Whilst at the dealership I was explaining to the salesman that my wife was in a serious car accident some years ago and so makes for a nervous passenger. The safety elements of the Volvo were therefore a huge plus point.
He then explained how he’d had his XC40 Inscription written off in a head on collision with a young inexperienced lad in a Corsa recently.
He showed me the photo of his motor which was in a bad way. The front was a mess, the offside front wheel had been pushed back about 8 to 12 inches and the door was moved back too, yet there was no intrusion into the cabin at all. He showed me a photo of the intact cabin with all the spent airbags too. He walked away from it without any issues.
The Corsa on the other hand didn’t come out of it so well. He showed me the photos of that. The frontal collision was so heavy it had dismantled the front end to the point of ripping the engine from the car. It was mad to see it just sitting in the road next to the car.
