We here at Freedom Volvo always knew that safety was the single biggest priority with our favorite Scandinavian automaker, but now the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has made it crystal clear. More specifically, the organization recently bestowed a total of five new Volvo models with their coveted "Top Safety Pick" designation, and we couldn't be happier!

Which specific models took home the top honor? They are the Volvo C30, S60, S80, XC60, and XC90. Each of them represent a different style and segment within the automotive industry too, proving that safety isn't exclusive to any one type of vehicle.

Of course, there's still the question of how exactly these vehicles managed to attain the IIHS Top Safety Pick Status too. In order to do so, a vehicle must perform well in all crash tests that the organization puts them through. Furthermore, that vehicle must also offer electronic stability control as a standard feature. If they don't, the title is a no go.

If you think that Volvo stopped there, boy have you got another thing coming! The company continues to packs its lineup with advanced safety systems and technologies like adaptive cruise control with queue assist and distance alert, and collision warning with full auto brake and pedestrian detections.
