EuroNCAP has introduced a new appraisal procedure for assessing the level of whiplash protection provided by passenger vehicles in rear-end collisions. One of the few models that received the highest ranking is the Volvo XC60. The test for whiplash protection provided by cars is being done for the first time by EuroNCAP. The initial tests involved about twenty-five cars. The XC60, with Volvo’s exceptional Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS), was one of five cars to get the highest rating. [source] Add your comment:
