Seansene 1st Gear November 19, 2002 Share November 19, 2002 Well, "safety" has two components: active and passive, and unfortunately most people only pay attention to the latter (airbags, yada yada yada...). But active safety - the ability to avoid an accident in the first place - is IMO more crucial, where a good engine, steering, brakes and handling all come into play. And a TC'ed V6 will definitely help here... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondeo Neutral Newbie November 19, 2002 Share November 19, 2002 To active & passive also no different, as long as if there's accident, sure got something wrong-Human or Cars. To me as much as grap the safety figure on car, better make the in-cell cabin as a shield to avoid and accident effects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie November 20, 2002 Author Share November 20, 2002 The XC90 has a low car-height bumper bar which will initiate the other "victim car's" crumple zones and airbag system rather than like conventional SUVs cause standard cars to plow under the SUV, now that's one helluva active safety ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
