Comments:

Test results almost allowed the car to get four stars. Thanks to the branded SIPS protection system for the side blow, the maximum number of points was put up, and the car with ease fulfilled all the security requirements of 1998. However, the headshop results were worse. The legs and feet of the driver were protected enough. Due to the error when assembling the test instance, there was no beam in the zone near the knees, therefore it was allowed to re-test. The protection of the head of a pedestrian turned out to be good, but this cannot be said about his legs. At the initial test in 1998, S70 received three stars, however, when the experts decided to include the results of a side strike on a pillar in protocols with estimates, the manufacturer initiated the test and such a test to prove the effectiveness of the security curtains (in the basic configuration since 1998). Improvements in protection with lateral strikes allowed Volvo S70 in 1998 to get four stars. The side airbag had the top section to protect the head.

Front punch:

The body frame has retained integrity, and the cab damage was minimal. Driver's head contact with a safety pillow is recognized as stable, although the head slipped a little to the left. The safety belts of the front seats were equipped with pretensioners. Inspection of the car after the strike revealed the rigid elements of the front panel in the driver's knee zone. When hitting, damaged the bottom of the car, crusions and breaks were found on the right side.

Security of passenger children:

In the test used branded non-universal children's chairs for children weighing from 3 to 18 kg. They are established "against the direction of movement" and have outdoor supports. They were compatible with seat belts and ensured good protection.

Side strike:

When hit, the side airbags on both sides of the car worked. The pillow protects the chest and abdominal director of the driver, however, in the pelvic area, a blow to the door of the door with a cardboard support. The car won the maximum evaluation in this category - an impressive result.

Pedestrian safety:

The bumper and the front edge of the hood turned out to be solid and provided pedestrians bad defense. However, the hood surface was close to fully comply with pedestrian protection requirements. For the first time in the history of testing, the car could score three stars in this category.
