You can find anything you want on the net, it’s the safest to it’s not. The IHS crash ratings are good, though they say the headlights are just adequate. Crash avoidance is the new thing, and that’s VERY tough to measure.

My wife hit a 200 lb deer going 60+ and the vehicle reacted incredibly. Volvo was talking to her within seconds. They control the e-brake remotely and didn’t unlock the vehicle to move until they heard from police on the scene.

It’s likely as good as any of the competition in avoidance and crash rating, but combining the two would be difficult.

He asked for links to dispute his claim as "Volvo is the safest vehicle on the road", I merely obliged.

If one wants to argue that the IIHS.... the Gold Standard of vehicle crash safety ratings... are subjective and "Fake News", by all means have at it.
