    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge has a score of 90, implying a 0.028% chance of driver death (2.5% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0282% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 3.2248%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0282% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 3.2248% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge is 39% less likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other suvs, the 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge is 31% less likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Active safety features with Volvo's IntelliSafe can substantially reduce the risks of harm to vehicle occupants by preventing severe accidents. The following active safety systems are included even on lower trims/versions of the 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge: Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Departure Warning System, and Blind Spot Information System (BLIS).

    Some safety features still may make a vehicle safer, even if not at the forefront of technological advances. Optional Cornering Headlights / Leveling Head Lamps points head lamps towards where the vehicle is heading, better lighting the road ahead. Side mirror turn signals are standard on the Volvo XC40 Recharge. They alert other vehicles of your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other vehicle's driver to prevent an impending accident with you. Automatic High Beams are standard on the 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge. This feature recognizes oncoming traffic and shuts off high beam headlights until the oncoming traffic has passed.

    But it is about as safe as many comparable models.
