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.

News Editor

Hellbent on finding a journalism job after earning an English degree from DePaul University, I stumbled into the automotive industry in 2003 — much to the delight of my Corvette-obsessed dad. After working as an editor at Consumer Guide Automotive for several years, I joined Cars.com in 2011 and am currently an expert reviewer, certified car-seat technician and mom of three. I wear a lot of hats — many of them while driving a minivan. My first car was a 1994 Mercury Tracer, and I currently drive a 2012 Mazda5.
