The Institute added that it was most impressed with it in the most difficult test of all, the small overlap crash, where you can see in the video below. The XC90 simply pushes itself off the barrier instead of letting the car absorb the impact.

 

In doing so, the IIHS has awarded the car its highest Top Safety Pick+ distinction.
