Default Detailed photos of the 2015 XC90 crash test car

I have seen the 2015 XC90 crash test video on youtube several days ago, and the detailed photos of the same testing car are leaked out here:

Exclusive: The 2015 Volvo XC90 Crash Test Car Images and Details

The close look of the frontal part is quite impressive, even the strut tower kept its shape:

Most cars do very well already in the moderate offset test.

Talk to me when they do the small overlap

Gotta keep in mind Volvo is now owned by the Chinese while this kind of safety result is common place; pretty much standard except for a few makes in US and Europe. But in China they have never seen this level of safety before, to them this is like as if they have just discovered electricity for the first time it's AHHHMAZZZING.

Chinese cheap cars dont do good in tests but Chinese buyers are mostly buying European, Japanese and US vehicles which have same crash test results as the ones you buy in the USA.

Now just start transferring some of that safety to DRIVERS over there. Behind the wheel, they have one of the highest accident/injury/death rates in the world.
