
The protection offered by the bumper to pedestrians' legs was good in most areas tested. The front edge of the
bonnet was predominantly poor or marginal. In most areas where the bonnet would be struck by the head of a child, good protection was provided but the protection offered to an adult's head was predominantly poor but was good in
several of the areas tested.Adult occupant
Child occupant
Based on dummy readings in the dynamic crash tests, the V60 hybrid scored maximum points for its protection of the 3 year infant. In the side impact, both dummies were properly contained within the protective shells of their restraints, minimising the likelihood of head contact with parts of the car interior. The passenger airbag can be disabled by means of a switch. However, information provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag is not sufficiently clear. The dangers of using a rearward-facing restraint in that seat without first disabling the airbag are clearly indicated on labels in the car.The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal impact. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. Volvo showed that a similar level of protection would be provided for occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. In the side barrier test, the V60 Plug-In Hybrid scored maximum points, with good protection of all body areas. Even in the more severe side pole test, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other body regions was good. The seat and head restraint provided good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision.SPECIFICATIONS
