“Nobody will be killed in one of our cars” Are you challenging me?

DONT DO IT 😅🤣🤣
I rolled my 2003 XC90 off a freeway in California back in 2015. I was going ~70 mph (~113 kph). I walked away from the accident with nothing but a bruised knee and a minor cut in my hand. I'm sure I get fairly lucky, but the car sure as hell helped a lot. Even after flipping end over there was only 1 spot where the frame bent.
I'm glad you're alright.
in 2013 it was the day before my birthday and I was in a Ford truck with my grandpa and we were on the highway doing 50 in pouring rain and someone clipped tor back left taillight and my grandpa lost control of the truck. it rolled over but the scary part was when my grandpa wasn't in the truck. he was ejected out the window and broke almost all his ribs, broke his c2 vertebrae in his neck, brushed his heart, had a concussion, broke his right shoulder blade, and lots of other things I don't remember. since then he has had a heart attack, 2 strokes and he had an infected rib plate which just healed. he was in the ice for 3 months and he was in the progressive care unit for 1.5 months. once he was home he apoligized for missing my birthday. I had I cut on my wrist and I cut on my leg. that was it because I had my seat belt buckled. long story short WEAR A SEATBELT!!!!!! now I am 10 and to this day I hate being in the car in the rain
Troy Durica did u find out who clipped your tail light if so did your family sued him/ her

Troy Durica Saw that "I am (10-12)" coming
At 4:53 the man who tested this in real life walks into the the background...
Lol
😂😂😂😂
Bruh🤣🤣🤣😭
Was that the guy who had the sticks in his hand
@@emp1re. yeah
This proves, once again, that Volvo is truly the safety leader. I have heard other car companies claim they "set the standard" for safety, but in reality, Volvo has set the standard.
i was killed in one of these cars just last week i call bullshit

MRsjovealek im sorry my mistake........ carry on people im just going to sit over here
1:05 Volvo 240 seat? Lovely!
Shouldn't the name of this show be changed to 6th, 8th, or 10th gear? I mean 5th is a little dated.
lol
+Terminxman Given they're on ITV, 3rd gear seems more appropriate... :P
+twocvbloke it was originally on channel 5 I think
Matt Hodson
Yep, ex-Old Top Gear hosts moved to Channel 5 when TG was scrapped, then Fifth Gear moved to discovery, so, "Find it & grind it broken synchromesh Gear", and apparently now showing stuff on ITV, so, Third Gear... :)
cheers for the info!
At the end, he points out that half of all automotive fatalities in the USA are road departure accidents. As you can see, Volvo is leading research and development in this area, way ahead of other car companies and crash test agencies.
Teslas are the safest cars by far. 9 times better in the pole test. 50% less roll over rate. A lot of the weight is in the batteries, giving it a really low center of gravity.
@@jacobkuca7711 If you are lucky and it actually opens after the accident and you don't burn alive inside it...
@@jacobkuca7711 Let's see those IIHS or EuroNCAP Tests to prove that... oh wait (Not rated, Not Rated, No rating)! They don't exist because Musk won't submit their cars to them, I wonder why?
@@dex2531 he just did
@@93ndani good for Tesla, but they don't beat Volvo's overall score.
2020 is coming! no more accidents . I am proud to drive a volvo
stmsaiya Their target is no more *fatalities* from accidents.

welcome to 2020 the worst year for just car safety
Welcome too 2020.... *cue Cardi B meme* CORONAVIRUS
I own this 2018 Volvo SUV and love it. It’s pure luxury and the 360 camera is awesome.
give me it for free
don s work hard for it
lol@ 1:07: old 240 seat to cart the crash test dummies around. If it works it works! :)
well it's volvos test center...
Volvo's are always good on safety, if they where a little cheaper i would by one 2.

+Erik Maučec just the reliability is lacking
+SolarAbyss, I just sold my 22 year old Volvo - still in mint condition, never caused me any trouble. I hope the new one will last as well.
+SolarAbyss Haha my volvo s60 2.5L is just 200.000km so i can't tell ^^ send ya another message at 300.000 !

