Body
The advanced front structure consists of deformation zones of different grades of steel, each one with a certain role in a collision. The structure is designed to help providing increased protection in a frontal collision.
Side structures of different grades of steel and a number of tubes and
members are all designed to "move" the body to the side, help reducing the risk
of passenger compartment intrusion. Volvo's Side Impact Protection System helps
absorbing the forces in order to maintain an adequate space for the passengers.
