The test was conducted in four categories: adult occupant, child occupant, pedestrian , and safety assistance. In the first category scored 98% in protection, the highest score registered by the organization, while the airbag for pedestrians received 88%. This device is under the hood, and when it comes into contact with a person, it gets inflated, raising the back of the sheet that helps cushion the head or body of the pedestrian.

[img4=/cheapcarsimg/2013-volvo-v40-interior.jpg]The all-new Volvo V40 is a five-door hatchback that sets new standards in handling, efficiency, and safety in its segment. Its new design takes the characteristics of the C30 and the classic P1800ES, making it a more sporty car than the rest of its segment. Special attention was paid to handling, steering feedback, agility, and comfort. Volvo engineers believe that the V40 is now the leading exponent in the dynamic behavior in the segment. The only downside was in the children's protection test since it got its lowest rating as well as the Audi A3, Kia Cee'd, and Ford B-Max with 75%. Volvo has always been known as a brand that cares about making cars as safe as possible, and the V40 again ranked in the top rung in that category.
