The Volvo S60’s composite score was composed of five stars across the board: It earned a five in frontal, rollover, side pole and side barrier crashes. Volvo’s midsize sedan is the eighth vehicle to be awarded NHTSA’s highest combined star rating for the 2012 model year. Other five-star vehicles include the Cadillac CTS, Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Sonic, Saab 9-4X, Toyota Camry and Volkswagen Passat.
The organization plans to test 74 vehicles for the 2012 model year, including 22 SUVs, eight pickup trucks and two minivans.