I sat in front wenn my dads XC90 Auto braked just when he wanted to start.
It was just some idiot before us braking harder, but the seatbelt system blew my mind pulling me back so hard, making you feel very safe in this car.
Volvo is life, Volvo is love.
Great car and video, I just wish it was longer and detailed on other crash tests.
If i ever get a family, im getting a Volvo
He needs to save his money, the local supermarket sells prepacked families.@Adrian
I'm getting a Micra from the 80's, at least I'll get some peace and quiet.
Happy Guy good choice
Lol have u forgot they cost 50k
Maybe cheapest at 30k
That is if u do
Damn it Volvo, I expected the airhorn from the Dukes of Hazzard when the car got airborne.
This settles it. Definitely getting a Volvo. I can only afford the S60, but I'm getting it.
S60 is a great car
Yes I’ve got a 2012 s60 and absolutely love it it’s super comfy as well
My grandpa owns a 2019 version, and I love the beige interior and the looks, and the features.
Here we are in 2020
This proves why i want a Volvo 😂 Volvo’s were my childhood favourite
Fifth Gear is still running? Holy shit
+nakke skakke eVERYTHING RUNNS ON CZcams

Volvo is the best car brand, Most safety, very elegant, solid and high quality mounted. Cars for people with class and good taste, not for mainstream boys and not for swag.
+Deeste "Not for mainstream boys" Come to Sweden and see how fast you'll be bored of Volvos. I hate Volvo, and I'm Swedish.
+Long Dong I was in Sweden and it was very nice when I was seeing Volvo and Saab everywhere :) Swedish people know thay have best cars.
Deeste I really don't want to admit that Volvos are good cars, I hate them. I guess they're okay :D
+Long Dong I think that you are first Swede who hate volvo :)
+Deeste My colleagues say the same haha. We all hate Saab tho. I've yet to meet a Swede that likes Saab
Now do the same exact test with 5 of its competitors.
I'm sure they do to compare their cars to their competitors
@@Masteraal no, not any more, volvo cannot be beat.
At 4:54, in the upper left corner of the screen, you can see the fourth "highly sophisticated crash test dummy" of this test...
+1zanglang oh thats lowwwww . *says with a slight giggle *
+1zanglang lol, too funny. But not cool dude
ashrafc I don't have any intention to be "cool"... Just sarcastic.
+Mijc Osis (mycosys) Surely, this description fits you. You don't know anything about others, but you, and offcourse, you hope in vain that others would suffer from whatever disease you can think of. Don't worry, careful people like me, don't get sick or brake bones. From what you write here, and from the image of your avatar, it is quite obvious you suffer from some kind of illness, combined with some psychological situation. Now, please concentrate to your treatment and get well if it is possible.
1zanglang lol people like you do get sick and BREAK bones. And my pic only makes it obvious i want to a kinky masquerade ball and got plenty of attention from hot chicks in lingerie. Yes tho - i have a medical condition - it makes me incredibly flexible, means i keep my muscles strong and gives me gorgeous soft skin. I look 10 years younger than i am because of it. Well worth a little pain.
My mother is the crippled one - lived in the aussie outback, drove semis, lived in the PNG highlands, travelled the world, got an economics degree in her 30s after she had us - then fell down a flight of stairs on a rainy day at work and broke her back.
I wonder what would have happened if I'd been in one of these when I crashed my truck. I went through a deeper ditch, but I missed the culvert when I launched over the field entrance. Given that I was in a truck and had no weight in the back, I ended up slamming nose down for the first impact before continuing over. I bet this wouldn't have gone onto the roof like my Toyota did. At the very least, I'd hope the windshield wouldn't have gone flying away with my dash cam.
I was thinking of getting this - a Volvo XC90 Exellence but I instead got an SQ7. It was so much more fun to drive. At the end of the day, practicality and driving pleasure is what it came down to
Now, that is what you call dedication. Volvo...awesome.
I agree ... I've become a volvo believer 😊
I built about every fucking seat in these cars you see, so be grateful we doublecheck the airbag system in them now.
Stephanie Hallberg "Coffee, two sugars and make it quick....I haven't got all day!"
HOLY CRAP U ARE ONE HOTTIE IN THE FACTORY !! WUD SURE LOVE TO DOUBLE CHECK UR AIRBAGS FOR THEIR COMFORT AND LUXURY ALL THE TIME MISSY :D :D
Great video...Awesome video and awesome car...
