I understand what you're getting at tho. The newer stuff crumples like a crisp packet in an impact. It's all done to absorb the forces before they get to the passengers.

I think the video speaks for itself! The P3 car maintained the cabin structure a lot better than the P1 did.
2014 V60 Polestar 6spd Auto :: Polestar map peak boost 17.4psi :: IPD 3" DP + 150cel :: Polestar 2.5" exhaust :: Paddle Shift Geartronic :: Black glass :: Maxton Splitter :: K+N Filter :: IPD Aluminium Top engine mount :: Brembo 6 pots :: 20" Polestar rims :: Brembo 371mm floating discs :: Sensus RTi + DAB + BT + WIFi :: D3S XENARC 6000k Active bending headlights
I wonder how the p2 would have fared?
P1 still didn't do terrible, considering.
To be fair, if I HAD to be in a crash, I'd be confident in either of them

Nah, I was expecting the 'classic' to be completely obliterated, it didn't do too bad considering the P3 is 15 years more advanced!
I'd would obviously rather be in the P3 in a crash but I don't intend to crash anytime soon

I think the Volvo woulda done alot better head on rather than offset, Offset crash certainly showed the old design of the volvo
But how many crashes are perfectly head-on?

This has been brought up a few times over the years on VOC (sorry for swearing)
There have been all sorts of arguments, some even saying that there's no engine in the 940.
But at the end of the day, the structural design is well over 30 years old, probably 35 years since the 740's development which the 900s evolved from.
You show me a 30 year old design that would do any better against a modern car.
Volvo have always been, and probably always will be developed to be the safest cars possible.
I know what I'll be ferrying by baby around in
