The Volvo EX30 continues its flawless performance

Smallest SUV in the brand’s lineup to date, the Volvo EX30 follows in the footsteps of its larger siblings in terms of automotive safety.

The Volvo EX30 has just received the maximum five-star rating in safety tests conducted by Euro NCAP, the leading European organization for automotive safety. Since the recent recalibration of the scoring system, which now places greater emphasis on driver assistance systems, five stars are no longer awarded as easily. Proof of this is the very strict 4-star rating earned by the Renault 5.

Euro NCAP assesses the protection offered by vehicles in several areas, including safety for adult and child passengers, protection for vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists, and increasingly, the effectiveness of driver assistance systems. These ADAS can be a pain or a valuable aid depending on the driver’s level and knowledge of the best ways to configure them.

Despite its compact size, the EX30 has performed well across all categories. At the very least, this was expected since it is equipped with all the advanced safety features available on the manufacturer’s higher-end models. Rest assured, the price takes this into account; it’s not about giving away equipment… Volvo has emphasized that the vehicle’s safety features are based on decades of research into real-world accidents. The Swedish manufacturer, now under Chinese ownership, has built its reputation around this safety with a legacy that it seems determined to preserve.

These results at least confirm that compact SUVs like the EX30 can meet modern safety standards. No more excuses for the little friends now thanks to the top-performing Volvo!
