NHTSA oblique small overlap
Moving Barrier: 56mph (90.12 km/h), 7º Oblique angle, 20% Overlap.
This is a new type crash test by NHTSA. Small 20% overlap frontal crash test aims for vehicle safety improvements.
Moving deformable barrier impacts each vehicle at the same velocity:
- Compare results across the fleet.
- Procedure is more severe for smaller cars.
- Potential to drive convergence of vehicle front-end stiffness.
Head Injury Criteria:
Driver/Passenger
Threshold: 700/700
Result: 197/465
Maximum Chest Compression:
Driver/Passenger
Threshold: 63mm/52mm
Result:-44mm/-31mm
The target vehicle post-test maximum crush was 215 mm.
Structure observations include the following:
- A-pillar buckled causing separation between the top of the door and vehicle
- Windshield shows cracks throughout
- Hood opened during the impact event

Thumbs up for the crash dummies!
Do you think this vehicle is safe when compared to others in the same class? Please comment.

The German car manufacturers thought this crash test was stupid and unfair, with good reason. Their cars all failed the test miserably.
I agree, meow!
Our cars are the best on the marked!!
lauritz!
No they're not, but they certainly are some of the most expensive on the market.
U aren't getting it. Look at our German Crash test's, then speak!
Are you saying the small overlap crash test is bad or just the way they're conducting the test? If it's the latter I agree. IIHS and Euroncap are much better. Their tests reflect reality much better because they crash the car into a barrier instead.
Yes it was indeed.The whips system alone reduced over 20% of the overall impact to the occupant in the seat. It works by a bracket in the seat, and I have seen many lives saved from it in both frontal and read impacts. Once, I was assigned an investigation, which involved a Police Volvo V70 that had been parked on the hard shoulder of a motorway when it was hit by a lorry traveling 70 MPH. Both officers had their seat belts on, and the hand brake off. Both survived with only minor cuts from belt
As a volvo safety co ordinator, I can tell you why this car does not have knee airbags. Because they pose more of a risk, when you really don't need them in this vehicle. The car has been so well designed so that the footwell will remain as a solid box, the pedals will snap off if there is a risk of them harming the legs, and the steering column will raise up, not lower and crush the knees. Adding knee airbags would have just been pointless on this model, in other words, it was safer without.
Now I know why my brake pedal snapped off while I was driving it!
Read the description it was at 56mph the car help up really well
Did much better than a nissan verso
I'm not quite sure what your talking about, but when we tested the vehicle, we discovered that due to the safety design of the seat, and the breakaway pedals, the position the steering column moves to and the strength of the footwell; we soon discovered it would be a pointless exercise and expense to add the knee airbag, when it would have added no more protection to the occupants. As yet, the Volvo v40 is the safest car ever tested, scoring 98%. This shows we must be doing something right.
Amazed by how strong the passenger cell is. Other vehicles tested had more severe deformation.
Volvo for life!!!
I think it is the most precise crash test ever. Always the same energy and it doesn't depend on a car weigh.
P.S. they need better illumination
it's the first car i see succeeding at the most rigourous test of all times.
Well done Volvo!
beautiful and strong
Getting your legs crushed and probably not walking away alive is not really a success.
derbigpr500 Take a look on 5:30. Not stuck.
or crushed
yep and saw many of them at the wreckyard some even with certain 'stains' in it
bravo VOLVO
GOOD
When the car hit the wall after it had crashed the WHIPS system was activated right? (I do hope so :) )
Volvo. For life.
This may look like a lot of damage to the A-pillar, it's when you start looking at other car brands you realize how well it actually performed for a car that was designed before the IIHS small-overlap crashtests. Some cars will let you have the dashboard on your lap after the same crashtest....
Thanks Volvo!
but because B40 is equipped with knee SRS! Why or why they were put, if you say that they do not need?
Wow.
The safest luxury car out there. Definitely my next car. The only thing I'd change would to add knee airbags. But even then, WELL DONE Volvo.
I wonder why they didn’t release the Volvo XC60 footage. They did the same test. I found pictures of the vehicle on an online auto salvage website called poctra.com it performed as expected and it looked good. Just wish I could see how the passenger did with Volvo’s airbag as it looks like they tested with a passenger dummy in that test. I wonder why they didn’t for this one.
1:47... A Pillar bent and dash pushed back?
I believe this is a faster speed than IIHS Test
Then how do you explain the fact that the load on the hips up to the car about 6500 N, while equipped with pillows, but much more strongly deformed Cruz 3000? I like Volvo and I am surprised why they did not set the knee (except B40) and side airbags rear passengers. I ask forgiveness for the bad english, I translated in Google
I hope the Chinese owners of Volvo keep this up and don't futz the company up.
BMW 3 and Mercedes c class.....?
wow.. 90kmh... y sale bien parado
and now it's the turn of mercedes and bmw I wounder how they rip open at this severe test
6500 and 3000 N - data are taken from the official reports on this test
they open like tins
Dude, your profile picture.... no, just no. I momentarily panicked thinking that there was a spider on my screen.
The safest or nothing.
Sexy Volvo!
volvo! XD
Volvos are safe
Pillar collapse insta fail
No it’s not about the structure it’s about the injuries plus it didn’t even collapse it just bended a little
just because you can't afford it
IIHS RATING
-POOR-
How is it poor
IIHS ratting: GOOD
compare it to other cars plus structure injuries and these things did very well
If nothing else Volvo's crash great! lol
volvo. for death
Just because you can't afford one.
wow... fatal crash
No he could walk away since no intrusion and no fatal injuries
Bad.
It might be bad in the outside but the injury’s are pretty good
