(IRVINE, Calif.) May 31, 2007. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently conducted its first crash tests of several convertibles and has awarded the Volvo C70 as one of their ‘Top Safety Picks’.
“For more than 80 years, Volvo has built cars with Safety in mind,” states Anne B?lec, President and CEO, Volvo Cars of North America. “We are extremely pleased to have done well in the Institutes’ testing program. From the very start of our modern convertible program, our goal was to bring advanced technology and engineering skills into this flagship vehicle.”
The hot-selling Volvo C70 arrived in the U.S. market in 2006 and has set the benchmark for convertible safety in regards to occupant protection with a number of safety systems, including the unique Inflatable Curtain for side impact protection, the use of multiple grades of steel for frontal and rear collisions, and Volvo’s Roll Over Protection System (ROPS).
