My partner and I were involved in a serious accident last Monday. We owe our relatively few injuries to the incredible safety systems of the vehicle. There were no intrusions to the passenger cage. Airbags seemed to come from everywhere. I would not hesitate over going back to Volvo, in fact, after our experience, I will definitely not go elsewhere.
As soon as the airbags were deployed, Volvo “came in” over the speakers and organised the attendance of police and ambulance services.

All the best and safe motoring,

Hope you are both well and recovering from the accident.

Great to know all the safety features kicked in and Volvo on call were able to help arrange the emergency services.
