The Chevy Volt garnered the top scores for all five tests of IIHS' safety standards. All vehicles underwent meticulous examination including small overlap front, moderate overlap front, and side crash tests, together with the roof strength test and head restraints and tests.
Overall, The Volt was ranked "good" throughout the tests. Chevy has upgraded its version to excellent from its previous model, which earned a rating of being "acceptable" in crash-worthiness. This version had less intrusion into the passenger's margin.
It's All In The Brakes
It gained top scores in front crash prevention. According to Motor Trend, This small car is equipped with optional Front Automatic Braking and Low-Speed Front Automatic Braking, which allowed it to successfully steer clear from collisions at 12 mph and 25 mph. IIHS is all praises for its forward collision warning that meets and satisfies the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standard.
Its Low-Speed Front Automatic Braking systems were also proven superior, which is an important part of the optional Adaptive Cruise Control package. The auto-braking system prevented collisions in both the 12-mph low-speed auto-brake and 25-mph high-speed auto-brake tests.
More Thumbs Up
The IIHS also included headlight testing for the 2017 Chevy Volt. In reports by Automotive World, it was given "acceptable" rating for its standard headlights and "good" for its optional high-beam assist feature which finally gave the car its highest spot.
The Volt is a plug-in gasoline/electric hybrid car that can travel up to 53 miles on a full charge without gas. It is true that 2017 The Volt is just a redesigned version of the 2016 model. However, IIHS has not evaluated or tested any version until now.
The Institute checked the 2017 model as part of its trial program of electric vehicles. There will be more results for the other vehicles that will be released later this year until the next.