I did the exact same thing in my 95 Silverado at about 30 miles an hour with culvert twice as tall. It bottomed out all 4 tires and landed in the ditch on the other side of the culvert 40 feet from where it took off. I put it in 4wd and drove out of the ditch and home. After an alignment, it ran and drove just as good as normal. Looks kind of crappy now, though.
It’s been five years
6:38 look at the wheels
Volvo is the best.. gud job!!
Please don't end this show!
safety = Volvo XC90
off road = Land Rover Range Rover
Johnlim Male dog in a handbag=range Rover
Or people that live in remotely woody areas that have a few leaves on the road.
Both=Mercedes-Benz GL
*off road wrx
Off Road = Toyota Landcruiser
Rovers have gone soft
4:53 that guy on the back was their previous test dummy
Funny thing is I never thought I’d own one but now I’m a happy owner a S60. It’s also very comfy unlike my C300 which I had too many problems with glad I got a Volvo
I applaud their trying to be the safest car/svu out there. I just ordered a XC 90 T8 inscription last week with a 2 month wait. The problem with crashes is the sudden stop that your organs/ neck can't sustain causing death from internal bleeding and neck fractures. No amount of safety can eliminate this, for now.
This is why i feel save when i sit in a Volvo! Most then other cars
call me crazy but i would volunteer to be a crash test dummy in this car
1:13 THAT FACE THO
Just the good ole boys, Never meanin' no harm.... :D
I want to see it crash dead center into a iron poll at 50 MPH head on and see what happens .
Still not dead when hitting 50 mph but lightly injured.
My friend... it's not the poll test but even so... take a look at this
czcams.com/video/qGUgXV4hTVo/video.html
such a thing does not exist in europe, they however do a 60? mph frontal crash with another car/block of concrete, and yes you will survive, THAT is their golden standard.
@random person they dont use mph in europe, so that wont happen, go home yanbk
How likely are you you to run into an iron pole?
That's Swedish quality! Love my XC90 I
buyed 2018 xc90 month ago, its awesome!
Buyed? You mean bought?
6:08 XC60
alianisz nice spotting sherlock.
2020 less death
God: I don't think sooo
I want to work at Volvo's safety division now....
Fascinating. I think if I were going to buy a larger crossover, I'd go for this instead of another X5...not just because of the safety features, either.
Its not these crashes that kill you. Its the not so dramatic crashes where all the energy is dissipated instantly that get you.
We should return to the days of sharp metal dash boards and no seatbelts. People need to fear for their lives just to get them to pay attention anymore.
+Pha Q Fighting danger with danger will not add any safety pal...
Da Mighty Horse I guess you missed the point.
Complacency causes more accidents.
+Pha Q Someone made a good point, if all cars were fitted with a metal spike attached to the steering wheel then people would drive very, very carefully. The accident rate would obviously go down, the fatality rate would most probably increase though. Anyway, the point was that all our new safety equipment (seat belts, air bags, driver aids, crumple zones, etc) can give the driver a sense of indestructibility and thus, some decide to drive like idiots.
+Pha Q General Motors from the 60s called and want their logic back.
+Luke Robinson I'm pretty sure that 'somebody' was Jeremy Clarkson so credit goes to him for that logic
0:40 alright bet
3:11 "We're going to Mars!"
It wants to be like the 2020 roadster with space X thrusters
I have been in that test center 4 years ago my dad works there
Thank you Volvo.
Volvo
Very impressed 4 sure..
What model year Volvo Was this? 2014 or 2015?
if i went into tht ditch with my car at 50mph i prob wouldnt be typing this right now...everyone thts saying tht wasn't tht bad of a crash imagine a Honda accord going into tht thing
+247DUDELY I have difficulty placing any credence in the comments of a person too lazy to type vowels.
The new Accords are super safe so I assume it would do fine. It aced all the crash tests it was put through and has one of the lowest death rates.
u would scrape like crazy lol #stance
Honda has every vehicle in their line up with 5 star crash ratings. They dont sell anything with 4 star. Go do some research before you start speaking. Honda is only a company with all car being 5 star crash rating.
+WHEREISTHEREASON fck urslf
Amazing!!… I am so glad i own the safest car in the world, just yesterday i traded my x5 4.8 2009 for the new 2016 xc90 r design in white, i am loving this car, and volvo has a new fan..:)
5th Gear is like the Daily Mail of car shows.
UPLOADED ON MY BIRTHDAY

