Safety, Thy name is Volvo

I have yet to meet a motoring enthusiast who hasn’t, at least once, chuckled at the half-witted Volvo jokes that do the rounds from time to time. Truth be told, it is in fact, Volvo, that has the last laugh as competitors struggle to keep pace with their safety innovations. Afterall, had it not been for Volvo’s history of safety innovations and their generous nature in waiving off patent rights to benefit all of mankind, our killer roads would have been an even more dangerous place to drive on, than what they are today.  I recently drove Volvo’s XC40 T4 R-Design (Petrol), and found that while it continues its heritage of safety and is packed to the gills with safety features, what really stood out for me, about this SUV, was its gorgeous Scandinavian design which frankly few rivals can match.  The XC40 T4 R-Design (Petrol) is a beauty, to say the least, and it has got the whole black theme going for it. The black theme, which hasn’t gone down well with many SUV manufacturer’s SUV models, really blends in beautifully on the XC40 T4 R-Design, because of the thoughtful manner in which it has been incorporated throughout on the SUV.
