Volvo's aim is zero accidents in one of their (new) cars by 2020 and of course safety kit is high on the list; City safe, pedestrian airbags, cameras that detect cyclists (and proper bikes), radar controlled cruise control, radar sideways scanning when reversing out into a road, parking sensors and cameras, blind spot radar, lane assist, monitoring and warning against drowsiness, queue assist to prevent low speed bumps in traffic.
Of course also has kick-ass Dolby 12 speaker Surround Sound stero with multiple inputs, internet connection (not while engine running), effective and easy to use sat nav, top spec security including tracker and emergency assist. Add in some bling wheels, silver faux aluminium bits and a bright red paint job and it even looks a tiny bit flash, in a Volvo sort of way of course ; )
Mustn't forget the most exclusive bit of the car - the 4M long cable in the boot to plug it into a power supply!
