Both the S90 sedan and V90 wagon scored the maximum five stars – 95 per cent for adult occupant protection, 80 per cent for child occupant protection, 76 per cent for pedestrian protection and 93 per cent against the safety assist checklist. Highlight of the result was a maximum six points in the autonomous emergency braking for pedestrians test (AEB Pedestrian), a first for any carmaker.
