Small overlap front: driver-side
Tested vehicle: 2013 Volvo XC60 3.2 4-door 4wd
Rating applies to 2013-17 models
The Volvo XC60 was introduced in the 2010 model year. Beginning with 2013 models, the side curtain airbags were reprogrammed to deploy in small overlap frontal crashes to improve occupant protection.

Side: original test
Tested vehicle: 2010 Volvo XC60 3.2 4-door 4wd with standard front and rear head curtain airbags and standard front seat-mounted torso airbags
Rating applies to 2010-17 models
The Volvo XC60 was introduced in the 2010 model year.
During the test, the lower side seat trim was pushed against a service release button for the safety belt, which then detached from its anchor on the outboard side of the driver's seat. Although there was no unusual movement of the dummy, the dummy was not restrained during part of the crash event. Volvo has addressed the problem on models built after November 2009 and is issuing a recall to fix the belts on cars built earlier.
Cars built before the fix and subsequently not repaired would be rated only Acceptable and would not be eligible for TOP SAFETY PICK status.
