What's New

ABCNews.com completed a car list based on research in Consumer Reports, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and interviews from car experts to determine a list of sturdy cars, which includes Volvo, says Mississippi Volvo dealer.

Jackson MS Volvo dealers Paul Moak Volvo have announced that ABCNews.com has released a list of the sturdiest vehicles and two Volvo models, Volvo S80 and XC60 have made the list.

ABCNews.com used research from Consumer Reports and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, as well as interviews with auto safety experts such as Kelley Blue Book’s executive editorial director Jack Nerad, to compile its own list of the safest car choices for all different types of drivers.  Mississippi Volvo dealers report that Volvo was chosen in the categories of “Sparing No Expense” and “Something for the City Folk.”

Sparing No Expense: Volvo S80

“The single most important contributor to a vehicle’s crash survivability is its mass,” said Russ Rader, a spokesman for the Arlington, Va.-based Insurance Institute, which conducts ongoing crash tests on 150 vehicles.

So focusing on sedans, sparing no expense and taking into consideration its storied history as a leader in safety innovation, Volvo races to mind when evaluating safe cars, most experts agree. The Volvo S80 ranked among the four safest “large” cars that were collision-tested by the Insurance Institute. Nerad, who has been writing about auto safety for more than a decade, is leaning toward Volvo as safe choices for drivers.

“Volvo walks the talk on safety,” Nerad said. “Being on the cutting edge is part of their culture.”

The size and design increase this vehicles durability, plus with all of the advanced technological features Mississippi Volvo drivers have come to expect, such as automatic driver alerts helping to mitigate everything from lane drift to blind spots, the Volvo S80 has to be considered a leading contender towards the safest car ever built.

Something for the City Folk: Volvo XC60

Although not everyone in the city needs a car, those who want to get around on their own should look for the Volvo XC60.  Although Jackson is no NYC, automatic braking can save drivers from getting in an accident.  For city driving, the Volvo XC60, available at Jackson MS Volvo dealerships, gets the win. As the only car to feature automatic braking, the car appeals to those who are in high volume stop and go situation.

“In stop and go situations, if the person ahead of you stops suddenly, the Volvo XC60 will stop automatically if the driver doesn’t hit the brake fast enough,” said Nerad. “Typically, Volvo has this type of advanced capability.” Still, this model wasn’t as maneuverable as some others tested, said Quincy.
