Advanced safety features found in the 2023 Volvo XC40 that make life easier for you

Volvo has been a pioneer of advanced safety in the automotive industry for decades and the Swedish automaker continues to innovate with advanced technologies that make every drive significantly more enjoyable while enhancing your peace of mind on a dark deserted highway or driving in afternoon rush-hour traffic. The XC40, like every other Volvo model, provides a range of driver assistance and safety technologies that you will use and appreciate every day.

Here are a few of the most impressive safety technologies that come with the 2023 Volvo XC40, an IIHS Top Safety Pick.

Standard BLIS

The 2023 Volvo XC40 comes standard with the Volvo Blind Spot Information System, a technology that does more than just warn you of a vehicle present in your blind spot. If you attempt to change lanes and a vehicle is detected by the BLIS system, subtle direction changes will ensure that you do not cross into the other lane and risk a collision.

Rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking

Rear cross-traffic alert are technologies that are fairly common in modern vehicles. This system can warn you of the presence of a vehicle approaching perpendicularly while you are backing out of an entrance or a parking spot with limited visibility. The Volvo XC40's system, however, goes one step further by providing automatic braking functionality which can apply the brakes for you if you continue to reverse and a potential collision is detected.

Advanced collision avoidance

Thanks to the impressive XC40 intelligent safety assistance system, your Volvo can detect a range of potential dangers and apply corrective measures to avoid a collision. Day or night, your XC40 scans the road ahead and can detect other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and even large animals. This can be particularly useful driving on a Saskatchewan highway at night where animals can dart across the road unexpectedly. Your XC40 will be ready.

The 2023 Volvo XC40 offers a range of other advanced safety technologies that keep you in the centre of your lane, avoid unintended lane departures, and help you park with a 360° overhead view of obstacles around you. If safety is important to you, the 2023 Volvo XC40 is the perfect option.