There is a small community on the swedish island, Gotland, that is called Gothem... almost as Gotham...
And here we are
I'm surprised that the curtain airbag on the left side didn't deploy. The front passenger's head looked close to the window!
I want this paint
me too :)
+Dubble Step Records Just paint it with orange plasti dip.
I need me a Volvo XC90
Volvo should build a sportcar
+Nino Schier I don't think 'volvo' are capable of that.....
+Nino Schier S60 Polestar. Look it up
Actually the XC90 is not as safe as you’d think. A few examples: (a) there are so many safety things beeping at you it’s quite a distraction; (b) the proximity warnings go off at weird times e.g. a bike passing 4ft away while you’re stationary in a traffic queue; (c) the distance-controlled cruise control deactivates when you use your indicator - so you accelerate into the car in front; (d) the auto-stop doesn’t work below 4mph - so the car will happily drives slowly into anything in front in, say, a traffic queue. Oh, and the automatic speed sign alert if wrong 35%of the time - I’ve lost count of the number of times I’d be driving down a dual carriageway at 70mph when the “30mph” alert screeches - because it had seen a side road speed sign. It goes on.
I've never seen a culvert that was cut off on a 45° angle. They are always vertical and have stone or concrete walls around them.
Put it itno a telephone pole at 120 kph. If that works then I am impressed.......................
+Fair dinkum even if the car would survive, the people inside wouldn't because of the deceleration.
+MrGamegast That's why the cars gets a lot more damaged now days during a crash - to make the crash time longer. Volvo cars are also designed to deform in a way so the car slides sideways from the obstacle they hit.. so that the car keeps going instead of a full stop. With that said if you crash into a telephone pole the car might slide to the side of it and keep going before it stops, reducing the force by a tone compared to a car that fully stops at the pole. I saw a few crash test when cars were tested on crashing into a small overlap on IIHS Volvo were the only car that were still traveling forward after the collision. Search for "2016 Volvo XC90 small overlap IIHS crash test" on CZcams to see what I mean.
XouZ thats very true, a smart does that too!
Leon I think it’s called the tridium safety cell
i crashed my volvo into a tank ,,,,,,, tank driver died
They did this same crash test on the original XC90 when it came out in 02'
3:12 jest spray paint an 01 on the side and you got the general lee. YEEE HAAA.
hey volvo if it possible to give me a car for free? and let me crash it when i bored it?
that does not look like a serious crash at all..
+Tadas ..
Best comment yet. For the Safety features of this car.
This Car should have rolled over when it hit the ground. Simple Physics proves that. The fact that it did not roll over proves, they got it right.
If the official test does not require that speed. It will never happen. Would like though to see this text done with a 10/15 year old car.
+Tadas
This could still kill a person/s.
+Tadas Good, it means the car handled it well.
+Tadas that only proves you are a moron. coming down from even 6 feet in the air can break your spine and kill you outright, let alone that height. Cars made for jumping have special pads and collapsible seat supports to protect the stunt drivers. You need to stop watching so much hollywood crap.
Would the car have been considered totaled?
amazing car
That wasn't even a slightly severe crash ... A $20k Hyundai would have done just the same
I seriously doubt that.
+legioner9 Just Because it wasn't a monster ditch that you'll never see does that make this a bad test? That is a pretty standard looking ditch to me.
+legioner9 : If somebody is into the extreme of things, this isn't a ditch but then, this isn't a high performance car and isn't running at speeds above 120mph. This clip doesn't show you what grand theft auto would look like, this clip shows what a normal roadway with a normal car would do in such a situation. This shows what could happen to you when you drive a car at 50mph on a normal road. That is what crashtests are for.
+donkeydicked : You think so? I think that that same Hyundai would roll over, crashing every pillar it has, inguring everyone in the car in such a way, only a dentist would know who is who. Not to mention if they ever could retreved from that car.
+donkeydicked the only thinkg that proves is you are an idiot who watches too many hollywood movies - that could very easily break your back and kill you, not to mention most cars would roll.
So since Volvo used accelerometer and gyroscope for protection, they could use the same hardware to do a cool set of AWD right, like Huracan
Who got Jonny "the facial hair is art" boy ready for this look at me on big boys tv day away from kids/daytime tv the place for Jonny boys this world to be ....bless them
Hahaa... i love how the Dummy is sitting on Volvo 240 seat 😂
Hi how's it going?# Wonderiul! invention list What's your opinion about tjis
but what would have happened if the car would have ACTUALLY hit that pipe in that ditch? Cos in that test, you can see it at the end of the video @ 6:14, the tires did not hit the pipe. The pipe went under the car and then the car just left the ground nose up from the ditch without hitting the pipe
This why I love Volvo so much came us so safe
"Swedish Metal Airborne". Now That is a good name for a band
it did really well
How does/would one look into careers with Volvo? It would be an honor to work for such a conscious company.
great car time for a comeback for volvo
Melhor carro do mundo
That crash was a lot tamer than I thought it was going to be. I was hoping for a proper roll. That crash took place over quite a distance meaning that the impact was spread out and not so dangerous.
Lol. That accident is still enough to give you upper spinal cord damage.
I have NEVER heard anyone say Crikey Mikey hahahahahahahahaha
Nice video Jeremy Clarkson!
i have no reference of how good this actually is
I don’t get how you can have a single car accident in the USA, of the 2 states I’ve visited all the roads are very wide, straight and the corners are shallow and well marked.
This is emotional for me
try it with the Romanian ditch made of cement and more than 1 meter deep, and straight at 90 degrees, not blunt at 45 degrees.
This is why I'm glad my first car is an s70
