About the small overlap front test

Tested vehicle: 2011 Volvo S60 4-door
Rating applies to 2011-18 models

The Volvo S60 was redesigned for the 2011 model year. Moderate overlap ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Volvo.

The moderate overlap frontal crash test ratings also apply to the station wagon version of the S60, known as the Volvo V60, introduced in the 2015 model year.
